Today Paradox Interactive and Tectonic Studio shared another gameplay trailer of their upcoming simulation game Life by You.

This time around, we take a look at the rather impressive building tools included in the game, specifically how it's possible to change textures and colors for walls and floors with a considerable degree of freedom. 

Not only we can switch the texture, but we can also tweak its scale. As a bonus, we take a look at how it's possible to stretch rooms. 

You can watch the trailer below.

Life by You will hit early access on Steam and the Epic Games Store for PC on September 12. The game's development is led by the studio's general manager Rod Humble, whom you may know for his works on The Sims franchise and Second Life.

The game was teased during an event early last month and then fully revealed a couple of weeks later with the first trailer. We also saw another gameplay video showing how you can manually control your human and even drive a car around town, on top of one showing how you can add, remove, and customize humans in your town.

If you're interested in simulation games, Paradox and Colossal Order also announced Cities: Skylines successor Cities: Skylines II during the same event. That's coming for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 in 2023, including Game Pass.
