PoppyAppletree: I recently started playing Fallout 4, and I honestly find the settlement building aspect more enjoyable than the wasteland exploration part of the game. I'd like to play more games with that type of gameplay as the focus, rather than being a minigame or whatever. I think I'd also want something more permanent than a level-based game where you start a new town each level, and more customisable than something like Sim City or Pharaoh where you just build generic buildings. I guess Dwarf Fortress is along the lines of what I'm talking about? If it's got a cute/stylised art style, even better. Historical, fantasy, or sci-fi flavours would probably be what I'd enjoy most - I don't think Project Highrise is something that would interest me, whereas I've wishlisted Symmetry.
The other thing you can do is go to the Nexus and search though all the mods that tinker with the settlement aspect of the game. I, too, am playing fallout 4 for the first time and really digging the settlement aspect!
