People seem to think that we are just now learning about Paralives and like it's a new development. We have been excited about Paralives long LONG before the Sims 4 downfall. This isn't about finding a better game, it's about getting to enjoy a game we have waited for.

@ItsAceBanana That's so funny 😂!! Roberto IS a cutie though 🥹❤️

@Worldofpetalson She's so cute!!!! She has a crush on Roberto too?! I liked another para but mine kept getting obsessed by Roberto 😂

Almost 2,5 hours into Paralives and I have to take a break now because I'm overwhelmed but in a good way 😂 Anyway, here's Barbie! Next session I want to dive deeper into build mode and hopefully do something with the secret crush she developed for Roberto 🥰

Not all households in my Forever Save are equal.. Do you think it shows? 👀

@erin_simmer Damn, another unrealistic life expectation for us humans 😂😂😂

@Worldofpetalson I had one do pushups through a wall. Talk about commitment

When and ONLY when you feel you ready, tell me about, is your experience SO FAR in #Paralives...

@erin_simmer Oh it's definitely not as bad, I'll admit that right away 😂 Just thought it was funny to see my Para do push-ups in inappropriate places as well 🤣 Starting to think that maybe we're the ones doing it wrong in real life LOL!

@Worldofpetalson 🤣 actually in my experience, the pushups are less than in 4, because I feel it more often happens with paras who have fitness as their talent and/ or are energetic

@sims4ideas Oh you ate alright!!

landscaping in paralives... is the best thing i ever did in a while

@HalloweenSims It's good, but definitely gotta get used to it in chunks 😂 But honestly I don't mind that at all! I found that it also made me excited to play with my Sims again because they are two very different games and I love that!!

@Worldofpetalson I got overwhelmed after making two paras and turned it off😂

@plumbocat Me toooo! I keep refreshing the page waiting for it to come out 🤣

@Worldofpetalson Saaaame I keep staring at steam 😇😂

Happy PARALIVES release day everyone 🥳😍

@erin_simmer I love that so much! Really makes it feel like the customization is endless and the game isn't even fully finished yet. I can only imagine what the future holds!

@Worldofpetalson not only is there a color wheel, but also loads of patterns you can choose from. I also think being able to upload photos or drawings is pretty cool

If you're playing #Paralives today, what mode will you try FIRST and why?

@erin_simmer Yesss, I am SO looking forward to that! Thought it'd be a fun way to test the build mode too by creating a Barbie Dream House 😍

@Worldofpetalson aww cool! you could really go out with the customization tools with that

@erin_simmer I was actually thinking of making Barbie as she is the perfect candidate for playing over and over in different scenarios 🤭 Like a little nod to my inner child who used to play Sims 1 just like that!

@Worldofpetalson yeah def! any idea or concepts of who you may create

Hot take but the amount of backlash/unfair hate Paralives is getting for simply existing, with people comparing it to a game that’s been running for a decade, shows exactly why EA’s been reluctant to greenlight a Sims 5 If it’s not 11/10 people won’t give up their saves atp 💀

It's official.. I don't know what to do with myself at this point 🫠

@simbuggs I have this mini shopping centre that I've only been visiting for the café so far, but it feels sooo much more alive than having "just" a café! The food trucks at the front don't hurt either 🤭 Definitely want to add some more activities to it though!

what type of lots do you guys add to make the game more enjoyable… lowk I don’t have any in my game fr

And don't forget the occasional demodogs (and cats) 😂!!

@kiwisim4 Oiiii that just sucks. But at least you have something to look forward to?

Paralives launches in 5 hours, which is 1am in NZ :( And then I have 8 hours of work tomorrow
