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!

Sims but better
I love the art style, you can love when into the designs. This game gave back the creative freedom we had in The Sims 3. The interpersonal interactions feel more organic the the Sims franchise (just my point of reference for life sims) I can't wait to see how the game develops!
I've played about 10 hours so far, and I'm really enjoying the game. One suggestion: if you plan to add mods, don't add too many during the beta. It would probably be better to wait until after the beta so the core game can be polished first
Honestly, This game is great, but I'm not into life sim's as much as I used to be, and as it's still Alpha it's not enough to suck me in as of now. I had planned to return this copy and purchase the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC but unfortunately I exceeded the refund period. I recommend Paralives, but for myself I regret my purchase
I love this game. I love the fact that there are such a thing called story tellers that really makes the game fun and not as easy to get burnt out with. It runs really good on my computer and I think that if you like simulation games and you want to get in on a early access game to grow with the game, I think this is perfect for you.
a game that actually cares about building and gameplay! really enjoying early access
Even though it is in the early stages, I would love to see where this goes! I definitely have spent more time playing this game in early access than I did The Sims 4 without DLC.
Melhor que The Sims Basegame, só falta piscina, no entanto as atualizações do jogo são todas de graça e creio que para adicionar isso também deva ser.
Still very much early access, I'd say it's probably worth waiting until the release of the game for the actual live-mode gameplay. However the para maker is fantastic (the amount of clothes can feel limiting at times but again, that'll get better throughout development and could also be fixed with mods) and build mode is a bit glitchy and unintuitive in some parts, but it's still really fun to play around with and shows much promise!
LOVE this game sm!! I adore how easy it is to add details in para maker or even in build mode. its cute, cozy and simple to navigate. I cant wait to see this game finished.
