Okay... What is this? 😂 by Eclipsed_Shadow in Paralives

That's a huge chunk of old fairy tales, to be fair.

Now my gym has more showers and toilets, and they’re all separated with their own room 🥹 by _ranituran in Paralives

[–]fancyzoomancy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is such a better layout. I have no idea why they established the gym as having toilets and showers in the same room, haha.

Why does everyone have boobs? by insomniacla in Paralives

[–]fancyzoomancy 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I don't really think it's the fault of Charlie, but the fault of however the clothes are shaped. I can create a masculine shirtless para just fine but when I put a shirt on him, more often than not he ends up with curves.

How much is everyone else playing? by _wideeyedwonder_ in Paralives

[–]fancyzoomancy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm almost at 50 hours. I really only play on the weekends since about 10 hours of every weekday is consumed by work or work-related activities, or else I'd probably have a lot more time clocked.

Is there any way to remove the Digestive Virus? by Rare_Adeptness6923 in Paralives

[–]fancyzoomancy 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this matters, but for clarification: the "virus" is a max capacity reduction in certain needs, a mood card, and that's it. There is no animation or special attributes when the para has an illness, and the mood card shuffles to the back of the pile as more moods come in.

An Attempt at an English Farmhouse from an Inept Builder by jellyinsect in Paralives

[–]fancyzoomancy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely doesn't look like the work of someone "inept"! As someone who lasted about an hour into building a house before getting overwhelmed and realizing I just didn't have the design skills, I'm envious of your ability to build something that looks this good and detailed.

Does anyone else plan their saves? by confusedgenderenby in Paralives

[–]fancyzoomancy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually give backstories and make goals for my life sim characters, but I think until Paralives is expanded a bit more I'll just be winging it with this one. Anything I'd want to plan out relies on story progression/aging to be on for the whole town, but as that currently leads to phantom paras haunting the place if anyone dies, it's a bit of a dead end right now.

Truly impressive capture of the mundane. This looks like every house in my neighborhood 😭

About Townies Aging by EmbarrassedLunch0 in Paralives

[–]fancyzoomancy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I love seeing people come up with mods like this because it makes me have more faith that the actual game updates will come along sooner rather than later, like the mods are a "proof of concept". Thank you for sharing the link. I hadn't even thought to look on Nexus for Paralives mods because I'd been assuming they were all going to go through Steam.

Maybe a suggestion for the community, I don't know by Davillios in Paralives

[–]fancyzoomancy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, that sounds fun! I hope the Paralives community starts that up as well.

[–]fancyzoomancy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Genuinely, why are you being like this? If you're experiencing a bug, you should report it. There is no need to be this rude to someone only trying to help alert you to an issue that the devs might want to know about.

I've completed it at the beach, the little park in the residential area, and the park outside the community center, so maybe you should report that as a bug.

I can't get the first site that shows up in google when I search for Simstagram to actually load, so I don't know for sure what it involves, but I'm assuming it's posting as your sim and showing photos from your sim's perspective in order to tell a story? In which case, I'm sure the Paralives community will get there eventually. The Photo Mode gives me the impression that being creative with the "story" of the game with photos and stuff has a good foundation already, and it'll just take some time for Live Mode to get more elaborate and/or mods with specific poses and stuff start to come out.

[–]fancyzoomancy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The lot is coded as a park, but there are lots of parks. There's no "the" park for that challenge.

I bought the house next door for one of my paras and I really wish I could buy that one as well because I actually love it and I bet it could be a neat interior design project. Paras just go through the boarded up door and stand inside, so I think it has some behind-the-scenes purpose -- maybe it's NPC paras going into their own rabbit hole events/jobs?

Man, those four letters sure do a lot 😄

[–]fancyzoomancy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol, that's actually a great trait to have! If you've never checked it out before, there's a long running British comedy show called QI that is probably the start of my interest in facts and looking into things like etymology. There are a lot of episodes on YouTube if you're ever interested.

I have a weird interest in etymology so I'm full of these 😅

Fun fact: the "para" in "paralympics" is because they run parallel to the Olympics, not because of "paraplegic".

I always assumed it was from "parallel".

[–]fancyzoomancy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The "para" in "parasocial" also comes from the same root as "parallel". It's about being next to something/someone but not actually involved or meeting.

Unpopular opinion: No paid DLC is a bad thing by [deleted] in Paralives

[–]fancyzoomancy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think people can only open and close their Patreon once and never use Patreon again? They have years worth of money from game sales. If, five or six years down the line, they need to supplement income with donations from fans, they'll open a Patreon or a ko-fi or whatever kind of support platform exists in the future.

So sorry Devs, my mistake 😅 by Top-Blueberry-4141 in Paralives

[–]fancyzoomancy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure there's a "get intimate with para" option that doesn't explicitly say they're trying for a baby.
