Paralives is the first real competitor to the long running The Sims franchise and It is taking the risks that Maxis has avoided taking.
For the ones who don’t know Paralives is developed by Alex, the sole developer behind the game aims to capture the spirit and creative aspect of The Sims. I first found out about this game when the official Paralives Twitter account had less than 100 followers, now more than 160k followers later, the game has coke a long way.
Paralives features some amazing building tools that allow players to create their dream house with what seems to be unlimited creative freedom with simple drag and drop tools.
Paralives is currently still in development, and while there aren’t too many details known yet, Alex has already shared a few more bits on the game. Putting your creativity in actual creative work is extremely fun, but the right tools are needed to really capture your vision.
The easier the tools are to use, the more fun it is to create exciting projects in a game. Paralives seems to be delivering on that front with creative building tools that go as far as your creativity can reach.
Shaping your walls, doors or even windows exactly into the size you want them to be and being able to place them wherever you want is a big step towards achieving your dream house! Take a looksie at the amazing mechanics Paralives has to offer below.

Say Hi to Maggie!

While editing the goose in Untitled Goose Game, we get a closer look at character customization in Paralives.
In a recent tweet from the developer of Paralives, Alex Masse, we got a bit of a look at how the character customization might look in the game. In the Tweet, Alex used the Goose from Untitled Goose Game as his model. This is because the Parafolks are not ready to be shown yet.

Littlefoot Goose
Through multiple Tweets, Alex shows that the body parts and facial features will be morph-able, much like the environment. Much like in The Sims 4, all the facial features and body types will be changed by manually expanding or contracting each part.
If, like me, you have been waiting for forever to find out a little bit more about the gameplay, this one is a biggy. Alex also warned that the Goose is not representative of the character style. It was just a model, and does not resemble the final look of the Parafolks.

The SIMS franchise will finally have some real competition with Paralives!
Solo developer Alex Masse has been working diligently on his beautiful and structurally amazing title, Paralives! Since our first time touching base on this upcoming epic, there have been few changes and updates that we would like to share. In our initial coverage we discovered that in Paralives, players will not only build their dream houses with tools Sim-fans could only dream of until now, but the game also features a small open world town and an engaging life simulation aspect. We at myPotatoGames are all about games that let us create our own world, and live and love as we choose in a land of our own design. In this regard, Paralives will be the next SIM game that takes us away.
What’s new in Paralives
In a recent interview with GameInformer, we learned a lot about what drives Alex, and what inspired him to create a game that just looks to put SIMS to shame. In the interview, Alex mentions “I think what life simulation games have been missing is powerful and intuitive tools that allow players to easily create any house with precision…A lot of people want to recreate themselves and their own house in the game so it’s important that everyone is able to achieve this. Paralives is also built from the start to take place in an open-world neighborhood, offering many fresh options for exploration and story making.” It is clear that with motivation like this, Paralives will be the game we always wanted the SIMS to be, but never was.
Paralives has grown much in popularity since hitting the scene not too long ago, and Alex has been doing his darnedest to keep up with the fans clamoring to know all there is to know about his game. If you want to be a part of the buzz and inspiration in making Paralives the best it can be, you should feel inclined to join the discussion on Discord! There you will find updates for the game as well as have the opportunity to add inspiration for the making of Paralives. For example, in a recent announcement on Discord, we learned that in Paralives, a person will be called a Para, and the inhabitants of the land will be called Parafolks. These names were decided through an AMA on Patreon, which is where true followers go to support this currently-being-developed project.
