SatchOnSims...

Yesterday evening till night I was watching each and every video of early access of Paralives that I could find, today I'm continuing that. That's where I found out that SatchOnSims apparently also received the free copy of EA.

I'm sorry to his fans, but, seriously? The guy complaining about "woke" stuff, "black and rainbow washing" (his words) and has a literal far-right second YouTube channel? Wow.

For me, personally, this is a big mistake on Paralives' side. I'm very happy with other people who got EA, but this one. Hopefully this is not too controversial to post and I can critique this decision freely. It's not an attack, just for me, personally, this doesn't make sense and made me lift my eyebrows.

Am I the only one who finds the interfaces messy?

It's a minor detail, but I find that the interfaces are all over the place, and the windows tend to float randomly to the left of the screen.

To compare before and after, I find it a bit strange that the menu options are stuck to the left side of the screen, while the selections (items, character modifications) are behind them.

Similarly, the randomly floating needs are very strange.

And the topic selection system where you have to click at the bottom rather than on the character you're talking to isn't very practical; you have to move to the point where they freeze the screen for a while.

For example, having the bar and dialogue bubble appear above the characters who are conversing, and when you click on them, a radial menu with small simplified icons appears, and when you hover the mouse over them, the full text appears, would perhaps be more practical.

What do you think?

I hope community won't shut down every criticism

There will be a lot of stupid hate comments everywhere (Already saw some in today's gameplay videos), but there also will be a lot of normal criticism.

Devs need, no, they NEED criticism so they could know what needs to be changed, improved, fixed and such.

Saw a bug, especially critical one? Report it to the devs and tell community about this so they could spread the word.

Saw something you dislike and you think that removing this stuff will greatly improve experience for many players, or vice versa? Tell devs about this and also community so they could spread the word.

If criticism will be silenced like it's just some hate, and if community will just go with "Nah, the game is perfect! <3", then... the game still will improve, but not greatly.

Final Days (20-21) of Trying to Get Better at Blender Before Paralives Releases

Paralives is out in 4 DAYS!!! I found some time to squeeze in a couple more models to end this challenge and made some baggy jorts and a baby tee. I'm not 100% satisfied with the textures but I'll just keep trying to improve ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. But anyway, I'm so excited to finally be able to see/test my items in game! I want to thank everyone who has tuned into my posts over these past 2 months, it's been so much fun and I really appreciated all of the motivating comments!

* Critiques and tips welcome as always

If you want to find me/my cc, I'm active on bluesky @​cosmolojay and will be posting on the steam workshop. A few people have asked for tutorials, so I may post a video or two on youtube under the same name.

Can we collectively agree on not using AI ?

Paralives is a game made by 15 people who have, as far as we can tell, handcrafted everything for the past 7 years. They have made their own assets, animated them by hand, composed and recorded their own songs...

...so we're not going to ruin it by making genAI mods, right ? We're not gonna vibe code "script mods", are we ? Surely we're not going to let an algorithm write our Together Cards and our New Paper headlines ?
Can we all vow here and now that we will make crappy Paint thumbnails for our mods, or low res screenshots, instead of using Ai for it ? Let's just do OUR best.

Together we can do this game justice with our modded content. Who's with me ?

Humble request to Reddit moderators

I love “retro” Sim games, but can’t stand that their subreddits just get overflowed with mod/troubleshooting questions- the same ones over & over again too.

Sorry if I’m overstepping any boundaries, it just really makes me sad that my mobile feed seems to only get posts about mod problems that could’ve been fixed by just entering their title in the search bar.

I would absolutely love to see everyone’s Paras, houses, stories, modded items they create, etc. Is there a way there can be a separate subreddit for troubleshooting, or an actually enforced megathread? I want to interact with the community here on Reddit!

Anyone Else Expected More? Partner Program Woes

For context, I’m a long time $upporter so allow me to vent from a place of care and concern in this safe space for the community! Okay? Thanks.

Okay, I’m going to say it! I wish they worked with a more diverse group of partners!

Everyone has that super cushy safe for work, “cozy” coworker humor. There are many creators I enjoy, but they are all nearly cookie cutter! All the creators have overlapping personalities and are impressed by 99% of everything with 0 critique. It’s unrealistic and has me looking on with confusion.

Furthermore, I was hoping to see more partnered creators that are BIPOC, specifically Black creators. Please be gentle with me here, as this the biggest sore point for me. I am a Black, mixed life simmer so this is personal to me, dolls.

There were so many fresh faces covering Paralives news too. I was so sad to go to my favorite upcoming and/or undiscovered Paralives news channels to see they have 0 early content after following the game for months. I wanted the first look from THEM! Not a bunch of EA famous creators, respectfully.

I’d also love to see creators that are more carefree and less “cozy.” Players want to see different play styles!

As much as I enjoy Paralives, I’m disappointed as a long time supporter. I’m not comfortable with the image being pushed for their collaborative efforts. How does partnering with “yes men” drive dialogue to make a better game?

Oh well, I’m hoping that the more wild, carefree, and warmly chaotic players are busy with work, kids, spring break, etc and will show us a thing or two before release day.

No knives and pitchforks please, I’m just a Paralives lover with concerns and want to have a solid dialogue about this. Im so passionate about this game, I just hope they reconsider expanding their influencers.

Thank you!!

For those that got motion sickness from the tree movement in the gameplay video or trailer the paralives team have added a toggle to turn this off :)

I wanted to share this with people that don’t know about this

Does anyone else feels like the gameplay is a bit laggy?

Maybe it's just the youtuber I watched (paralemons), but the game doesn't seem to run smoothly in live mode. I don't expect it to be perfect or anything, since it's early access, I just haven't seen anyone point it out so far.

Melino's interactive map !

We are proud to present the interactive map of Melino, complete with lots you can locate based on their type. It even uses official assets such as the map and the icons !

This map was the combined effort of several editors, but in particular Ptitutur who was able to locate several POIs before the first previews even appeared ! He has now completed his work, which as far as we can tell is complete for the Early Access version of the game that releases next week.

Make sure to visit the Paralives Wiki for more information about Melino, its citizens, and everything else :)

Will polycules be included?

I’ve been seeing lots of different videos on the topic of relationships on Paralives, and it got me thinking: will the devs get a chance to add polycules or poly romance options? Just curious is all.

A very important criticism

Stella should lift her head and wag when you are selecting her as your story teller. I'm watching a live stream rn and my experience would be 10000x better if that beautiful doggie would greet us on the train.
