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!

What every simmer probably wished for at some point in time. Delivered by a small passionate team. Don't buy it yet if you are expecting a polished experience, support the devs if you don't mind watching the game grow along the way.
it takes me a while to figure out the graphic settings that fit my laptop but i assure you that you dont have to put everything to the lowest setting for it to work at all
love it cant wait for the finished game
Caramente al ser un acceso anticipado tiene muchas cosas que se pueden mejorar, pero ME ENCANTA. El estilo gráfico, los diseños, la jugabilidad, los trabajos, está genial! :3
its cute and fun and will only get better with time
Can't run on a Macbook I usually play The Sims 4 and although glitchy and laggy with some adjustment in settings its fun and easy to play! I CANNOT say the same for this game :( it took legit 1min for clicks to register and the video settings being adjusted barley helped... ALSO THE CAMERA CONTROLS UGHHH EITHER THE SENSITIVITY IS TOO LOW OR HIGH ! and AGAIN IT DOESN"T REGISTER SO OFTEN TIMES PANNING THE CAMERA TO AN EXACT SPOT ISN'T POSSIBLE... I KNOW MY OLD ASS MAC HAS BAD STATS BUT I CAN STILL PLAY MOST GAMES WITHOUT ISSUES ON LOW GRAPHICS. If you have a good computer this game is good but if you have an older system this game will not run properly
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.
The game is fun, interesting. It took some getting used to the "chance" for different interactions, I'm used to the sims where things tend to just go how I want them to. The people do glitch through the ground often, you can't put leftover food in the refrigerator. It takes 3 hours to make most of the food options, and Music class is glitched out for me. Overall, a good game, especially since the devs are working so diligently to patch up reported problems. Boot up was pretty slow at first, I had to go in to Steam and alter some settings to get the game to boot up: to be clear I have Windows 11, with only 8gb RAM.
As someone who has never played life sim games before (except the sims for 1 hour, but I didn't really enjoy it) I've found paralives to be pretty good. It's definitely not perfect but its still fun and I'm enjoying playing more than I expected. Live mode is alright, it definitely could use some work and sometimes playing it feels less fun and more like a time sink, but it's not as bad as some people are making it out to be. Personally I'm having the most fun in creating new households, progressing their careers and relationships in live mode and then creating my own stories for them through the build mode. Build mode is pretty incredible, theres so much room for customisation and personality and it's definitely the highlight of the game. For an early access game I don't wanna complain about bugginess, although I will say it doesn't run as well as I would expect for the style of game and with the specs I have. Overall, pretty good, not incredible but for an early access game its still pretty fun and you can get a lot of playtime from it.
hello, very good gayme but my character bicurious bill died while the game was loading and the baby
