We have The Sims, which is, some would say, the quintessential life simulator: you create characters, give them a home, make them do stuff, make sure they're well-fed, have money, etc. It's nice, but EA has milked The Sims into the ground. I'm not paying 1000$ just to have all the fancy options and then download another 2 GB of sex mods atop of the 200 GB of official content, because the game doesn't feature any kind of adult content on its own. It's just not worth it.
On the other end of the spectrum we have LifPlay, which is like The Sims, but different. It's a really fun game, giving you options to bang men, women, trans, elves, orcs, and even adding some tentacle monster and vore options. You have a big city map filled with points of interest, you have food, drink, work, sleep, gym, and so on, it's all good, but there's one big problem: it's not a life sim. LifePlay is a sex sim with RPG mechanics.
But until it becomes a proper life sim, I want some alternatives. They don't have to be 3D (in fact, I'm looking for something that can be run on a potato computer, or a 10 y.o. laptop), what I want is proper life-sim features (and consequences), and a variety of options when it comes to sexual partners. It can be slice-of-life or fantasy (though I'd prefer realism). It can be html or renpy, or whatever. I actually remember enjoying a rather simple lifesim called Kudos (it's sequel, rather).
Kudos was an indie game, and, as the British press described it "A perfect time-waster". Kudos 1 had 3D character arts, but it was kinda uncanny valley, and the mechanics were kinda raw. Kudos 2 used a visual style similar to what we have in Good Girl Gone Bad, and was a major improvement over the original. Now, in my opinion it could have benefited from some sex options, even in the basic form of images or gifs. But anyway, that's just me.
Any suggestions?

- You don't need to eat or sleep, because there's no real hunger mechanic and no death.
- You don't need to work, because there's no limit to the debt you can get into, and the bank will just offer to delete your bad credit history. And if that weren't an option already, you can always work unofficially as a prostitute or a porn actor, or strip for money, and none of it has any real consequences, because there's no real crime and punishment mechanic in the game either. Sure, you can get STDs or get violated, but it still doesn't have any lasting impact.
- You don't need a home, because you can sleep in hotels or just marry and move in with your spouse, or not even sleep at all and just get rid of exhaustion by spamming massage or drinking coffee.
- And what of the marriage mechanic? It's pointless, the only things you get from it are a free home (optionally) and some ntr events (if you're into that sort of stuff, also optional). In truth, you don't need to marry either, because all (or most) the npcs are super hot and stay in your contact list indefinitely, so you'll never lose track of them either way, and the game doesn't even have dynamic relationships, so they'll always stay single (or if not, it's not hard to convince them to cheat).
