About
Hop on, we’re leaving, and your new life awaits! Paralives is a sandbox life simulation game with a great cast of Townies to meet, as well as a vibrant open-world town to explore and make your own. You will feel right at home, should you choose to embark.
Whether you focus on your career, finding love, building a family, or becoming the richest person in town, the story is yours to write in Paralives. But twists and forks in the road await. What will you leave behind?
Thanks to an ever-evolving catalog of furniture, decor and clutter objects, staging the perfect homes for your Parafolks will be a breeze: resize, recolor, stack and place items freely for a tactile building experience.
Paralives allows truly grid-less constructions with curved walls, split-level floors and more. Recreating your house or building an intricate 8-story mansion has never been this easy.
You will be handed an advanced character creator called the Paramaker. Adjust the height of your Parafolks, tweak a wide array of facial and body features, design stylish outfits and create complex personalities. From head to toe, no small detail will be left out!

IT'S SO FUN!!! I can say this is better than sims fr fr
great game 10/10
It is super fun and you can do a lot of things in the game. Literally the only thing I dont like about this game is that it costed money, but that isn't much of an issue anyways.
great time and a good first impression i cant wait to see what the devs cook up once they finish the game
I have a suggestion. It's actually something a AI mentioned. What if you could set Life Settings differently for your current house and non house members. Copilot said I should set my household to Normal and non-household members to long. That isn't a option but, it would be nice to set both differently. I love the game. It needs work but, it has tons of potential. Most games focus on money, those games stress me out. This has potential to counter my stress. I was born with about 10x stress via about 11% Thyroid. So, having a game I can play so full of love makes me happy. Only thing that annoys me is clothes. I don't like clothes for women that show off too much. I'm from a time where females had to have clothing going down to their knees. Other then that I can't think of any problems.
Its not just "better than the sims" it breaks a lot of the rules of the life sim genre. If you're willing to relearn certain mechanics, and stop holding this game to be like the others, it is so much more rewarding. I love how much freedom this game has, even in early access. I have full confidence this game will keep improving
This game kinda is a mix of sims 1 and 3. It is really fun and It does take some practice to learn how to play like any new video game but it is super fun and i'm having so much fun playing this game!! I do recommend that you try it out!
For an early development release of the game, it's pretty good. I thought the card mechanic would bother me but it makes me slow down when it comes to romance. I can't wait for the game to be fully developed and start working on their DLCs! I also appreciate their addition of mods via steam, makes it easier for those who don't like scouring half the internet for mods.
Hey, Paralives i would like to tell you guys that when i play/join the game i have a LOT of lag and it sometims gets really annoying.z :(
need still time to evolve, but is pretty nice
