At the start I was excited about paralives, but the more I see the more I think I'll stick with Sims 4. At first it looked really cartoony and I loved that but the realism in the new videos is turning me off, that and the colour wheel. I hope it is a great game for everyone that is looking for that kind of thing but at this point I'm not so interested anymore. Maybe if they have gradual aging and the people are more cartoony than the home but we'll see.
Atm i love everything they've showed. But my prefered thing in the game is the gameplay, the sims/parafolks themselves. So, until gameplay is revealed i can't tell if it's for me.
@AlpineCuriosity I am now officially excited! It will never replace my love for Sims 3 but it looks worth a try. Love the realism and the color wheel!
I’m also really looking forward to give Paralives a try! ^^ Hopefully parafolk-personalities and the gameplay itself are just as good (or even better?) than buildmode.

That will be the key. Will the gameplay be as fun and addictive as earlier versions of sims. Will the parafolk feel like little people with lives and personalities and wishes and wants of their own. I look forward to finding out.

Everything looks great so far and hopefully they’ve saved the best for last - The Parafolks themselves with mind blowing personalities above anything else ^^
Ive been following pixelade on YouTube because he uploads all the tweets of the developers answering questions (I don’t have Twitter so). They are adding a lot dynamics to this game and are hopeful to make the Parafolks personality system completely different than we have seen before. I’m definitely going to give it a try. Open world, different modes of transportation, and pets (including horses) in base game! Definitely not going to knock it before I try it!
A really interesting video (an exclusive q&a with Roxane, a lead creative designer of Paralives) made by Simmer Erin.
(About 8:50) ”I’m super excited to really get into the parafolk’s ’inner workings’: their personalities, needs, skills, relationships, etc. Such a fundamental aspect of the game deserves our best work.”
😃 This sounds so promising! These super-important areas are what will ultimately define the level of in-depth quality gameplay in my opinion.
god no the graphics are awful.the babies are not objects more work,and not to mention that they are advertising here!!
The alpha graphics were awful (duh, alpha). Now it looks stunning -- check out the "Maggie's Loft" video posted above. Graphics are fantastic and there are so many amazing details. Maggie's shadow has more personality than complete Sims. EA's probably wishing they'd tried to get TS5 developed and released a whole lot sooner. Buh-bye, EA.
I will say the graphics on this have improved significantly and I am curious to see what the parafolk look like, but I can’t help but wonder if the base game truly comes with everything they promised how much will it cost? Because it seems like they could command way more than $69.99 for everything they’re promising out of the gate.

Pure speculation, but maybe there will be different editions of Paralives at launch. I know that if The Sims games had launched with more things (pets and seasons are the biggies), I would have paid more for a "deluxe" edition. Sick of waiting years for EA to add those things -- they keep trying to re-invent the wheel every 5 years instead of giving gamers what they really want.

From then until now it's still in pre-alpha, so just imagine what it will look like in alpha and in beta. It's true that the game has seen a huge improvement since its announcement in July.
And I saw the sneak peek as a patron! She looks amazing. I'm sure people are going to love her when they reveal her tomorrow.

What I'm really looking for Paralives to do is to mess up EA and give them a little slap on the face. I'm not evil I swear, I just want EA to actually try again with The Sims.

I am also a patron, and seeing Maggie as a baseline....WOW. I am so confident that they will continue to improve her. What is being done with Paralives is revolutionary IMO.

I'm the opposite haha. I loved the alpha graphics, I am really disappointed they changed it to the style in Maggie's loft. Was hoping for a more cartoony style. I'm watching to see what the people are like tomorrow though, I wanted to like this game and at first it looked really good but def. not as interested anymore.

It would be my dream, I'm evil I know. But no sympathie considering they have been scamming and joking my wallet since 2014.
Oh. My. Gosh!! I'm so excited!!!
Thanks for posting!
~evil snicker~. One can only dream.., 😈🤪🤣
I’m now leaning towards getting this when it comes out.
They’ve been putting quite some effort into it.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
