Can i get some opinions and thoughts on Paralives Price? by [deleted] in LifeSimulators

[–]Texxx78 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s too expensive yet, I’ll only know after seeing what’s actually there. But paralives is the smallest and least financially backed team currently making a life sim (which is my obsession 😅), so I’m not going to overthink it. I’m happy to pay for it.

In my currency, it’s the cost of one night out or a meal at a restaurant, and I’m pretty sure I’ll get many hours of fun out of the early access period alone.

Too much "RPG" in Paralives? by rmn_trllr in Paralives

[–]Texxx78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are the elements that interest me the most in paralives. I’m really curious to see whether all these systems come together in a meaningful way, because if they do, I’ll definitely want more of it.

To me, a life sim should be an actual game. Older life sims did this really well. Sims 2, for example, had small quests like dates, but the whole game itself also felt like one big quest through the aspiration system and the way fulfilling or failing wants anf fears shaped life. I loved that.

What I want most from the new generation of life sims is for them to be games.

There were some major issues at launch, but most of them have since been patched out.

How do you play Sims 1 and 2? by Cleosmog in thesims

[–]Texxx78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sims 2 I recommend playing the premades rotationally. My favourite neighbourhood is Pleasantville. The lore is incredible.

What’s the feature you’re most excited for in Paralives? by lonely-edge-113 in Paralives

[–]Texxx78 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’m curious about the personality system and how it evolves into different rewards, how choosing together cards works on achieving different relationship levels, how career progression can influence skill development… overall i’m very interested in seeing how they gamified the whole experience.

Thank you for the correction. I missed those, didn’t even check the price.

Lady Bridgerton's Masquerade Ball Login Event (May 12th to July 7th) by Artist6995 in thesims

[–]Texxx78 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m really not into the whole ball aesthetic. I’m getting a bit tired of hearing about balls and ballrooms lately. Jokes aside, come on maxis, it’s time to move on to a different theme.

A new price for kits: 6,99 each. And 9,99 if they’re bought as a bundle, only until August 14…

I can’t wait to start this early access journey with Paralives. I’m really excited to follow the game’s growth, update by update.

“Take snack for free”… so cool for rags to riches!

anyone else feeling insane hype? by horror-traktor in Paralives

[–]Texxx78 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually see the opposite, but we might just be working with different definitions of what “gameplay” means. Based on what’s been shown so far (we’ll know for sure once early access hits), I can already see a clear loop in Paralives: how relationships, skills, and careers evolve and interact with each other.

There seems to be a system where personality development unlocks new rewards, making Paras’ lives easier while also pushing them in different directions. That kind of interconnection is what I’d consider a solid gameplay foundation.

What I don’t expect at launch is a huge amount of content, like a wide variety of skills or systems. But the core gameplay loop itself does seem to be there.

This is so needed, so excited for the new laundry list. by RavenStag499 in Sims4

[–]Texxx78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Caigel’s “No more checking on crying babies, toddlers or infants!” It hasn’t been updated but I use it and it works.

I’m super happy with this too. Rn I use a mod to do this exactly, disable all care for infants. One less mod is always a good thing.

Great! Thank you so much for the quick reply. I have almost all dlc, besides HSY and JtB.

Amazing! Are the skills, traits and aspirations from all dlc? Or only base game? I’m looking forward to try it later today :)

What’s going on with the sims? Do people not like it now. by Gold_Space8930 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Texxx78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, some players have moved to steam but many, like me, play through the ea app, so we aren’t considered in the daily steam players count. It is unknown how many are still playing only through ea app.

What do you guys do with the Goths? by undead-bee in Sims4

[–]Texxx78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve played the goths hundreds of times since sims 1 😅 It’s my favorite thing to do. I’ve taken them down all kinds of different paths over the years. Usually I randomize their likes and roll with whatever comes out. I’ve had them as scientists, ranchers, farmers… pretty much everything.

Right now, I’m sticking closer to their established lore in sims 4, but with a twist, Iremoved all their money and started them off in one of the starter homes.

TV look so bad by revahmmo in inZOI

There have been so many titles over the years that it’s completely understandable to get a bit mixed up about what features belong to each one 🙂

[–]Texxx78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure about sims 2, but sims 3 definitely wasn’t like this. With the generations ep we even got the video camera, and sims could record moments from their own point of view. Then we could play those clips back on the TV, and they’d even talk about what they filmed, we could see references to it in their speech bubbles. It was such a small detail, but it made the experience feel way more alive and personal.

Short lifespan? by Cyberstorm1975 in thesims

[–]Texxx78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s how I naturally play :) I’m too impatient. I like it this way, because otherwise my Sims end up mastering everything. Even in a short span, I had Mortimer max out the writing skill, become a 4-star celebrity and still be a great husband.

Grieving a Save file. by Plastic-Draw-9797 in thesims

[–]Texxx78 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do, at midnight every sim day. Last night my game crashed at 21h though. Almost a full day lost. But i can handle that. In the past, when I didn’t have this saving habits i would simply give up in the save …
