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!

muss natürlich noch verbessert werden aber jetzt schon sehr gut
muito melhor que o the sims
Game is so boring even the mods suck ass
If you like building, it's pretty good, but if you're into the actual simulation aspect, well, look elsewhere for now, because there isn't much to do. Will come back to this in a couple of years.
Paralives ist toll. Es ist ein gutes Gegenstück zu Die Sims. Weiter so, es macht einfach Spaß die Paras virtuell zu begleiten.
It's still too buggy for me to play as it's still in early access.... i really want to love this game, but i can't tolerate the bugs. sorry :(
boring and the interface is not intuitive at all
I want to like this game, but I am fully not a fan of how paras interact. Having to fill a social bar to unlock chatting options is... bad. I created a household, set them up as partners, one has the goal of having a kid - and yet despite flirting and choosing the +lover options over a few weeks of paralifetime, they've still not done the deed and are nowhere near having a kid. It's bad design, imo. The build mode is great - the flexibility and design is intuitive and easy to figure out. The paramaker is also robust with lots of customization options. But the actual live mode and simulator aspect? It's lacking. A lot. There's potential and I want it to improve, but it's not in a place where I actually enjoy playing the game.
coudnt play it. was very excited but ruined my saturday. very sad. kinda want a refund
