Games similar to Animal Crossing (doing something each day)
- Thread starter Alastor3
- Start date
Minecraft and Stardew Valley are not realtime so you can sort of do your own routine with what you want, no?
Although, so many games now have dailies for players to complete its crazy. Think pretty much all games.
try this one, it's great

Only game that comes to mind is Harvest Moon in terms of being relaxing and settling into a routine. However it lacks a real time clock.
The Harvest Moon that I feel like comes closest to the feeling of Animal Crossing is A Wonderful Life I used to go back and forth between this and Animal Crossing as a teen

Yeah it's a really good one.
I like that there's no energy system nor endgame, really similar to Animal Crossing.
none of these have a real-time clock like Animal Crossing. But they were what reminded me of them after playing Animal Crossing.
Harvest Moon (the one that got me into these simulators)
Rune Factory (combat orientated version)
Stardew Valley (renewed my love for the genre)

My timer is at 150 hours. A big part of it is by my 4yr old though.
With the higher level crops, flowers, animals and fish you even have the real time component of animal crossing because you have to wait several days until they are ready again. Right now I'm collecting money to upgrade the upgrade buildings like the green house.
Best 3DS game. Loved it.The GOAT
Also My Time At Portia.
And there is this lesser known Steam game I have wishlisted which also seems to be similar. Didn't play it yet, though:
Is that new PC "Animal Crossing knockoff" out yet? It looks like a straight Animal Crossing clone with a 3D modelling software's interface for decorating.
EDIT: It's Hokko Life and is currently in Early Access.

I need to give this one another spin. Lost interest a few hours in.
Tomodachi Life and Disney Magical World 1 & 2 fit the bill in my opinion. They're both real time dependent but have a variety of different activities that keep them just distinct enough from Animal Crossing to be really enjoyable.
Nintendogs isn't exactly like Animal Crossing structurally but you're encouraged to check in every day and it's ridiculously relaxing
Magician's Quest on the DS is a more direct Animal Crossing clone but you're a wizard learning spells. There were sequels but they never got localized.
There was also My Life as a King on WiiWare but that's long since become unavailable legally

completely forgot about that game, too bad it's almost 60$ on store in Canada stillFrom what I remember of it, Tomodachi Life might fit the bill.
Persona utilizes a similar mechanic, in case you want a more hybrid approach to that kind of game mechanic.
Tomodachi Life was a ton of fun to play.
The request/chore mechanics are quite similar to Animal Crossing, and there are a few creative elements in both that make it feel similar.
Love Tomodachi Life, though.

Sims maybe Minecraft too.
I would say harvest moon, rune factory or Stardew valley but those games aren't as relaxing do to having an in game clock so you're constantly doing short tasks and micromanaging.
Animal crossing is mostly collecting items and decorating so Sims has that same itch I feel.
