Does “satisfactory” count? It’s still in early access but I fucking love that game.
Tropico 4 tbh lol, super fun

Ixion comes to mind. You are in charge of managing a space station as you try to navigate the last of humanity to a new planet. Its more directed than most Sims, with a campaign split in to multiple acts but I found it quite challenging and engaging.
Anno 1800 is amazing if you don't like the survival aspect of the other games.
If you liked Frostpunk, have a look at Ixion.
You're on a space station, basically the same thing. Except it's one large campaign, not like Frostpunk's limited format. Honestly I think Frostpunk is the superior game, but Ixion is pretty good.
