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!

Awesome game! Cannot wait to see where it goes from here.
cozy and fun
mogs sims 4
Highly glitchy and extremely slow load times, but that is to be expected in early access. Much of these issues I suspect are due to mods (and the fact that I am on a laptop), but with how little decorative content is in the base game, mods feel like a requirement. In general, this game feels like it lacks the content for it's price, but the foundations it lays are incredibly fun and I have high hopes for the full release. I highly recommend keeping this game on your radar, and if you have the money to support indie devs it's worth giving it a shot, but if you are on a tight budget it may be better to wait for the full release to see if some of the above issues gets fixed.

AMAZING - literally fixes everything wrong with the SIMS
it is really fun and has great story lines. the game has lots of character. so excited to see it develop. buffers sometimes but it is still in development (nothing compared to sims 3 buffering)
