Practically none really, but there are competitors coming out at least, primarily this and Paralives, probably because people are sick of EA's shit.
EA have been pulling their shit for decades though, so its surprising no one has tried to eat their lunch before now.
I think it's because life sim games are hard to make, and up until recently, no one thought it was worth the effort to make one, when most people would just stick to The Sims. It probably helps that TS4 has been out for so long, and TS5 or whatever they want to call their next one, seems far away.
according to EA Sims 5 will never happen. Probably because they know they will lose so many players that have already spent north of 1000$
