Never got to play The Sims 3 when i was younger. But I often see my cousins & my brother play that game when i was in high school. I only got to play Sims 1, 2 & 4. Never got a chance to play TSM3 eventho i often buy & play video games. But seeing TSM 3 now since I'm older, makes me feel like I missed out a lot. Because is just something about TSM 3's immersion that draws my attention right now, looking back at old Sims 3 trailers when i was a kid, gives me excitement. Hopefully i can get the game on Steam soon. :)

And thats why I really cant appreciate the franchise that much, even the "best" game is so beyond broken and corrupted, that to make it work well enough even by the recommended spechs, you have to at least download some second hand content, clean templates and neighbourhoods, SimPE, Neighbourhood check and more just to make sure your save will not commit a Chiaotzu on Nappa moment. I like downloading overhauls, fixes and all for games, my Vice City and San Andreas know how much I do, but having to download various things beyond an widescreen fix, 4gb patch and all that, just to make sure the game will work even thought it will implode sooner then later, is such a shame... At least the game is less likely to break if you never play with the pre-made families... But you still will have to run Neighbourhood check just in case... What a headache. All that said, nice video! Im sure people who like the game will gladly fight throught all that and enjoy their time

Interesting idea that a large part of the negativity out there is due to players making the game part of their identity or choosing to display their identity through the game, then not recognizing that criticism of the GAME does not mean criticism of THEM. I guess I never thought of it like that. It explains a lot of the irrational toxicity around this franchise.

I have a very VERY powerful PC and I cant make Sims 3 run smoothly on it. It’s unplayable. I played Sims 3 for years on a much more simple (still advance at the time) machine and it ran perfectly with all DLCs. How did you manage to make sims 3 run smoothly on new OS? Pls do help I miss this game so much

I think the best example of a game surviving with no DLC is No Man Sky. The game updates are on par with DLC to the point that the free update has spawned memes of how the community is begging to support the game.

VR Support, Hell I would love to play this on the quest 3.

Such a great video on the topic, awesome work! Algorithm why am I just seeing this now?!

I hope they take their time to perfect Paralives because it looks amazing. I'll wait as long as it takes.

I can appreciate the consistent updates. I'm not gonna lie, when yall took that hiatus back in 2021 it was traumatizing.

I wonder what the button that looks like a genetic symbol on the top of the screen in the paramaker is for. 8:28

Is early access free, or do we have to pay? Or will we watch content creators play?

I have a feeling this would be the Sims 2 of this generation... Purely made with Love

When will paralives go into early access? (Sorry if you mentioned this)

I can't wait for this game. I'm really want to dig in and play it. I really excited but also worried what if it never come out. like another game I was waiting for and was canceled

I hope they add more pets. Like birds, lizards etc...

God im so excited 😩😩😩

While I appreciate the sliders and color wheel, having presets save so much time instead of spending so many hours getting the shape that I want. Presets give a base to work on, and the custom tools refine it. Layering clothes is very crucial! It give us a lot of styles with just only dozens of presets. With the color wheel, the possibilities are almost endless.

Having multiple piecing on 1 or 2 ears are definitely a thing, i thought that was a now public Patreon post? I think its the one with the since it featured the old man parafolk "Bernard something i think he has two first names" and the Black woman parafolk in the yellow top "Colline" that's used as a example for mix & match earrings & being able to add more than one earring/accessory to a ear 🤔

That's happy to hear I'm not alone in my Paralives fixation era😅

The more content I see about Paralives the more impatient I am for the release date! It's definitely the game I'm most excited for and looks to be the most promising, I can't wait to play it once it's ready.

i'm mostly not affected by the uncanny valley, i don't find inZOI uncanny, i just don't really like the realistic feel most games have nowadays, which includes inZOI (and no, i don't play any realistic games). also it would probably be too much for my pc lol. i'm glad people have connected with this game tho

InZOI models look good,it's just the lack of facial animations in create a character scene that adds creepiness,I hope they adress that.

The lack of expressions in caz adds to it so much. I was honestly not impressed:/

I don't know if it's because I play other games like bg3, red dead or Cyberpunk but when I hear sims players complaining about the look of inzoi I can't understand because it looks like any another game I played that adds "realistic" feel to it

WHEN WILL INZOI Release?

I feel like the main issue is the movement, I love the sims and this looks beautiful but their expressions and movements feel uncanny

I'm still not completely sold on gameplay but when it comes to looks I personally love the look of InZoi. I don't think it's uncanny at all. I've never understood people saying Sims 3, LbY, and InZoi look uncanny but then again Sims 3 sims were my favorite ones in looks and personality and it's hard to creep me out with any video game, TV show, or movie so 🤷🏾‍♀️

Inzoi's graphics are not "uncanny" as much as some Sims 4 fans claim to be. If anything it is close to GTA or other games that have motion capture characters. As for the art style, my take is Inzoi's vibe is giving a sense of utopia, a little too perfect, but still believable, or something out of a movie set. So it is not all that bad of a style to go to.

Honestly, i am not that zoomed in While playing. Watching gameplay when people were playing wasn’t that different from watching Sims. The zoom in on the face and this semi human face freezing is weird, but the playing doesn’t bother me.

the worst for me is how their eyes seems dead in the gameplay mode 😂 I KNOW they are not humans, but I think is very creepy. The create a zoi mode is ok, but the gameplay... 🥲 I prefer cartoon animation for games, but thats totally personal and never stoped me playing some games

well to be honest: I liked the game until I noticed that inzoi won't get released. I think the game would have been mind blowing, if the game was going to be realesed but as I stand now my money is on the cancellation of the game

ok you clocked it!! i’m not an Inzoi fan for other reasons lol but i never understood people complaining about the graphics. most AAA games these days have realistic graphics but i guess a lot of sims 4 fans aren’t aware of that 🤷‍♂️

What is the game you are playing? It looks so cute and cartoony.

The thing with "uncanny valley" is that it's all very subjective. Life by You gave me intense uncanny valley, inZOI not so much. It might just be because I'm already used to this type of graphics, lots of games nowadays (especially the ones made in Unreal Engine) use a similar art style but people are acting like Krafton invented it or something. The only thing about inZOI that was giving me the uncanny ick was when people were using the facial recognition and you could see the inZOI mimicking the person's facial movements. I think some people might wrongly be using "uncanny" instead of "hyper realistic" simply because they just see everyone else using that word and don't really know what it means. I also think some people are tossing it around as a derogatory term to throw at games they don't personally like.

I mean I have some mental disorders of my own but I do get the uncanny valley vibe from things just slightly off of looking completely human, and the inzoi characters don't give me that vibe. Only exception being those clips of what I'm assuming is some motion-captured face cam animation being used? But even then it wasn't noticeable until it was pointed out in that way to me.

Those people are welcome to keep playing the sims 4, I’m super happy to have a realistic life sim enter the chat.

They're an indy studio. They are working with an indy budget, but they're working with an indy budget with no shareholders to please. They don't really need to add dlc to break even.

Inzoi for me is the biggest one im looking forward too. But i will play paralives also and vivaland the more the better! Just not sure if i will like the cartoon style too much i like realism more.❤

Comparison makes sense. Sims is the only life sim to reference. Just like you can compare 2 different shooting games to each other

I love and adore supernaturals in The Sims (Especially Sims 2's aliens, but... Preferences are personal) and I do not care if Paralives has them added or not, or even if they never come. Would I enjoy them? Yes. Do I need them to be present? No. The Sims without even ghosts feels wrong to me. But Paralives _isn't_ The Sims and as such the base assumptions of what the world needs and doesn't need is entirely up for grabs. And there are some elements that The Sims is lacking in that I'd like to see before I see ghosts, aliens, and werewolves. (Being able to have kids go camping, either with friends or with a scouts equivalent, or to summer camp for a couple of weeks - even just as a rabbit hole that lasts 36 hours and has some random events attached to it - for example). Better integration of higher education and the rest of the world when it comes to temporal synchronicity (i.e. if a parafolk goes to uni for 8 weeks game time, the rest of the world should have progressed by 8 weeks when they get back, meaning I should be able to play through those 8 weeks with other members of their household rather than the weird 'time is paused while they're there' of The Sims). That sort of thing feels more... Important... for a new Life Sim than ghosts, etc, to me, as someone who likes there being supernatural elements in The Sims.

to me the sims community just become the same as a cult. you are not allowed to disagree with this community or have any different opinion that is too different from this community. and if you dare have it, well too bad for you, you will get cancel or be threaten and or people curse you very bad things. that how much fuck up this community become honestly and it toxic for young people to be in. I truly believe in the freedom of speech and have a different opinion, and I do believe in healthy discussion. but that's the thing, many people in this community just can't have healthy discussion anymore if they don't 100% have the same opinion as them, they don't know how to make a discussion. so it better just to not be in this community as fast as possible.

the house boats are still in the roadmap under "during early access release"! i feel like they haven't worked on pets much yet, generally speaking things that will be added after/during early access have been on hold from what i understand so i think there probably isn't much to update yet on that front i think occults would be a really fun addition at some point but definitely not something i need or expect in paralives something i'm really curious about, and that i had forgotten was coming until recently, is what lore they'll come up with. we got some with sebastian but that's just one para. and i think his story was really interesting so i have high hopes for the rest of the town. i hope they will plan it in a way that lets you actually discover new parts of the lore and new connections between people as you play but i'm not sure how that would work in paralives. they could definitely do some fun things with family trees and relationship types (like in the gameplay trailer when we could see that the two lovebirds were actually classmates before) and maybe even the memory system? basically i'm looking forward to seeing the team's creativity and personality come out in the game! the amount of personality in paralives' art style and features so far is what makes the game stand out to me. imo you can tell this is a passion project and not just another way to make money for a big company. i really have full faith in the team and their decisions oh right something else i had forgotten about for a while is that we'll be able to set sexual orientations and preferences! as fun as it is to play in a world where everyone seems to be pan (the sims 4), for storytelling purposes as well as realism this is gonna be great!

I can't wait for this game! please come out and don't get cancelled like LBY 😭 I'm traumatized cats are the best! They have their character that is totally different, they not boring and can get so adorable!

I'm really excited about this game too! I can't wait to get into it and see what's possible.

such a great video! i made one about all the updates from 2019 to now and completely missed the houseboat 😮😮 can't wait to play paralives ❤💕

That "5 years ago" hit me like a train. I didn't realize just how long this has been in development, and the fact that they have been actively keeping us updated on it the whole time is also so impressive!

I always forget they have hair physics

Ahh thanks for this highlight on features that we haven't heard about in awhile, it was a great refresher. I am sooo excited for Paralives. As someone who almost exclusively plays occults in the Sims, I really hope they decide to do a Supernatural optional add on in the future, but the game looks so good and detailed that whether they add them or not won't affect how much I play I think haha.

Paralives are dropping updates every week got me excited every time! I'm pretty sure features they "forgot" maybe included after or during early access. With updates and new content will be free later after the base game launch, I don't mind waiting for pets or houseboats hehe

I did forget about boats and houseboats - and that they already showed a dog way back when. And I'm pretty much in full agreement on all your opinions stated in this video. The procedural animations in particular have been exciting me since their announcement alongside sliders.
