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!

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.
Totally worth it. Has a lot of potential. Honestly aren't we all sick of EA squeezing every last penny out of their players? I really enjoy building mode and how interactions between paras are more dynamic and natural in comparison to sims. I hope more people try it for themselves so the modder community will grow as well. Also works great on Linux (Mint Chinnamon), if anyone has been wondering about that.
I love building the characters
I like the art style very much, even though most of the players don't. For an early access the game gives so much and I can't wait to experience it at it's potential!
In Beta its better than Sims with all expansion packs, goated game
Great game. Better than sims.
The building freedom in this game is the best experience, even in early access, that I've had in any game.
amazing life sim game with a lot of potential. the art style is so cute and cozy, and the architecture around the main town feels like a lot of love went into it. the game is missing a few mechanics that i feel should be in, but the team is working on them. The general interaction mechanics between your characters is really unique, and allows for better pacing than games like the Sims. you actually have to make the effort to meet people and become friends with them rather than spam the same 5 dialogue options until you can marry someone. the building portion of the sim is also really amazing. the customization and freedom of placement are superb. there is a slight lack of variety in some decor, but that can be solved easily with mods, or presumably by the devs in future. Super excited to see where the game goes !
I haven't touched the Sims once since I started playing. The build mod is so good already!
Feito por pessoas que realmente gostam do gênero. O jogo para acesso antecipado está bem completo e permite que possamos gastar muitas horas no jogo.
