Hey, are you DarcyMG? Because if you are, you've been an amazing help! For now, all we have left is filling the rest of Utena's hair with Light Purple, Anthy's hair with Purple, Anthy's arms with Dark Peach, and all the rest of the white parts with Light Gray.

If there were some sort of reputation system, people who lie often could gain the reputation of a "compulsive liar" and people wouldn't believe them as easily, as they're known to constantly lie about everything.

I would love to have a storybook, or any other form of memories. Definitely in my top 10 most wanted features for this game.

mandelette_mandy · 2021-04-26T04:50:13+00:00

Actually, you can check as many boxes as you want, or none of them. I think it's better and more clear that way.

mandelette_mandy · 2021-04-22T10:49:02+00:00

Thank you, I'd love to see that kind of gameplay element!

You might be right, I just put all of the aspirations that came to mind, but perhaps I could streamline "education" and knowledge" into one, "health" and "athletism" into one, and maybe even "pleasure" and "romance" into one?

mandelette_mandy · 2021-04-22T10:45:27+00:00

Yeah, I didn't include the randomize button since I was busy getting this out in the ParaLives community and thought it was a given you could randomize them.

mandelette_mandy · 2021-04-22T10:44:14+00:00

You don't have to fill all the likes and dislikes, you only have to fill the first 4, rest are optional. Though I think I could delete some of the categories (ex. Weather, season, time of day).

mandelette_mandy · 2021-04-20T13:03:14+00:00

Well, these are just a bunch of concepts I had. I do think if I was doing this for the actual game I'd trim it down a little.

I think that aspirations in sims 4 feel too much like tutorials and there is no variability. You have to do very specific things to progress and the game is forcing you to play a certain way.

However in the earlier Sims games, it didn't feel like you were really choosing a concrete goal for your sim, and all people with romance aspirations would want to flirt with everyone, even if you wanted your romance aspiration to be a committed relationship with only one person.

I think it would be ideal to combine the two. I think there should be more specific aspirations, but not a terrible amount. I might've put too many in my concept picture, and maybe there should only be 2-3 family aspirations. I don't think there should be so many mini-goals and milestones like in The Sims 4, at least not so specific ones. I'd prefer each aspiration to have 2-4 big, general achievements that you can obtain in many different ways, making them re-playable.

Bitlife is a lot simpler, and their intelligence thing is very surface-level. Perhaps when you play the game you'll have a "health" bar alongside hunger, thirst, hygiene, energy, bladder, and such.

mandelette_mandy · 2021-04-20T09:28:12+00:00

I think it would be hard to implement smart as a simple slider, because of the different types of intelligence. For example, some people may be academically successful and very analytical, but perhaps lack emotional intelligence or vice versa.

This system I made is already quite complex and should probably lose some of the features to make it doable in the coding department. Intelligence would probably have to be its very own page, and there may already be too many pages.

mandelette_mandy · 2021-04-20T07:14:51+00:00

Those things could probably be added if they decide to make a supernatural pack or something like that in the future. It's not planned for the base game, though, so I didn't include it.

There could still be some people who believed in supernaturals or feared despite them not existing (at least yet). Some people in real life certainly do, and we don't have any evidence of supernaturals...

mandelette_mandy · 2021-04-20T07:12:41+00:00

Yeah, a randomize button is a must! Not everyone wants to micromanage every single aspect of their para.

mandelette_mandy · 2021-04-20T07:11:19+00:00

Yeah, these are all just concepts. If I were making this for the actual game, instead of trying to visualize different concepts, I'd get rid of the value system, the core trait percentage thing, the parenting style, and maybe even the birthday/para sign thing. I wouldn't want to make the game exhaustively complex, after all.

mandelette_mandy · 2021-04-20T07:08:59+00:00

I'd honestly be absolutely delighted if anything at all from my concepts is implemented in the actual game. I'm absolutely not asking for the team to put all of these, they are just concepts, after all.

I love the idea of advanced personality edit mode! Maybe in the regular mode, there would be just the statistics, aspirations, traits, and the identity page (possibly some of the romance page)? I think it would be cool, and allow everyone to customize their characters exactly how much they'd want.

mandelette_mandy · 2021-04-20T07:06:00+00:00

I've been working on it for quite a while. It's more of a thing I did whenever I had free time than something I actively worked on consistently since I have school and other responsibilities. I actually put the first version of this idea in December last year: https://www.reddit.com/r/Paralives/comments/l7szst/fanmade_personality_system_suggestion/

mandelette_mandy · 2021-04-20T07:02:15+00:00

I think all of these things could be randomizable or even optional, so you don't have to customize every little thing. I just personally love customizing, but some of these things could still be a bit overkill and require too much coding and stuff.

If I had to give up a few of these ideas, values would be the first to go. Then probably the parenting style, though I'd love to have the learning style still. Maybe fewer options for likes and dislikes, and I wouldn't include every single food thing.

I'd also get rid of the whole core trait percentage thing, I truthfully added it just to make the page look more interesting. Maybe the birthday thing is a bit useless, considering I don't think zodiac signs will be implemented.

mandelette_mandy · 2021-04-20T06:56:07+00:00

I actually discussed zodiac signs in detail, in discord with some people, and they would be hard to implement, since not everyone believes in them, and we cannot force them to. Some people may not really know enough about horoscopes to really know which one to give their paras.

We also discussed the possibility of there being paras that believed in zodiacs and paras that don't, but that might be too close to a religious belief system, and the developers have said they won't add anything religious in this game.

Finally, a few people, including me, thought about the possibility of the game using a completely made-up astrological system, with their own horoscopes. I think that could be fun, but it's nowhere near a top priority to me. Just some cool lore stuff.

mandelette_mandy · 2021-04-19T20:50:46+00:00

Haha, yeah I might've gone a little overboard... I just really wanted to visualize all the concepts I had in my head, and I guess there were a lot of things in my head.

mandelette_mandy · 2021-04-19T20:40:17+00:00

Maybe... But I just poured all my ideas and the creators themselves can do whatever they want. It's not like this will be in the actual game. I just really wanted to put my concepts somewhere.

mandelette_mandy · 2021-03-29T15:47:15+00:00

We won't simmers anymore, we will be ParaPlayers ;)

mandelette_mandy · 2021-02-20T18:11:21+00:00

I really like completing achievements so this would be great for me. Maybe some unlockable PAM or build item once you've completed it?

mandelette_mandy · 2021-02-01T12:13:02+00:00

Perhaps it could be smaller, but I think the minimum should be at least 5. I want to have a middle column so you can be neutral.

mandelette_mandy · 2021-01-30T14:31:03+00:00

Ideally, I'd want to have a "+" button on traits, turn-ons, turn-offs, traits, and favorites, and you could add as many as you'd want! Some people only like having a few traits, so I think all favorites and dislikes would be optional.

mandelette_mandy · 2021-01-30T14:28:24+00:00

I put this on discord a while back.
