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!

PLEASE NOTE, this game is still in early access. They are trying their best to fix the bugs. There are a lot of crashes right now but they are working on this. It is still a lot of fun. Definitely need more outfits and I can't wait for things that are still just objects to be free to actually use. The graphics are great and the music is so cute.
So much love went into creating this game. It solves so many problems that I had with sims. But the gameplay is (for now) a little bit emty. i need more drama, interactions and tasks (without collecting and donating stuff) Love it
10/10 game amazingly developed for early access, a great alternative to the sims 4, it brings so much to the base game. The customisation is so fantastic you can change objects in build mode so quickly without fuss. My new favourite game I couldn't recommend it more for anyone who loves the sims and any building games. The gameplay has a range of features which varies per character its very cool.
honestly sooo good for an early access game! so many cool features, and the art style is so pretty! i cant wait for what else is to come <3 you can tell theres love put into this game!
esta super chulo
polecam tak poprostu.
The game is fun, interesting. It took some getting used to the "chance" for different interactions, I'm used to the sims where things tend to just go how I want them to. The people do glitch through the ground often, you can't put leftover food in the refrigerator. It takes 3 hours to make most of the food options, and Music class is glitched out for me. Overall, a good game, especially since the devs are working so diligently to patch up reported problems. Boot up was pretty slow at first, I had to go in to Steam and alter some settings to get the game to boot up: to be clear I have Windows 11, with only 8gb RAM.
I like the paramaker, a lot of options and they are ery customizeable. I'm more of a building person than gameplay but I love the building with almost no restrictions and I even like the gamyplay very very much.
fun
I love this game and the fact that we can report bugs and something actually get done about it . also i love the way the characters look and the character creation page is so much more in depth. for me in the sims i didnt even know that you could edit certain things until years later. so im glad it has all the edit options there and im not just left to figure it out on my own.
