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!

目前bug太多,除了建房以外基本没什么可玩性。期望未来能和EA真正比划几下。感觉会比izone走得更长远。
I played sims for 20 years. This game is amazing on building . For the content, it is not as rich as the Sims for the moment. I think this is the early access game, which is understandable. I think this game will be better than the sims and I wish so.
It is so much fun to play in even as an early accses. You will spend hours changing and moving every little thing to make something you'll love. The art style is amazing nad game play is a ton of fun

Paralives is amazing! You can customize any item, and place anywhere you want regardless of the grid. You can build on any angle, and can even customize wall width. Live mode needs some work, but the game is in early access still.
Bought the game and 79 minutes is all my old laptop could handle, and I don't regret it one bit, great game can't wait to get a pc for the full experience, even for early access it's more than you'd think
I love this game's build, create-a-para, and decor!! Very worth a download!
first things first. This game has the potential to be even better than The Sims once was. The two biggest advantages of the game are the Workshop and the resizable builder mod. I really enjoy hanging out in the builder mode, and it's great here. It’s a small map (I’m sure it’ll be much bigger once the game comes out of early access), but you can go wherever you want. There’s an interesting narrator system that affects the game’s difficulty. It’s really interesting and engaging. But. Now for the cons. The game is very, VERY rough around the edges . The problem I've run into every time - chairs. They never work the way they're supposed to, especially computer chairs. The game keeps telling me that I need a chair to work at the computer—even when there's already a chair there. In the final version of the game, I'd like to see more work for artists. And more items for artists, too. An easel is cool, but what about a graphics tablet? The same goes for creative professions: singers, musicians. Overall, I'd like to see more functional items for hobbies. Here's another funny thing that happened to me recently. My character can sit on the armrest (which is cool). But in the eating animation, they hold the fork the backwards. And I'd also like the characters to automatically put on clothes when they leave the house (so my character doesn't run around town in his underwear, lol) Anyway, I think you get the idea. More functional items and hobbies. Maybe add more realistic personality traits, like depression. And the ability to call a repair service while at work I definitely recommend this game, but don't expect too much while it's still in early access. If you love The Sims but are tired of EA milking you for money like a cow on a farm, then this game is for you.
Quand je lis les commentaires, j’ai l’impression d’être le seul à avoir autant de bugs. Pourtant, j’ai une excellente configuration, donc ce n’est clairement pas un problème de performances. Quelques exemples : * Je demande à mon personnage de changer la couche du bébé posé sur la plage. Il rentre jusqu’à la maison, récupère le bébé qui se téléporte directement dans sa chaise haute… * Mon personnage monte à l’étage en marchant littéralement dans le vide. * Ma sauvegarde plante régulièrement. J’ai pourtant désinstallé et réinstallé le jeu, vérifié l’intégrité des fichiers, mais les crashs continuent. Oui, c’est un accès anticipé, donc je m’attends à rencontrer quelques bugs. Quand je vois les notes et les commentaires, faut doser. Si vous achetez le jeu aujourd’hui, gardez en tête que vous payez pour un accès anticipé qui peut être très instable. Le jeu est tout de même disponible depuis deux mois… Pour l’instant c’est un avis négatif, je changerais mon avis dans le temps.
too buggy many interactions just do not work
