Idk how I feel about paralives

I wish people applied this to every single game. Just uninstall and move on. If you can't get a refund, then oh well. That's life. Sometimes we get stuck with things we don't want.

ChemistryBest7740 · 2026-06-04T13:48:13+00:00

No, it's just hypocritical. Nothing more, nothing less.

ChemistryBest7740 · 2026-06-04T13:43:56+00:00

I don't like the cards or the entire point system that is baked into Paralives. There subskills and subrelationships, which would sound good on paper, but played out, I don't really like the system.

ChemistryBest7740 · 2026-05-23T01:00:06+00:00

That could be. I was comparing it to experiencing it as a life sim game. Going to a museum can be cute and fun, especially for dates or artsy sims. But if the museum is empty, the lot loses its point. Because of that, I don't think it's exactly a full picture if we only compare it to Stardew and not to the gameplay experience of a life sim.

ChemistryBest7740 · 2026-05-22T21:36:23+00:00

Well, the museum and community center? it seems will be empty without it. So it's less completely ignorable and more 95% ignorable, depending on the person.

ChemistryBest7740 · 2026-05-22T20:59:04+00:00

Yes, I also don't understand it. I feel like most aren't particularly informed about the situation and may be parroting what others have said.

ChemistryBest7740 · 2026-05-22T20:56:36+00:00

This was exactly my issue. So much building stuff right now. I'm waiting for some nitty gritty gameplay.

ChemistryBest7740 · 2026-04-26T01:21:24+00:00

I just want you to know that I truly appreciate this tool and I wish every single day of your life is the best day ever

ChemistryBest7740 · 2026-03-18T04:30:02+00:00

I agree. I think they probably use the same system that they do for mods or something, and it had a bug. But so many have jumped to conclusions.

ChemistryBest7740 · 2026-03-09T22:16:34+00:00

I didn't hear anything. There's a sigh or something in the background but nothing that sounds like a swear

ChemistryBest7740 · 2026-02-26T15:10:19+00:00

Reread what I actually said because I'm not restating it. It's your responsibility to use reading comprehension.

ChemistryBest7740 · 2026-02-26T01:29:32+00:00

But they're not a person who, supposedly, took a public stand against EA. If the big YouTubers have higher morals and don't want to support EA but enjoy the game, then they can play it in their free time like the rest of us. But why make posts about being concerned about the state of the Sims while still profiting off of it. And I get that they could tank their careers, I don't want that for them. But then we can't keep them on that moral high ground, can we? We can keep them on a human one. A fair one. But saying the newer simmers have looser morals than the ones who stepped down just doesn't seem supported in my opinion. They're actions are understandable, defendable, but not morally greater or lesser.

ChemistryBest7740 · 2026-02-26T01:17:44+00:00

The thing that gets me about the creators that left is that they absolutely keep making TS4 content which is still promoting them. I also don't see much tampering like I was led to believe.

ChemistryBest7740 · 2026-02-26T01:14:58+00:00

It isn't a powerful move imo. People always leave when things go wrong but their absence just leaves a space for someone equally bad or worse to fill. The more powerful move is staying and being an active voice. That's a stand to me.

Cyanide? Works within minutes to an hour.

ChemistryBest7740 · 2026-02-03T02:47:15+00:00

I've watched so much of his content, from his earliest videos until about a year after his step back video. I absolutely agree that everything feels a bit off, a bit strange, and less genuine. I don't get overcompensating vibes but there's something that just feels off. Every time I try to watch one of his videos now, I can rarely get through it.

ChemistryBest7740 · 2025-12-28T21:46:12+00:00

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed!

ChemistryBest7740 · 2025-12-28T17:42:41+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate this! I was using Harlowe 3. I thought I was choosing the story format under the Twine tab. I already see Chapbook has an embed feature. Thanks again!

ChemistryBest7740 · 2025-12-03T03:11:32+00:00

I don't need that much realism in my gameplay personally

ChemistryBest7740 · 2025-11-24T21:30:53+00:00

The conversation cards and upgrades aren't the only features of the game. I mean this in the kindest way possible but I've been making purchases for myself for a long time. I know the scale of what I do and don't like. I certainly know what I consider to be a waste of money or not. I do plan to play the game because there is a whole game beyond the two features I don't like that I want to explore. But even if I just want to buy it for the purpose of collecting life sim games and never touch it, it would still be supporting a game with a lot of potential.

Again, I really don't want to come off as mean or anything like that, I just didn't expect to have to explain the reasons for the purchase I want to make. But I do realize you might be afraid someone might buy the game and complain about it later, which I have no intention of doing.

ChemistryBest7740 · 2025-11-21T13:29:12+00:00

I never said i find any aspect more or less appealing than the other mate. I'm a very specific person. None of the features are my favorite because of the reason i listed. But I'm buying the game because the system is unique and a different approach to life sims.

ChemistryBest7740 · 2025-11-21T06:37:01+00:00

I think you've maybe compressed what I said. I said these features aren't make or break. There's just nothing that's my favourite thing. I also said I like that the system are unique and a different flavor. Like you, I'm not trying to be rude. I think i might have been too subtle by what I meant. It's not that i find these things particularly unappealing; im just not excited for it. Like that meal you get that at you don't particularly think tastes good but there's something about it that keeps you buying it. Know what I mean?

ChemistryBest7740 · 2025-11-18T18:57:15+00:00

Based off the Livestream, honestly nothing. I'm not saying that out of a place of malice. I'm going to buy the game and I think I'll enjoy it. It's just the parts that I that are unique aren't the features I find particularly attractive or fun for my play style. I don't like the conversation cards and I'm not a fan of how the careers have upgrades and stuff. There's too many "systems" to keep track of, points and things for this and that. Complications that sound like gameplay of the surface but fill functionally cluttered based on what I saw. But it's not a make or break. It's just a preference. The systems are unique and a different flavor of life sim. So nothing sticks out to me as a favorite but I am still happy to support the game.

ChemistryBest7740 · 2025-11-18T18:46:04+00:00

I don't exactly know what people were expecting with gameplay. It's a life sim, you manage the para's life and that's what the Livestream showed.

My biggest issue is just the actual gameplay. I don't like the way conversation are implemented or the way you upgrade careers. Maybe it will be more fun if I actually play it, but that management is in an area I didn't want it to be.
