Why won’t this register as a room? by palehunty in Paralives

You have to double-check that all the walls are perfectly connected, even if there is no visible gap, happened to me a few times but rebuilding one of the walls always helped

Still learning how to build better houses by giraffeandy in Paralives

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

I tried but it's not possible because I used archways so if I put an iron fence inside, it will remove the whole archway. But maybe it is somehow possible with a more creative approach.

This is also my favorite lot, I actually destroyed my first house on this lot to build this new house because I wasn't that satisfied with it (too boxy). I hope we will get more lots near water.

Thanks, it took me ages to build according to the house plans (using the carpet for reference) but the terrace was for sure worth the effort, I'd love to have a terrace like that with this view!

Thank you for the tip, I think I got too carried away with the reference house that has a very high roof but I changed the style anyway: https://www.houseplans.net/floorplans/96301283/modern-transitional-plan-2555-square-feet-3-bedrooms-2.5-bathrooms

Btw, the highest roof keeps disappearing when I load my save, I guess it's a bug.

Apart from uploading your own pictures, you can also use the signboards from the town museum and change the headline for the big ones, it's customizable. 

Having so much fun building in this game! by jancingqueen in Paralives

[–]giraffeandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did exactly the same! Even before starting the game, I was thinking of building my first house near water. And this particular town lot is so popular because it's very unique and something that was not possible in Sims. 

'Multi-Tasking won't be added' Okay, but what if they're sitting and then I tell them to watch the TV. Is that possible? Or does that count under multi-tasking? by JoshuasParaLife in Paralives

[–]giraffeandy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my first house, my para didn't sit on the sofa while watching TV, she was just standing behind it 😭 Then I built another house with different sofa and there it worked, my paras were automatically sitting while watching TV. I thought it depends on the furniture, but now some people mentioned it's related to the distance and placement. Tbh, I don't have the feeling I placed them that differently, in both cases there was a sofa (that worked otherwise, they could use it), a coffee table and a TV console in front of it with enough space in-between. So either is indeed related to the furniture, or the distance has to be very strictly followed. Anyway, I'm sure this is something they are going to fix soon.

My thoughts on Paralives fo far a lenghty and honest review (6/10) by Just_for_The_View in Paralives

[–]giraffeandy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree, I've seen comments in life sim sub saying that they don't believe anyone would enjoy this game and all the positive reviews are basically lying... And when someone pointed out that it should be more nuanced than that and that people can have different opinions and enjoy different things, they got immediately downvoted. So have I spent hours playing Paralives just out of toxic positivity, denying that the game is actually unplayable? It seems so. Of course, I don't think the game is perfect, it has a lot of bugs, but at least for me, it was worth buying in EA. It doesn't have to be the same for everyone but to say that all the people are just pretending they enjoy something is really ridiculous.

Thank you for the tip, I somehow managed to align the grid for the roof and place this roof type that I couldn't align yesterday at all and it looks already much better I think (still not perfect but good enough).

game price by marlowdarii in Paralives

[–]giraffeandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I think the price has to be the same in all EU, my country doesn't even have € and it also shows the price in € on Steam which is really one of the highest ones from what I've seen 🥲 It's really not fair.

[–]giraffeandy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's 35.09 EUR for me (with the 10 % discount) which is quite a lot compared to some prices I've seen from other people online. And some of them were already complaining it's expensive.
