This game feels so lively already, even though it’s not finished
the whole vibe of the game is so comforting and relaxing.
Ikr! It’s prealpha and I’m already interested in the game as is lol. I’m pleasantly surprised that all the hype for para lives a few years back is already so well deserved! Beautiful game!
Y
With every video I get more and more excited. Cant wait till this comes out!
@@missbunny7078 right! I just wanna light a candle, get a pillow, and sit at my desk and play
EA: Hmm, we could've easily split this base game into 4-5 packs.
😆
Curved wall stuff pack, adjustable items game pack lol!
Probably more like 7-9 packs, now that they have those fckn kits lmao
@@m.r.waters.writes you're right, they even made a country kitchen kit THEN released a country themed pack! I feel kinda bad for those who bought the kit
Omg ikr. The level of greediness EA has. The country kitchen stuff didn’t even have that much variety in it, and then releasing a full expansion after, is just... wow the audacity. 😐😑
This is the kind of magic that happens when a company actually cares about the game they're making. Absolute perfection
I know right? Other people simulators will take insight from it. Good riddance, we need some tough competition to keep game developers grounded and listening, transforming their games through player base feedback.
@@calzonyCraze not exactly the devs. more the exectutives and big shots who get to decide
@@irimac1806 There is a many-to-one correspondence here. A game developer (disambiguation) can range from one person who undertakes all tasks to a large business with employee responsibilities split between individual business functions. As such, programming, design, art and testing as well as management, marketing, finance and human resources and senior management to name a few.
The common and natural meaning would be the company to players who are not too into the game development cycle aspects of the game. As such, EA Games the game developer. You are right, middle and senior management have a lot of say, but the development team would have an indirect impact on the game, as well as the Design Lead. Overall, yes you are correct, senior management, marketing and business analytics would have a direct say and impinge the main development phase of the game (add-ons incl.) with strict deadlines.
Thanks for the heads up Iri.
yeah i haven’t seen this game before but it looks great it looks like they put so much possibilities into what you can build
sims4stephAF
They basically took everything we were missing in The Sims and made it better
How do I downloaf
@@exactlyemerald be patient... this game's full release is like q2 of 2026 but early access is q1 of 2025
"Guys, it's just an indie game. Don't get too hopeful"
The indie game:
Riiiight
Right
Is it still Indie? I think it ceases to be when it is no longer made by one person, the Paralives team I think has 7 or 8 people working and they are already going for two more.
@@juliapiedra9904 good point, what's it called now? Just a normal game that's in development?
@@noiz1762 AA?
I need this game so bad. The world looks so beautiful and alive.
Hopefully the grass and trees can be cut for the characters
the amount of times i gasped or said “wow” while watching this
SAME I NEED THIS RN THIS LOOKS SO FUN AND EVEN BETTER THAN ANY BUILDING GAMES
*+Ann B* and it's not even Alpha!
Will the graphics of the game improve or will it be like this?
KEYWORDS: "Attention to details". This is it. This is THE GAME.
For real... Even with that little mosquito thing...
@@jessicam588 IKR I LOVED THAT!! 5 seconds in and I was already so so happy haha
✨ she is the moment ✨
The Sims 4 could never
Everything is customisable and I'm loving it!!! 💕💕💕
I just hope people don’t have insane expectations. I remember reading a post where a person demanded the ability to remove onions from pizza. Like really?
imao 😂
BAHAHA
If there is no pizza with pineapples, this feature is not needed. If there is, then definitely not a state of game that is releasable.
😂😂😂😂😂
It would be great though. Lets say the para is just allergic to certain things/food maybe onions or even pineapples
this is what happens when a small indie company listens to the community's voices and is very transparent about everything they do and in return the people supports the group financially, it creates a masterpiece that the people cherish and love, thank you Paralives ;)
A masterpiece with sectional sofas
Someone had to say it right! 100% agree.
This actually looks like so much more fun than any of EAs Sims games, I seriously can't wait!
Until a major game publishing company dips it's fingers in it.
@@iloveplumpgrannies174 Devolver anyone?🥴
I love that the world isn't paused while building. Your characters stay put, but they're animated while waiting for their house. I love it!!
The game has so much personality look how realistic the house is😭
nobody paused my world while renovating my irl house.
the time stays on 13:57 the whole time so i think it is paused, but i love that while paused the world still has like idle animations??
Yes! They definitely need to be "paused" so they don't get in the way lol, but it's nice that they just kind of stand there like "oh they're building us a house! How nice. Oh, I like that window!"
it is paused tho
The fact that they even put in the effort of making pictures sizable to the frames you make and allow color customization of individual clutter is honestly insane. They’re so considerate of the small details
The pictures alone made me want the game lol I wonder if we can input our own pictures from our files or what not idk
Also free placement of clutter and their heights too!
You can also add the pictures you want, not sure if from mods or directly from the game.
It’s almost like they took all the things the sims community has been complaining about for years, and implemented those wishes into this game 🙌🏽✨
@@EclipseSeth The dev confirmed that you can upload your own pics in the game folder and they will show up in the UI.
just watching it is so therapeutic 🥺💖 even the soundtrack 😭 I hope all the best for this game 😭🙏
I like how the furniture comes with swatches already so us lazy people don’t have to color everything from scratch but also we can make our own colors
Yes, and I'm not a lazy person, but an indecisive one, so it's nice to have preselected colors that narrow down my options and I dont take forever trying to decide which shade on the color wheel works haha, but still great to have the option of a color wheel!!!! 😆😆
It remerbered me The sims 3
I wonder how it will work on file level. If there is a chance that all additional swatches are saved in specific folder, this could mean you could also just have a special swatch pack added by modders and community.
@@deborroni I’m lazy and indecisive
I can finally get a bed that is #f587ef coloured specifically
It’s the small things that matter, the sink with a drying rack, adding and removing pillows. This game is going to be so great and work the wait
Yes! Exactly, it's the little things like that which adds realism to a house. Here it's rare to not see some form of sink drain, whether metal or carved into the countertop, if it's marble or similar materials. I wonder if the extra pillow gets removed when they go to bed.
I hope kettle will be there too, idk why they didn't had it, isnt it a kitchen necessaries?
@@susabobus one word; American
when they reoriented the floor at 2:18 i literally jumped out of my chair, its such a simple thing but so unexpected and i feel so grateful that they have things like that
@@GreenyZay developers are canadian actually 😊
No matter how the game turns out, I’m really glad that EA is finally getting some competition on the life simulator front.
Maybe it’ll push them to actually create more things that the community wants because people might stop buying their millions of packs
@@frenchfries2998 glad to say i’ve never dropped a buck on them 😎
I really hope that EA will learn their lesson when Paralives comes out. Their monopoly has to end; they’ve abused it for far too long. I’m sure that both companies can (and will) produce great games, but EA just needs a kick where the sun doesn’t shine
Yes! They need it! They’ve been somewhat static for a decade… so…
@@lewisblack7477 yeah, they already lost SimCity
Why does this game gives me all the warm and fuzzy feelings? Like I’m about to cry, starting with background sounds, the animations, the carefully thought of considerations in building a house, etc. something that TS4 massively failed to accomplish.
This game looks more complete than a certain game released 7 years ago.
“certain game” 😂😂😂😂 good one!
Oh, you mean that game from EA? Can't remember it very well...
The game you shall not name. Lol.
@Rafaeliy Kitsune are you dumb? they’re obviously talking about fnaf 😐😐.
🤣🤣🤣
Me looking at my wallet after this:
“We gotta talk. I’m about to do something you normally don’t want me to do but it’s gonna be worth it this time.”
Lmao and I feel that. (Btw you're so fucking beautiful)
And my old pc will say, "just kill me already"
By the name, I guess you're a brazilian as well, right? If so, I know the pain we will feel in our pockets when this game launches. BUT IT WILL BE WORTH IT DAMMIT!
@@AgnusCavichioliPereira for once I’ll actually pre order a game if you can I usually never pre order shit cause there’s usually always a problem
Im pretty sure I read/ watched lilsimsie or SOMETHING where it was revealed it would be free? but some extra content and like 'expansion pack' -like things will be purchased but i'd also be surprised because this game is literally beautiful and id invest 10x more in this than what I've done with the sims 😫
The detailing of the seating. The scaling of the tables. The kitchen decor. The plants swaying as they’re placed. The satisfaction of knowing that I will play this game someday. What peace 😌
In a PRE ALPHA as well like WHAT!!!???
Bless you and your computer 😭
My only concern is how they will make this work with gameplay. Animations and how much things cost in game
@@Redd_Nebula they are using Machine Learning to adapt animations to all shapes and sizes (like most modern companies do). That limits workload and helps adapt one animation to all Paras and all situations you could think of. And I think pricing on items is like the least problem we should really have.
every time it looked like it couldn’t possibly get better, it did. my jaw is in a different country, this has me unbelievably excited for this game, the devs are insanely talented and the potential here is incredible
You: EA
The guy she told you not to worry about: Paralives
что ж здесь действительно не о чем беспокоиться
@@junkovichhh настолько похуй что даже не заморачиваешься с переводом.
Anytime I see a paralives update I immediately stop what I'm doing
so true
Honestly, I stop everything
Same. I took a bathroom break at work to watch this lol
@@xavariel lol
Yup!
The couch??! And the bed?? Made me lose my mind. I'm so proud of y'all, and so glad I've been a patreon supporter for a year and helped this happen!!
The kitchen island had me. Like man the customization is NUTS.
Saaame!
Annka's here!??
Love your channel
We can already do all of this in sketchup. The bigger challenge is how the ai is gon interact with those items. I just dont see this gon end well and not buggy
ANNIKA??? ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Without a doubt if Paralives lives up to expectations when it's finally released, it's going to blow EA out of the water at the top spot with the Sims. I wonder how closely EA are watching this and thinking how they can copy what you guys are doing for Sims 5 next year.
I agree with you; it's such a dumb concept to think about though, because you'd think that the people who MAKE THE SIMS would have done atleast have of these things a long time ago??😭 the fact that they might need to "copy" paralives is absurd to me but sadly true🙃
You called it, look at the project rene they annouced
@@loser4356 yea so sad
u predicted it lmfao
They're doing that. Fuck EA
okay but why isn’t anyone talking about this music? it’s beautiful. andrei did an amazing job composing this! i am in love.
Who??
The music is honestly fantastic
Is this in the soundtrack? Or is it stock?
@@sarahpowell321 Andrei Castanon.
i could fall asleep in peace with this music 😩
Paralives could upload a trailer of a para on the toilet taking a dump and I'd be excited
That's a weird kink, but i respect it! xD
My English is not the best so I had to read this comment twice before realising it wasn't a creepy sexual comment lol
Am I the only one who actually understood that they meant that they were excited abt Paralives?
Come to think, they never showed us anything related to live mode and this game is a life simulation game! That makes me worry about the gameplay aspect of it and how lively the Paras really are...
@@enzo.scheidemantel Go watch the trailer with the guy swimming and sitting on his counter top. They are working hard and it shows. :)
Title should be “11 Minutes of a game that I will spend 11 hours a day playing for 11 years.” The lighting looks so good. The object placement is so smooth. Colour wheels, customizable everything, it all looks so perfect.
Forever indebted to the Paralives dev team
Screamed a lil bit over the object resizing. My siblings gave me dirty looks. I careth not.
@@rebeccajoy6940 PLS SAME , even the way that you can smoothly turn things on an angle with cheats or codes is so nice
Ree Joy your siblings are missing out
The UI sounds are very satisfying. I'm so happy that there aren't "slots" for objects and clutter, it allows for so much more customization to make a place look lived in!
Sims: Let's add a sofa chair, maybe a 2-seat sofa, too.
Paralives: Let's add a sofa that can turn into a million shapes, sizes, colors, patterns, with modular options for pillows, etc.
sorry but the graphics of paralives suck
@@prive7469 uhm that's literally their first game... didn't EA also have bad graphics on their first sims??
@@prive7469 it’s pre-alpha this is not nearly the final product yet.
@@prive7469 you know when the public tests it its called beta-testing right? Well this is the skeleton they are putting on, the pre-alpha means we'll be able to do all this, the look is added later
I mean atleast Ea’s giving us sectionals now, but they don’t have modular pillows, it’s been 6 years since release and in a pack, while Paralives has it in BASE GAME at LAUNCH
*at this point its not that i want this game, I NEED THIS GAME*
The music composer responsible for this theme definitely hit the jackpot when it comes to theme and feel of the game! If the rest of the Paralives soundtrack will be similar to this, i'll be so excited! This game is going to be such a comfort to so many
Yes! 🙌🏼 music is beautiful
It reminds me so much of Sims 2, I’m honestly stunned.
This makes me so happy to be a patron.. Always nice to see your money is put to good use.
That game for pc
@@austinjeoffamoguis3793yeah? whay
The entire time the house is being built while your paras casually get mauled by mosquitos
one of my favourite bits in the whole video is that para just slapping the midge at the start. so smoothly done. :D
It's so satisfying… 🥺💙
necesitamos reaccion Mario >o
Todos queremos tu reacción!!!
Mario!!! Necesito tu santa reacción 😻
Hola mijo quiero video.
Holaaaa!!!! JAJJAJA estamos igual, es súper precioso y eso que aún sigue en desarrollo! Seguro que cuando se termine todo el mundo alucinaremos jajajjaja
it's cool that the houses feel organic and lived in, like not every single chair is in perfect symmetry with the dining table or the kitchen island that's so cool
I agree
I worry a bit that the house aspect looks too modern and boxy, i really hope that we can build homes that look victorian with all the trims and mouldings.
@Smach yes I would love that
It looks great, but wondering how the AI 'sims' are going to interact with those lol.
I feel this is a huge thing game designers miss when making interiors, especially houses. They all look too clean or perfect. The lighting, animations, and attention to detail make the game feel more lively than The Sims.
People thought Sim City would last forever due to how long it has dominated the genre... until Cities Skylines basically murdered it. Maybe Paralives could do the same to The Sims.
I believe there’s no game genre that can only be dominated by one franchise, and I also believe in enjoying multiple games of the same genre.
I dont see anything dominating the sims tbh
The recent Sim City was a failure and Cities Skylines rushed a game out to fill in that niche. Sim City killed itself and Cities Skylines came in as a replacement. Many people forget how bad Cities Skylines was at release because it was a rushed release, but since it wasn't as bad as Sim City it was able to capture the market. It would not have taken over if Sim City was a competent release from EA. Lots of updates over the years and Cities Skylines is a great game, EA would have to outdo them to recapture the market which would be hard at this point since loyalty has shifted.
I hope, ea is cocky and they need some competition. Even then it probably won't be enough. I've already stopped playing the sims. This game looks way better
I'm hoping that a fully flesh-out life sim game does eventually kill Sims. But this isn't going to be the one to do it. It's not going to be released anytime soon and when it finally does get released it's going to be another Hokko Life - a game released without any meaningful content.
This is gonna kill my social life and I'M READY FOR IT
Cant kill what's already dead 😂
What social life? I don't even know what people are anymore.
ur gonna live parasocially thru this game
a paralife, if you will
Why is nobody talking about the music? It's so good! Legit getting some feeling from me, it's like those early sims songs, it's totally going to leave a trace in my memory for the rest of my life.
It's very relaxing without being repetitive and annoying! You can really just have a good time building and playing.
It’s so calming
Andrei deserves more recognition for that music
I'm talking about the music
It's calming and cozy and I think really fits the atmosphere they're creating
I love how there isn't anything WEIRD that doesn't fit in at all. All the furniture/decorations are things you would HAVE in REAL life not some random SPACESHIP BUILDER IN YOUR BACKYARD or something that has a specific pattern that will NOT fit in with any design. Thank you Paralives
exactly. there will be time for fancy and funny dlcs, i’d rather have mundane stuff first
I like having weird furniture but stuff that's necessary for specific gameplay like making cupcakes or career-required items shouldn't have nothing but a weird option. I hope that there will be some weird items but always with another more versatile-looking item that does the same thing.
I hope they will make weird stuff as well 💀
weird stuff is cool and all but if i need my sim to make cupcakes i don’t want a giant cupcake maker in my kitchen..
and why do astronauts need their own rocket? doesn’t the company have one?
i would like some wacky stuff though so i can but torture chambers and such
The way it looks so easy to use platforms and different level rooms in this game is so awesome 😭😭😭❤️
THIS IS GOING TO BE A *BUILDER'S PARADISE!!!!!!!*
The level of customisation for building is fantastic. No clogging up the catalogue with different sized furnishings and building materials, just chose a style and shape it as you want. I can see this game will run very efficiently. Create till your hearts content. I'm confident the team have sorted routing/usability issues as this has taken years to develop to this point.
I definitely want to see more options for different styles of house and different patterns, but there is already SO MUCH you can do with just these few limited options, it's incredible and I'm so excited
Im honestly amazed by how it looks, the way you can just use one item and make a thousand different things with it with all the customization options is truly astonishing. What worries me is, how will this actually work out in a game that seeks to function as Sims does. I mean, for example the coffe tables, one is somewhat covered by the bigger one so, would that rend it useless? How about the first sofa they placed, it seems to have any point an animation plays blocked off so, it'd just be there for the looks?
Not tyring to sink the proyect or so, I'm more than sure the team behind this has a tohusand and one creative ieas to solve problems I can't think of right now, but I truly am curious of what this game has to give and now that thye actually popped un on E3 (Or the events surrounding E3, for that matter) I can only have great hopes for Paralives.
Little PD I wanna throw out, the work they have right now is somethign I would already pay full prie to just have and mess around with. I've seen actual interior design focused applications less developed than this.
no more lacking a window of a certain size in the correct colour~
I'm more in the negative of this actually. The game looks awesome there is no doubt that but I believe team would need excellent optimization as well as really great ways of Paras to understand how each item will work. This depth of customization brings a lot of problems. Like how will Para's react when there is a chair between wall and enlarged table. What will happen when a Para sees a paining too high for them. Another thing is those different sized furnishings allowed less experienced builders to throw something fast no problem. I think this kind of customization will make it harder to enter the building scene. I support this game and I hope it does really great to start a good sort of competition with other life sim games.
@@metaboi488 the AI they use is one that adapts as it goes along. its used in some fighting game too (i forget the name. it sounded like it was something one shouldve heard of) yes there are things to consider, but they already are and the progress is looking great so
Paralives : "so you can literaly adjust anything"
Me : ok 🙂
Paralives : *adjust the couch*
Me : 😱😱😱😱
So true my exact expression. After the demo of adjusting table, windows, height of columns, hanging lamps, wall paintings. Ok everything we hoped for in TS. Suddenly. BOOM! THE SOFAS ADJUSTMENT. BOOM! THE BED ADJUSTMENT! Help my brain is too happy just by seeing these.
I might fall asleep while building a home for my parafolks, the game is absolutely dreamy and relaxing
"If something looks unfinished, its because it is!"
This looks more finished than any other Life Sim game i know....
True omg, my pc could never, I hope they find a way to make it lighter so weaker computers can work this
@@rafaelfaria5568 They said on their website they try to make it work on low end laptops. Which would be very good optimization tbh.
The fact they can release the game right now and we’d still say “it’s more finished than sims 4” should really say something
With the amount of people who play Sims who are very into building they could release this as a stand alone building demo and people would shit bricks lol
I'm gonna cry when this game comes out and that's not even a joke
Girl...same. 😫
Weak. I've ALREADY cried.
(Sarcasm)
I'm crying right now
I think I will too.
I love that the animations continue as you build and the game isn’t paused. I don’t know how to explain it, it just adds a whole element to building the house
This is actually, everything we ever wanted in those construction games.
Color choices, size choices, height choices.
This is the ultimate building game.
This could even work for architect job.
Can't wait, and yet i want devs to be happy with the release. So take your time guys, we will wait.
Oh my! 😍 I'm very excited for this!
Marmelad! I love your builds in The Sims 4! I'm sure you'll make a lot of good builds with Paralives too! :D
Indeed, the game seems to give a lot more freedom
Love u
Marmalad!! I hope you bring us most amazing buildings for paralives. I'll be waiting.
@Marmelad Невероятно интересно будет посмотреть на ваши постройки в этой игре 🥰
Looking at Paralives compared to The Sims is like getting out of a bad relationship (doesn't have to be romantic) then meeting someone new that treats you the way they're supposed to treat people. Slightly resentful that someone mistreated you for so long, but happy to have someone that treats you well. I'm really looking forward to this game.
Omg great comparison lol so true 😆
Jesus, so true.
Huh
That's one way of putting it, I guess
I am getting a divorce as soon as this is out lol. Ts4 is the only game I've played ever and I'm starting to regret spending so much money on it after seeing this
Wow. Seeing this, I almost shed tears of joy. I was checking in on the channel, and what I see here is very beautiful and relaxing. Subscribed, and definitely looking forward to the release of Paralives.
The most incredible thing is that this is a pre-alpha, I swear to you that if I could I would invest all my money in this game.
Righht, their pre-alpha is so impressive
I loved to be part of their patreon, but my economic posibilítese are to save money and patiently wait to be released.
@@pedro6720
If you do ever end up with a little to spare, you get a lot of insight of the development process from newsletters at the $5 level.
I hope that when the game is finally released we will see a finalized version of this house in the game! It would be a fun Easter Egg.
Brilliant idea!!
That would be really cute!
I love this idea!!
And Maggie and the guy from that other trailer too! (sorry, I can't remember his name)
@@LizzieNya Sebastian
at the end i was like "i wanna see the roofing, please the roof" and then i went crazy and now i am crying cause this is so good
there was a roof right at the end :DD
They didn't show the tools for it though, so they're probably still developing roofs.
That game has a big potetion for architects 🙋🏻♂️ Implementing more and more building stuff will be awesome!
Even in pre alpha this build mode looks better than any other simulators out right now
yEAh, Paralives looks much better already
The only other simulator cof cof
facts and it’s just base game too
Look at Hometopia, I think its way better.
@Good Vibes looks like hometopia is just a building and design game but it still looks pretty!! thanks for the suggestion :)
Who else can't wait for this to be released?!
YESSSS
It's gonna take a while tho

@@water9892 but it'll be worth it
🙌
To be honest: I would love to play the pre-alpha right now. This looks more completed than the sims 4 on its release! Take your time. This is going to be amazing!
🤜🤛
Absolutely, I would gladly pay up to €30,- to play pre-alpha.
I love the sims 4, but I have to admit…this looks a lot better, has nicer music and doesn’t cost me 400 dollars just so I can have dogs in the game along with doctors and all the jobs that aren’t just things from movie troupes
Also the circular option for walls is so nice!
Yeah we wants some beta releases, however I'm most interested I. Gameplay(not builds), especially seeing that this is where sims is really lacking in Sims 4.
@@theavantribe I would really love to be able to prebuild characters and houses tbh then I can have a plan ready for when I can start playing xD
The sound effects, the music, the building, everything is PERFECT! I can’t wait to get this game!
2 seconds in and “SEE LOT HISTORY” 😍😍😍 I know there’s gonna be some fun stuff for storyline players.
Lot history probably just mean that it let's you reset the house to before you made any changes. Or it's a list of other houses you've saved
@@simmernick9 Nah. I think your right it might be a history of builds you can restore. BUT they already confirmed there was going to be a town that comes with the game with lots you can demolish. Regardless I can’t wait to demolish old builds in order to progress my story and then be able to restore them when I don’t like where I went with it
@@adtamyaart That would be awesome. Or if they have a Generations update. If you could restore old families. Switch between household eras like a time machine.
I really want to see the characters interact with things. The customization of building is amazing but I want to see what options there are when it comes to people
I was just thinking that... the build mode is really impressive but for me, building the perfect house is only half the fun. I really, really want it to be for the sims what cities skylines was for simcity
@@n3zum1 Yesss!
@@n3zum1 😌 I need to play me some Skylines this weekend now.
hopefully they’ll be able to show us that soon!
Even if the characters interacting is what is unfinished, this would be perfect for my mother who only plays the sims yo build and then just let's the family auto play while she builds a new house.
Lots of comments talking about EA, and it's justified. The salt is real! Indie devs just made a *multi-billion dollar company* look like the dirty thieves they are. We're tired of the false advertising and empty promises. It's about time that Maxis gets some actual competition! The Paralives Team deserves the recognition and support for keeping a close ear to the community, and for all the hard work they're putting into this beautiful game!
AMEEEEENNNNN!!! I’m so tired of being so excited about a trailer drop, only to play the game and be thoroughly disappointed by the gameplay. This game feels so immersive, you can really make it your own.
EA will just stop competing. Look at Simcity
exactly!! the paralives team deserve all the praise, money, and support for this amazing game. maxis/EA need comp and they are perfect for it
this is what they get, swearing up and down their “listening” to us when they just now gave us the thing we’ve been asking for for 5 years now.
i’m so so excited for this game :D
I got so hyped when EA revealed they were making a 4th sims game,only to find out it wasn’t going to be as realistic I anticipated it would be.I got so,so mad that they made the game look good when in reality there wasn’t half of the features what we were used to.Like the sims 3 when you could make custom hair colours and the sims 2 being able to choose different colours for the headboard and the sheets.
Bruh right?? When EA dropped Sims 4 cottage living and went 'well yeah we got lots of farm stuff here and could easily add horses but we won't because they need their own pack' and it's like yeah no it's because you want to have people spend even more money for a seperate pack.
I love the graphics and the colour choice. I love the texture and everything. It looks so peaceful and cozy. I love the North American (especially Canadian) vibe of « la cabane à bois rond » it reminds me of renting a cottage in the Gatineau parc and just admiring the lake and the sunset. I can’t wait to play this game! Bravo à l’équipe, vous faites une très belle job!! ♥️♥️
Fun fact the devs are Canadian!
"if something looks unfinished..." BRO??? this looks STUNNING and PERFECT to me wtf i'm super hyped, been waiting for years and it finally feels like it's coming :')
Looks like they are pretty close to finishing up build mode now the actual game play Parafolks animations clothing dogs cats and horses and so on so at least 3 more years.
@@lance9249 As long as they keep releasing contents like this, the fans can wait (including me lol)
The Manu categories should have sub tabs, otherwise it would be endless to find things.
On the other hand, this game does needs as much things as the Sims. For example windows. There are many windows on the Sims that are like recolours of themselves just a different size... :/
@@EclipseSeth okay then... go play the sims lol? this ain't the sims, yall gotta understand that once and for all, stop with the aggressive comparisons
The little animation of the characters in the beginning where one was doing the frame with their hands and the other swatting a fly on their neck was so cute. It’s really about those details that are unexpected.
I was so excited about that because it already has so much character in just idleness
Paralives Team: "We just added a fully customizable build system with curved walls, custom furniture, decor, coloring systems, and no grid is necessary."
The Sims 4 Team: *"HEY GUYS WE JUST ADDED DUST BUNNIES-"*
And a vaccum cleaner uwu😂😂😂
The sims team: we also added some other shit you don't care about or want. Have fun. 👍👍
@@imerie-kavellelee4278 ...and broke a bunch of other things in the process. Woopsy daisies! That will be $40, please!
At this point, it’s not fair to compared Paralives with sims 4. Just enjoy the experience and see it as how impressive was the sims 1 at its moment
The Sims 4 Team: Star Wars pack, anyone?
I cannot wait for this. It is absolutely amazing what a small dev team has done in roughly 4 years.
The attention to detail surpasses all of the Sims games by miles, & the art style is so cute/cohesive.
"If something looks unfinished, that's because it is!"
WHERE? EVERYTHING LOOKS SO GOOD ;A;
I guess it’s mostly the interface system
I actually noticed a few things. For example, when they stretch the table, there's no texture in the middle of it. When they stretch the bed, the pillow sticks to the right, which I'm assuming will change into the pillow stretching as well, with it eventually being cut in the middle.
There were a few clippings, for example, on the steps. But overall, build mode looks amazing and should almost be finished 😁
this pre alpha has more complex build tools than the sims 4 in 7 years
It’s ffff crazy
EA could never 😂
Paralives - House Building Gameplay in 11 Minutes
Everyone: *happy noises*
I've been following this game since it's early stages 3 years ago and have been patiently waiting for this gem. Alex and his team are doing AMAZING work and have been super communicative with updates and news. So stoked and keep up the great work y'all!
Has anyone else that's been following the progress on this game spent 90% of their time daydreaming about how AWESOME it's gonna be when sims builders on youtube get their hands on this game??
Like don't get me wrong, I wanna play the game myself, DESPERATELY, but I'm MOSTLY looking forward to the Absolutely Crazy Houses that are gonna get built from this super customizable masterpiece of a simulation game.
Honestly! I love Kate Emerald's builds and would LOVE to see what she'd create :D
Lil simsie!
Dead ass!
You pretty much can already see what people would do with this. This is similar to stuff like Planet Coaster. Even when on beta versions - it already allowed for people to create extremely beautiful stuff.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
y’all remember when everyone said “it’s just an indie game, don’t get your hopes up”? the paralives team sure showed them
I rather wait till the game comes out before making judgement. A lot of game publishers have done the same thing, and they game comes out and it sucks. Not living to what they promised.
@@whiteipod2000 this video literally shows in game mechanics???
@@keishabriannax well it's not for sure how it will look like at the end, the graphics will probably change
@@lilofication true, but they sure improved from the first announcement. especially the graphics. based off of the build features alone, i’d say it’s an amazing game with attention to detail. i hope the gameplay lives up to that.
@@keishabriannax Yes of course it looks really good ! Just in my opinion I think more realistic furnitures would look better
Dear paralives: I will never spend money on an overpriced game pack, ever again. youve shown me what a game can give when the developer really cares and im so excited to be a paralover
Agree tho to be fair it's not the developers, they are limited by what EA allows. If EA sniff a chance to split content into 5 different packs they will make them do it. What you see here is creativity and passion not bound to a greedy overlord.
@@Unholy_Tongue i say all the sim gurus quit and join team paralives 😈
@@Unholy_Tongue EA just care for money isn't developers faut.
@@rebeccablackvirus975 this is the real simulation game EA became money hungry after maxis gone
I heard something about with cottage living is the start of maxis having the rights back to the game
I am still amazed by the building, but the music just moves me so much. I love it. Andrei is so talented.
I love that there's just so many possibilities... with just only ONE object!!!
It makes me excited, but worried by how the parafolks are gonna interest and when the lines is drawn
@@pedro6720 That's one of their main priorities
@@pedro6720 The team are implementing procedural animations into the game which can make Paras interact with different objects better
They said at the beginning that this isn't finished, yet even at this stage we have more features than another (SIM)ilar game after how many years and updates?
😂😂😂😂Ohhh that (SIM)ilar game🤔
😭😭
I wonder what is that other (SIM)ilar game you talk about... 🤔🙃
How SIMpathetic.
THIS IS THE UNFINISHED PRE-ALPHA FOOTAGE??!?!?!
HOW IS IT ALREADY EONS BETTER THAN SO MANY OTHER GAMES IVE SEEN. JUST HOW?!?!?!
It’s probably because building is just one aspect of a life sim, we don’t really know how the AI is/how many things they put down are actually interactable or strictly decorative
@@Cuhnt Honestly even without that it's still dope I play a ton of survival games and building games and just seeing the amount of options with the building is INSANE I'd buy it just for that cause I've never played a house building game with so many options before (Sims 3 came sorta close with some things though) curved walls, split leveling, all the items being super adjustable with the sizing, texture and color it's almost overwhelming thinking about the awesome houses I could build with this.
Competent developers who know (and listen to) what their audience want
@@SleepyKittyPaws People with common sense too no less, that’s bloody rich in this gaming industry’s seeing it’s failures. BUUUUUT, take moot note, it’s still not gameplays being seen YET.
A mirror that actually reflects the room!!! 😍😍
Let’s just take a second to appreciate how good of a builder this person is
This is giving me nostalgic vibes even though I've never played it...
IKR! I think it’s the music🥰
I hope they keep this music for build mode
It's the "life is strange" vibe !
@@Epectase_ exactly!
@@Epectase_ favourite game in the world
I'm 34 years old now. I will play this even if I'm over 40s when you launch it. Take your time to do the best you can :)
Finally somebody like me, who understands that good things happen slowly...
I'm 52 and I'm getting OLD (ER) while I wait....and wait... and wait..
I am older than you, and I will still want it when it's launched.
It's okay they won't developing an indie game for more than 3 years, they need a lot of funding to develop a game for that long so most indie dev finishing their game earlier than other to get their fund and probably add more stuff later if the game did success
No this is the dumbest idea ever I want it now and can't wait any longer .
Absolutely love how you can make the home look actually lived in so excited for this to come out!
Simulation Wars: A New Hope. EA is the Empire. Paralives are the Rebels.
And hopefully Darth Vader is the redeemer himself, Will Wright. If he was still here, he’d be honored there’s another game like this in spirit that soothes his once proud vision. In so much more…
As long as nobody can do what sim3 did and expand your house into an entire world, everything will be a disappointment.
Yess hello there
@@ngtony2969 🤔🤨🙄
Exactly!
I hope this game ends up being a huge success. The team behind it deserves it!
Well said! 😁
the windows have custom sizes!!!!!
You know what, EA/maxis are a MULTIMILLION dollar company, they have had the funds to do anything and everything, and they've chosen todo the bare minimum. Due to how low the bar has been set for these simulation kind of games, even the simplicity of a curved wall, being able to adjust the size of things freely, the colour palate.. etc, paralives hasn't even been released, or even had a release date, but we're all sat here gobsmacked at the care and attention to detail this team has achieved, but on the surface, these things are REALLY small details, and they make THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE. Paralives team listen & learn, they care about the audience that this will reach, EA have taken YEARS, litrally decades to introduce somthing as simple as a fucking LADDER and the world of simmers loose their mind, they charge ridiculous amounts of money for absolute garbage. I cannot wait for them to crash & burn when this is released
Kick em where it hurts! In the bank accounts!
if more people would make life simulation games indetical to sims they will probably first start litenign to the audience
but im so mad that they made some of custom content not work anymore, and they also just copy custom content and then put it in the game
If only
Yeah, but let's not forget some things. We are all loving the curved walls, the way you can make those steps dividing both ambients, and the ability to resize everything and so on. But we can't forget that this must be playable with your character. The character must be able to flawlessly interact with everything. Here we are seeing a beautiful house creator, but we're not seeing how the characters react to it. What if the character don't understand that those are steps, and they can't use them? It's still beautiful, but useless. I agree that EA has millions and millions, and could easily develop something like this. But at the same time it's still a game, not an architecture simulator. I have big hopes for Paralives, and I love some competition against the big dogs
The game looks already amazing! I just wanted to compliment the team's hard work. No matter how long it takes to finish the game, I'm glad to see a cool game like this in development. Props to the sound designer and music producer, the song is really nice to listen to! I could probably listen to this outside of the game while I'm working!
This is absolutely incredible! The game isn't even finished and it looks like it's done! Imagine how it'll look when it's complete! The ever-expanding Paralives team is doing a fantastic job and I love how open and transparent you guys are with your supporters and soon to be customers with what's going on with the game. You guys are awesome! ♥
How does it look done? Im excited for it but come on, all weve seen so far was building and creating, no gameplay and game features at all. All we’ve seen so far is a cool building tools, not a game.
@@RokuRG I think he was just trying to emphasize on how far they came, despite Paralives having such a small team.
@@RokuRG we've seen their "create a Para" in addition to this building video. All I'm saying is that the game looks really good. It looks so good to me that they could just release it now. Of course, I know they still have a ways to go. I'm just complimenting them.
It looks great but the UI needs work and it needs a lot more content.
I love that they’re taking the time to produce a quality game
I think I know who you're trying to bash lol
All this and it’s been barely over a year of development 🙂
@@ember9361 technically it's been 2 years since Paralives announced lol

Just commenting to say WOW look how far you’ve come! An announced release year and the video featuring live mode! Congratulations!! 🎉
And this is why i call BS whenever anyone says EA isnt capable of giving us anything better. This game already looks 100x better than any sims game ever produced, and its made by a tiny team with probably not even HALF the budget EA has. Needless to say, im buying this the second it drops.
@squoosetiel how you concluded that from pre-alpha !? Customization does seem to look better, but yet they need to show AI interaction with build items, and interaction with other random AI. Problems may occur in future.
@@milosstojanovic4623 even if “actual” game play sucks I mostly use the sims 4 for building houses anyways so this seems like I great game to do just that if nothing else.
EA have already given us better, Sims 2 and Sims 3 are the best entries in the franchise. With how much money EA shells out for expansion packs that include the base game content that other games had, you would think they'd work on things that fans have been asking about for years. But they keep adding on to a framework that didn't even have pools to begin with, are you kidding. For a modern Sims game, it shouldn't be this subpar.
@@Jadisons yup, my exact problem with sims 4, i expected to have at least some basic things in the game like pets and seasons(dont know if they actually had that from the start) but when i saw everything game was lacking and plus they backstep game to just one lot with your house(instead of having entire city progressing in real time), it was clear it was pure money grab, i hope this game will be much much better. In recent years EA and 2k became worst companies!!
@@milosstojanovic4623 giving that they mentioned LOOKS, yes, it's possible to give an opinion on the looks of the game compared to other simulation games 🤨
They can't show what doesn't exist yet, the game's in development for only two years with a small team, chill they're starting to work on livemode still.
Happy to do some testing if need be :D Sims can't even compete to the progress this has already
Didn't expect to see you here!
YOOOO REPZION! Id love to see you play Paralives on your channel if youre interested in doing so when you can 😌
Omg is repzion going to become a gaming channel? The paralives files I can see it.
ohh if you start playing, you can stream it !
yooo! you should def play paralives on your gaming channel when it comes out!
EA: "Guys!!! Here is farming and all types of building modifications after 6 years and we are listening to you!!"
Paralives: "Hold my drink."
All the 'updates' we never got from the Sims 🥲
I mean, no matter what they say, the fact that they added that starwars pack (or whatever it was) after it was literally the least wanted out of the poll they made made it so obvious how much they aren't listening.
The fact alone that likes and dislikes for sims were added after freaking *7 years* ...
It's actually hold my "juice"
@@Crispy-Chips valid point hahaha
I am so happy that you guys understand how customisation is at the heart of a life sim, if you can let people put a piece of themselves in the game and play it their way retention goes sky high. Also makes a game mighty addicting.
welp as it stands now, regardless of how "live mode" interacts with the house, it still has the sims 4 beat in the one thing it was decent at, building. RIP the sims.
“If something looks unfinished it’s because it is”.... game looks more finished than the sims 4 at its release 🙃
well it's only the build part
@Cheap good qualitydont
@@oldcat1790 no
Oooooopffffffffffff
Well if live mode is as good as this then I'm buying it.
paralives placing the chairs around the table:
me who plays the sims: is that usable?
😆 i love this game already, it looks phenomenal!
i was asking about the entire house and going like. is this chair usable? bathtub? kitchen skin? chairs? SOFAS? BED?
@@Dover236 right 🤣 my mind is blown if all of that is usable and stackable plates?? amazing
They didn't show any para using them so... we don't know yet :\ People need to stop comparing Paralives and The Sims because this game will bring these amazing features that the EA franchise don't have but Paralives will lack a lot of things that are already in The Sims so keep that in mind for the future...
@@ShillClown yes i am very aware that this game is going to lack in places that the sims does not, and vice versa. it was just exciting to see the chairs angled that way. this game is exciting in general and i can’t wait to see what they bring to the table. i love the sims and always will, but i am excited to see paralives progress.
This was something I was sort of wondering, I love that everything is free placement but how is routing going to work? How are they going to just know where items are without direction? I mean developing something like this is above my mental capacity, and it is truly impressive, but makes me wonder how things are really going to play out past build mode.
the music is so peaceful. I cant wait to buy this. Thank you for sharing Paralives!!
