    I am looking forward to this game when it comes out. I have seen previous videos, etc. I really like how they turned out. Maggie's loft looks amazing and nice! I have added a wishlist on Stream, but am not a Patreon yet. Can't wait to see Maggie's reveal tomorrow.

    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'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.

    I'm a patron, and I can tell you that Maggie isn't very alpha looking. She's more on the cartoony side. Stay tuned for the reveal tomorrow and judge for yourself. :)

    The game is still in pre-alpha, and they might change Parafolk appearances later to look less cartoony or even stay like this because that is their goal. We will see.

    :'( I was hoping for more realism like other games have now, with realistic parafolk and moving hair.

    I‘m a Patreon so I saw Maggie already and she looks ok but not what I expected. The loft looks all 3D and semi-realistic and the para looks 2D and like a drawing. I hope that they give her more depth but the developer said she purposely went for the 2D/drawing look so idk. It was just a screenshot though so maybe I‘ll like her better in the video that gets uploaded later.

    The eating insects part? Nasty. Despite being a completionist, I'll give this pack a hard pass. Didn't EA say we were gonna get unique packs? I'm more excited for Paralives.

    Only one more minute to Parafolk reveal. I'm so hyped.

    Height slider, hair physics, and clothing physics! Color wheel!

    Just awesome stuff. Meanwhile, The Sims 4 is busy working on dumpster diving and eating bugs.

    EA....I'm sorry but you are going to go bankrupt ahaha

    I honestly love the cell shading style that they have going on for their graphics. There's only one thing that has me worried with Paralives, and that is the interactivity of the objects and animations. It doesn't seem like that is a thing at all in this game, as the parafolk did not actually open the dresser. But it looks really good.

    True dat, but it's a very early build so there's hope. Is there any ETA for this release anyway? 2021/2022?

    No ETA yet, but judging by their Patreon and their goals, it seems like they have enough money to hire two new people soon.

    Exciting. Let's hope it gets the ball rolling even quicker. We need this. We really need a competitor to TS. As much as I love this franchise, it's time for some good old fashioned competition xD

    EAT YOUR HEART OUT EA.
    My friend is being such a hater saying it won't last and will fail.
    But of course she is a major butt kisser to TS4 and EA.

    Lol. Seriously, I'll keep the expectations low-ish til we see gameplay because that's what matters most, but I think these people are listening and aware of what people want so .. we can only hope.

    The height slider, hair physics, and little freckles on her shoulders already make this game more detailed than TS4. Hopefully the gameplay is just as solid.

    I mean, you can't put the same level of expectation that you have for TS on Paralives. They are an indie developer, and they have a very small team, but as it is, it's looking pretty 🐸🐸🐸🐸 good. They have features/tools that TS4 should have had since launch, and that is saying a lot about EA and their way of doing things.
