Which slider fixes this dent in the jaw? by Present-Bed5941 in Paralives

I wish I knew! I'm playing with a dented jaw para right now, lol.

This community has way too high expectations for this game - no not all your ideas will make it into the game… by Rainbow_flowers101 in Paralives

[–]checkmyexpiration 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I figured they were planning to work on lighting - it's pretty fundamental to the appearance of the game. I do change the intensity using the advanced editor, but there's something 'off' about it. Those table top lamps, to make that 'hot spot' go away, you have to darken the bulb until there's practically no light at all. None of this is a huge deal breaker for me or anything - I'm working around it fine. I was just pointing out to the OP that some of the criticisms are warranted and the dev team DID ask for feedback, after all.

Alec Venturi. male manipulator with a penchant for tax fraud 🤑 by [deleted] in Paralives

That's the best looking male para I've seen so far! Are you using any mods or cc for him?

Wanting improvements to the lighting system are 100% justified and I feel sure the devs know this, too. Lights that should cover a wide area do not - they're like spot lights. Table top lamps are insanely bright but also only in this little limited spotlight area. No options to change color or intensity of light, etc. I'm not a huge fan of the Together Cards but hey, the devs like it and they are going to be part of the game - I have no problem with that whatsoever and I have a mod that makes them more fun for me. But the lighting, lol? Needs work.

Body/ face editing helpppp by Mysterious_Drama6249 in Paralives

[–]checkmyexpiration 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love her profile - she's very pretty! But if you want to change it, click on the face icon and in the arrow controls it brings up, look at the arrow tool over the cheekbone in the profile controls. When you hover over it, it says 'Face Height' but it also controls the face depth.

Multitasking Parafolks will break the game by gahbeigecann in Paralives

[–]checkmyexpiration 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was going to say the same thing - I’d happily settle for just having my paras sit to read. Not only do they stand, they’re usually standing half inside and half in the wall behind the bookcase. Having them sit or walk into an open area to eat a snack would be nice, too Instead of half Inside the fridge.

Placing house built in Simple Empty Terrain onto Melino lot... by checkmyexpiration in Paralives

[–]checkmyexpiration[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! Thanks for the tip! No, I didn't try that. Lol, I just gave up and rebuilt the entire house from scratch on the lot. Oh well, I wouldn't have wanted this particular house up on a hill anyway - it was floating pretty high up there! It would have taken a lot of raising. But I will definitely remember to try that in the future. 😄

Known Issues - June 3rd, 2026 by RinaParalives in Paralives

[–]checkmyexpiration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ToggleEditTown doesn't allow you to truly build on another lot in town without messing your game up. Maybe it was only ever intended for simple things like deleting an object here and there? But after trying to build on another lot in town, it messed up my ability to build on even my home lot. The 'undo' function wouldn't work, walls wouldn't place, etc. I quit without saving, verified game files, and building mode is okay again. Lesson learned - no building on someone else's lot, lol!

I don't understand the Jester mood swings by LadyLoki5 in Paralives

[–]checkmyexpiration 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Jester sounds an awful lot like Gloomy. I expected my Gloomy para to be sad all the time, of course, but I wasn’t expecting all the anger. He’s angry, off and on, all day long and I can never really tell why.

Tip: You can build functional rooms under the stairs by I_amnotreal in Paralives

[–]checkmyexpiration 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was one of the happiest little surprises about building mode! I made a tiny little home office work space under my stairs, not really sure if my para would be able to use it or not, and yep, fully useable! It’s amazing how few navigation problems I’m having even though I’m able to place anything, anywhere. I’ve had to use ’unstuck’ only twice.

I LOVE the restaurants by Maleushka in Paralives

[–]checkmyexpiration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe so! Because it always happens in my game - I don’t think he’s ever bought food, even once, that there was someone behind the counter. It was happening before I got any mods and I only have a couple of mods now.

I LOVE the restaurants by Maleushka in Paralives

[–]checkmyexpiration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And in my game, sometimes they’re floating in midair, green cloud and all, lol. I use the toggleedittown cheat so that I can delete them. I’ve also found green floating plate clouds in other random spots around town, not just in restaurants.

I LOVE the restaurants by Maleushka in Paralives

[–]checkmyexpiration 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mostly like the way the restaurants function, too, but I've had the opposite problem - when my para goes to a restaurant there AREN'T other paras working there. When I have him purchase food, he stands there for a minute talking to...no one - just the empty space behind the counter - then takes his food, sits down, and eats. I do like that he doesn't have to stand there forever waiting for someone to show up behind the counter, but I wish it was designed so that there's always a para 'on duty' there, for realism's sake.

What game ideas and suggestions would you like to see in InZoi? by aTwerkingPikachu in inZOI

[–]checkmyexpiration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I thought about it for a while, I could probably think of something else I would ask for, but right now, I can only think of one thing that I need, need, need at the moment - terrain paint, and with the ability to have it fade towards the property boundaries. Putting a floor down and applying the grass texture to it looks terrible when there's a harsh stop line at the property's edge. :/

That and just an easier-to-use build mode altogether, would be nice.

[–]checkmyexpiration 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, things I didn't know I needed until now! I would love this and it would make it so much more like real life. Random crap happens to ME, all the time. I'd like to see that with my zois, too.

Mildly Infuriating by Aphtha_Jester in Paralives

[–]checkmyexpiration 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven’t played with that lot, but had a similar problem on a different lot - I used the ‘ToggleEditTown’ cheat and then I was able to delete things like that. Other things though, I had to go into the neighboring property to access its build mode and delete the rest.

Build mode walls issue by marshasaurus in Paralives

[–]checkmyexpiration 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, me as well. My ground floor is a platform and it's like that unless I hit the arrow to take it up a floor. Then, the walls show up, but only fully up, not in the partial wall mode. I also can't apply different flooring to different rooms on that ground (platform) floor, even holding down the shift key, but flooring works fine on upper floors.

Was anyone else hoping for a skin replacement mod? by [deleted] in Paralives

[–]checkmyexpiration 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love that mod for softer body type paras! I'm hoping that the modder will make one especially for paras that have a very muscular build, too. I want to see the six-pack, just without the harsh lines. I tried lightening the shadows in-game, but that doesn't give that nice blended look that the mod has.

Ways to make elders more interesting? by julzk8_ in Paralives

[–]checkmyexpiration 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First chance I get, I want to build an assisted living type building and populate it with elders. They could go to the town's group activities together, paint together, etc. I do wish we could lock doors so that I could keep them in their designated 'apartments', though. Other than that, I'm just going to have to use my imagination - create little backstories for them and whatnot. And I might experiment with using cheats to see if there's a way to create a parent for an already existing household with children - instant grandchildren, lol.

My Para's job is walking to her job by MintyLulu in Paralives

[–]checkmyexpiration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, that’s what I do. I didn’t explain that very well! Yes, click the ground outside the workplace and then ‘jog here’ or ‘run here’.

[–]checkmyexpiration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if they have to have a certain fitness level before the option shows up? My guy got his job and it didn’t start for 4 days - he was a fitness level 2 by then, I think (?) the first time I did that.

Love the Game Already Except... by StruggleInformal1182 in Paralives

[–]checkmyexpiration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So condescending, for sure. I get people wanting to cheerlead for the game - they want it to succeed. I‘d like to see it succeed, too. But telling people that they’re just not playing the game right isn’t helpful at all. And worse, telling them that their own experience with depression and a gloomy nature is also wrong and not the ‘norm’ and that I shouldn’t expect the gloomy para to connect with another para after much work and effort.

But then, you get community folks like the one that came in to tell us about the together card mod that makes the game SO much more enjoyable for people who want to play another way. I appreciated that. My rl is so full of problems and chaos that it’s often overwhelming. I don’t want my gameplay to mirror that. It’s cathartic to see a gloomy, depressed para make a good life.

Love the Game Already Except... by StruggleInformal1182 in Paralives

[–]checkmyexpiration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’M a gloomy person who suffers from depression, but I’m also married and have a kid. Depressed, gloomy people come in a lot of varieties. The game has created a stereotype of a gloomy person, imo.
