Thanks, this was the best gift. "Just like Sim City but bigger and better" (-Mum)

I didn't know this existed. Brought me down a rabbit hole of ways to play games for people with limited mobility. Will definitely remember this for her and spread the word

Thanks, that's a great game. I even got a copy for me as well lol I wish they would release it on ipad for my girlfriend, though. I think it would sell really well on mobile...

The Ranch of Rivershine, which released this year. Yep, and I am not ashamed (maybe a bit). We always pre-play the games our daughter gets a bit and with this one I just couldn't stop. Not at all what I normally play. I hope they add more content soon.

I didn't even think of the Sims, that's a good suggestion. Thank you! The drama is okay, it's more like murder cases and stuff that she doesn't like.

Free games unfortunately all have item shops and those waiting times for crops to grow, she doesn't play on her mobile because she doesn't like these kind of features. Her gold standard in games is SimCity. If I had to guess than I'd say she played that one for 1000 hours.

 

Hi, my mom got into gaming and asked me for recommendations. She has a laptop, but here comes the catch(es)...

She is not comfortable at all with using the keyboard because of pain in her left arm. Controller doesn't work either because of this but the mouse is fine.

The games should not be violent at all. Like, many Point' And Click adventures and Hidden Object Games have a dark story. My dad says these really work her up and she ponders about those dark stories for days lol (in a negative way).

Honestly, I play completely different games so I have no idea what to tell her.


Thank you all so much! Got my mum hooked onto Dorfromantik and Cities Skylines for the time being. And some ideas for the next birthday as well.
