I want to be able to be a colonizing warlord who also lives with 20 cats, Is perpetually horny. and keeps lighting his house on fire.

Go. Outside.
Dwarf Fortress is the closest thing I’ve played to this
Crusader Kings?
Checks everything.
In SimCity 4 you were able to import your Sims from The Sims (1). But that was about it. It didn’t influence the game very much.
And you could use your city as a neighborhood in The Sims 2.
Your likely best bet is whatever you’d call the genre RimWorld is in. RimWorld itself could probably scratch that itch if you up the number of colonies you can have in the settings and add a few mods that expand the world map-level gameplay.
Just a few thousand more mods and it will be perfect. lol
Rimworld feels like my kind of game but everytime I watch its trailer on steam I think “oh maybe it isn’t”.
Mostly the guns and stuff make it seem like it might not be the kind of game I expect.
They showcase the combat because action looks better in previews. Your base does get raided occasionally, but most of your time is spent balancing all the tasks a colony needs done and maintaining the fragile mental states of your limited number of colonists (it takes heavy inspiration from Dwarf Fortress in that regard).
You can also adjust the settings of the “storyteller” (the AI that makes events happen to shake up the gameplay) if you want a more peaceful community builder sort of experience.
One of those is turn based, the other is a real time simulation. How were you envisioning time would pass?
Massive Chalice comes to mind, but it’s more like tactics + sim.
Stellaris is a pretty decent hybrid of a real-time-turn-based game.
Time flows on, but the major math all happens at the end of the month. You can spacebar pause whenever you need, but you don’t have to keep smashing that turn button
I didn’t think that far! I thought maybe one of you would find the solution for me :D
The honesty is refreshing.
Crusader Kings 3
I have often thought about making a game like that. One of my main inspirations is “Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as A King”
Off the topic title alone, I’d say Animal Crossing fits the bill. I mean, it’s Sims but you build up your island. You technically colonise the archipelago in the DLC, and you can put castle walls and turrets around your house.
There are a bunch of games like that. Animal Crossing is just the one I play. It’s made for kids, but it’s secretly (?) post-apocalyptic (I was shocked to find out but apparently it’s kinda common knowledge in the fandom?), but there are others like that.
