The paralives folk taking off the shoes doesn't take soo long either. Do I care? 'Care' is a big word isn't it? I hope Paralives does well for what it is, but I don't expect it to be big just yet. Personally I can watch someone take off their shoes all day long. That's right, you don't even have to wipe your feet.'

You'll probably get so frustrated that you just want a mod that makes them not take off their shoes. And what if they're wearing boots? That's going to take even longer. Because if you already lost patience with TS4, you probably will lose patience with someone taking off their shoes in that manner. Sure taking off the shoes shoes in Paralives looks much fancier than that weird thing in SE, but I can guarantee that 90% of the Paralives playerbase is gonna get sick to their teeth waiting for the dude to take off his sneakers every single time he walks in the door. I'm talking split levels, 'liberated' doors and windows and of course takin' off the shoes shoes in the home. What I do find interesting is that it seems to have opened up discussions not only within the Sims fan base but at EA/Maxis too. It's gonna lack, because I don't think it can offer everything that the sims games have offered so far, including TS4.

I doubt that those who are not pleased with TS4 are going to be satisfied with Paralives as a full replacement. Trying to virtually recreate every aspect of human life is not an easy feat, especially with the high (PC) demands that are currently being thrown at companies.

Unless a huge mainstream game company decides to buy it and take over development, I can't see it 'replace' The Sims franchise anytime soon.Īfter all, this is a life simulator we're talking about and it's safe to say that -if done right- it's probably one of the most if not the most complex genres out there in the game development industry. That being said, I appreciate Alex Masse's ambition and I'm very interested in the development of the game as an indie life simulator. There is a lack of uniqueness in their features and I feel that the developers still have a long way to go before they can get the aesthetics to a standard that I'm comfortable with. The Parafolk do not seem to be very expressive and for me personally that means a great deal. Other.I'm not interested in the game 'as is' because the art style simply does not appeal to me. I'll patiently wait, but if it ever comes out, I'll be looking into the gameplay of it first. The worlds themselves also seemed to be smaller than even TS4's, but this may be expanded upon. It's obvious from watching the gameplay they've released that open world is not planned for the game. It's also an indie game, which are generally known to be smaller. That being said, I will have caution in getting too enthusiastic about it since people expect this to compete with The Sims 4 and while it has put more detail into the game than TS4 has (a taking shoes off animation in the house, for example), it's still definitely got a ways to go. I think it's too early to dismiss a game in pre-alpha and I'm especially interested in getting a life simulator game that isn't associated with EA.

They've been very open with how their development is going so far and I hope it'll be a good example of a modern-day life simulator. Just last night, I was checking their progress.

YesI'm very interested in the game right now.
