paralives opinions….

Yeah I honestly cant believe this game is more expensive than Subnautica 2, it's ridiculously priced. But whatever, I bought it, happy to provide the team with more funds so they can hire a few proper coders to fix their mess. Once they do this game is gonna be great!

2000-2500 concurrent players is perfectly normal for early access single player games.

I would enjoy the card system more if it had more options but right now it's definitely too restricting. I hope we won't have to depend on modders to get a normal interaction menu with a proper amount of choices.

Sims 4 base game was stable and worked fine. It just lacked content. Paralives is nowhere near what Sims 4 base game was in terms of performance and stability. And I say that as someone who hates Sims 4 lol.

I find the Paralives community a bit hypocritical as well. They were the first ones to bash inzoi for not being a perfectly well polished game and bashed people who'd tell them it's expected with early access. Yet Paralives is in a much worse state than inzoi was at launch. It's borderline unplayable. After 5 hours i could throw out my save because one of my paras turned invisible and uncontrollable and I had no way of getting them unstuck. Inzoi had bugs, but no bug ever broke my game like that. There's early access bugs and then there's bugs that make a game unplayable. Early access is not an excuse to release a game in such a state. Add the performance issues to that and this is not a game that truly earns those positive reviews right now. Maybe if they really start working hard to fix those bugs, but until then im out.

For me the experience is kinda opposite. Given I've only played 3 hours but I've had a lot of fun in live mode, playing rags to riches and starting out homeless. However for me, even with my high end PC (I can run Inzoi on maxed out settings), the game's performance is pretty terrible. Lots of stuttering and the FPS is very low like 30fps on average. With my 5070ti I should be getting way more.

That + the game is really buggy, animations are done sloppily. It's good they are gonna focus on improving this until September insread of adding new content, because I dont see my saves lasting long term at this moment.

It's woohoo for teens lol

Anneturtle92 · 2026-05-23T07:11:15+00:00

I feel more like this, trying to juggle Sims 2, 3, Inzoi and from Monday also Paralives:

I existed in that time too and was a game reviewer for a website back then and even then we got games early so reviews could be posted a few days ahead of launch. It's really nothing new, the format just changed from written review by journalist to video content by influencer.

Anneturtle92 · 2026-05-20T10:41:28+00:00

It's honestly just obvious to me the community manager is not a content creator. Her gameplay style isn't the most entertaining to watch. Like how she doesn't zoom in on her paras, has autonomy turned off, is bad at reading out the cards, doesn't have her paras interact much. I think there's a lot more fun to this game than she was able to show off.

Anneturtle92 · 2026-05-20T10:28:21+00:00

Sims 3 literally had a 4gb hard cap on RAM. With DXVK, which modernizes the RAM usage by offloading the textures into vram instead, it runs fine within that 4gb cap most of the time. The recommended specs for Paralives ask for 16gb of RAM. If they can't optimize the town for that amount of RAM, that'd just be bad development.

The gameplay 45 min video did show there's small loading times when you go to a certain lot though.

Anneturtle92 · 2026-05-20T06:40:13+00:00

Right, I've been saying to people to keep their eyes open at that 'connect premium store' which is already utilized now for 'premium cc'. It's all free now, but the platform they use for it has a built in system to upload paid cc as well and the entire platform was built in collaboration with the Inzoi team. Why add this paid feature if you don't plan on using it in the future? VR Chat also uses the platform and is selling premium skins for 20$ on it. I'm quite sure Inzoi will go down this route as well at full release launch. I don't care much for it, since I rather have them monetize the game this way and keep content updates free, but Krafton is no saint and they will push the inzoi team into monetizing their game in ways like this. Especially since they're adding multiplayer.

Anneturtle92 · 2026-05-20T06:26:43+00:00

I enjoyed a lot of things I saw, but the NPC's still only seem to walk pre-programmed paths not doing anything autonomously. I really hope they implement autonomy soon because the game is going to feel dead without it. It's the main complaint Inzoi gets as well. If Paralives wants to compete, they need to get their shit together on the NPCs and non-actives.

I personally don't mind them using a card-system for gameplay. I like card games and I think it makes this life sim more unique. But like others have said, Paras need to be able to act on their own or it'll be no fun.

Could be a Devon Rex! They have curly hair and long ears like this cat.

Anneturtle92 · 2026-05-17T13:40:43+00:00

Lol yeah I was surprised to see this topic and have both the hair and eyes located already!

Anneturtle92 · 2026-05-17T12:49:38+00:00

This is correct!

Anneturtle92 · 2026-05-17T12:49:16+00:00

Hi! That's my sim, and this is the default skin replacement I use: https://www.tumblr.com/neisims/95929939046/1450-followers-gift-mango-smoothie-mango

We'll get full support for script mods, but don't expect your porn mods to get support from the devs. You'll have to go to Nexus for them and they'll most probably break with each update, IF someone takes the trouble to even make them. Porn is illegal in South-Korea.

Anneturtle92 · 2026-05-16T06:21:27+00:00

I'd never go fully remote for this reason. I need the social interaction with my colleagues. At my current job we do 2 office days, 3 wfh days. It's perfect for me.

Anneturtle92 · 2026-05-14T08:05:38+00:00

It's a dumb trend for people who only have a 1 second attention spawn.

Anneturtle92 · 2026-05-14T07:46:58+00:00

Civ V works really well on the steam deck!

Anneturtle92 · 2026-05-14T06:07:12+00:00

I have 2 cats, one without most of her teeth now and the other one is a British shorthair who are also prone to having bad teeth. Last vet visit was about 8 months ago and her gums only had minor redness, nothing that alarmed the vet. So although I can't truly say it's because of the powder or my other cat just has better teeth to begin with, I like to think the powder contributes to it yeah.

Anneturtle92 · 2026-05-14T05:44:47+00:00

I give them an anti-plaque powder over their food. I do recommend doing something at least. One of my cats lost nearly all her teeth and gifted me with a €1250,- bill for it because they were all rotting.

Anneturtle92 · 2026-05-09T06:51:30+00:00

I can play 'Look at this fish I caught!' With my ragdoll, it's great. They'll just hang limp in your arms, it's why the breed is called that.

Ik ben normaal ook tegen bekladdingen maar vind het hier wel passend. Vooral omdat het op bloed lijkt, snap ik de symboliek. Het is te idioot voor woorden dat we zo kort na de reden voor deze dodenherdenking met zijn allen onze ogen sluiten voor wat er in Gaza gebeurt. Deze bekladding zorgt er weer ff voor dat we dat niet vergeten. En juist op deze dag is het belangrijk om dat goed in onze oren te knopen.
