@@ajncjsmommy13 lmaoo I had this problem yesterday, the babies were all finally asleep until my sim took out his granddaughter put her on the ground and left. she ended up crying and woke up the other 2 😔
The smile she has when she had the baby in the air and the hand motion the baby gave her when she wanted more of the bottle. The tender loving care that has gone into this game is definitely worth the wait.
You guys!!! You managed to capture the weight of the baby as it is shifted and the tenderness of an adult interacting with a newborn. OMG you don't know how exciting this is.
pretty sure there’s washing machines too iirc! they’re not functional but the decor is required for me, every house ive lived in had a washer in the kitchen and it feels weird for it to be all cabinets!
for those worried about the baby's appearance, it's worth mentioning that all this will be fine-tuned on the roadmap, so it will be corrected. Edit: of course the babies aren't bad and I know the paralives team is doing a great job, but the babies will be improved for they don't look grown up and don't look creepy.
@@liurabaum8746Yeah they are wrinkly and ugly so this is spot on. You can change most of the settings like skin color, blushes, intensity of lines anyway if you want an unrealistic cute baby.
@@liurabaum8746babies are cute, like, the have fluffy cheeks and loons funny. Not all babies ofc, but if you don't like babies it's just an opinion not a fact...
I'm curious to know if the babies will have blankets of their own in future works of this game :0 it'd be nice to see the little ones bundled up nice and warm in the winter time if it wouldn't be a hassle to work on 🤭 Edit: swaddle would definitely be better in the end- keeps the baby safe and cozy :]
Babies aren't really supposed to sleep with blankets as its a SIDS hazard. I wouldn't want the team to catch flack for promoting unsafe sleeping. BUT they could implement some warm baby clothes or swaddles instead!
@MyMooCowz1 Oh yeah that's absolutely fair! Sorry about that, I don't know how I forgot considering it's been a year since my niece was born 🌚maybe for of age toddlers instead-
@@gachatubergirl181 I think a baby blanket momento from the hospital would be a cute addition. And very realistic. Parent gets a birth certificate and a baby blanket to keep
Highly encourage folks to read the Patreon post in the description! It answers so many questions about the animation. Looking good so far! And imagining that this was a few months ago, I bet the animations are even more polished now 😁
So much cuteness! Especially loved seeing the baby grabbing for the bottle, and the mama bouncing a little while holding the baby (just about everyone moves like that when holding a baby). Also, loved that the baby's toy was a wooden spoon (having handed my kiddo a wooden spoon a few times when desperate to get them distracted while trying to finish making or eating dinner, heh).
Loving the animations, so adorable 🥺 I really hope to see LOTS of baby accessories like swings, swaddles, pacifiers, carriers, strollers, play-mats etc. Those special objects for babies makes them playable and realistic! Thank you to the team for being transparent and amazing developers!💗
GORGEOUS! 😍🥰 I'm so excited to be witnessing the devolepment of this game. Just an FYI - having stuffed animals, blankets, pillows or any of the kind in the crib is a choking hazard.
@@goldegreen No, the game is coming out as early access, and there will be bugs. And they are planning to basically get community input the whole time, as they get ready for the game to be full released. (The early access is open) This all makes me VERY NERVOUS, cause after Inzoi being a bit of a bust on lower end computers, and life by you completely blowing up, this is the only thing that might be able to compete with the sims, and the sims NEEDS a competitor to make it decide they need to do better.
@@user-th1pv6ks5o I don't see a reason to be worried, early access builds hype and I can see the community being more forgiving of bugs since the game is made by a small indie team that is very transparent and listens to the community. The timing is also good with early access coming in 2025. Many of the people who want to play inZOI but can't run it will try Paralives as an alternative.
@@user-th1pv6ks5o Inzoi has very strong graphics which you need a higher computer for, i'm pretty sure they are making it so even old computers can run paralives
The teddy in the crib.... OMG SOOOO CUTE 🥹❤ These animations are so heartwarming too, I can't wait to watch my paras take care of their babies ❤ Thanks for your work, you're incredible!!
I already love it more than sims 3 and 4 combined. What I’ve love in sims 2 was the depth of that game. Parents coming home and kids running to greet them. The couple spooning while sleeping. The love for detail is gone in sims 4
This type of passion is what made The Sims 2 so special. The Sims 4 has none of it. It's nice to see Paralives have the same passion as the former. They're really making something special. :)
I think what would make animations look/feel more realistic than anything is making it so your para doesn't always go back to facing their head straight towards the wall as the animation ends. I'm not sure how this could work but if there was a smoother animation sequence where Para's didn't robotically go back to head-on straight forward state, it would look and feel way less robotic! Kind of giving a para the seemingly never ending flow of living rather than obviously entering and exiting animations constantly just like sims 4...
I feel like the baby's eyes need to be averagely bigger, if that makes sense. But then again, that's just coming from a disney'fied child drawing perspective.
I love how the baby reaches for the bottle and how the adults carefully slide their hands beneath the baby when picking up. That's what life simulation is supposed to look like.
As for breastfeeding, you could put a nursing cover over the para and baby. Mostly as a way to censor instead of just the hand and the baby’s head covering up. Plus it would be fun to have different designs for the cover. Also loving the progress and I’m so excited to see it complete ❤🫶🎉
Hi ParaLives Team, In The Sims 2, the Sims would only wear the clothes they purchased. For example, a Sim would need to go to a clothing store, buy an outfit, and only then would it be available in their wardrobe. I'd love to see a similar system in ParaLives, where Parafolk can only wear clothes they purchase from stores. This would mean they can't wear any outfit for free from the full CAS menu. Additionally, it would be interesting if in-game currency had more utilities. For instance, objects and furniture should be purchasable in stores, and food and groceries should be more functional, with ingredients available in supermarkets. It would also be great to have features like credit cards and loans for Parafolk. But primarily, I hope for a clothing system where they can only wear what they've bought from stores, including shoes. Thanks!
I hope the paras are smart and doesn’t autonomously ignore the baby when it needs to sleep lmao
Or continuously pick it up when it’s fine 🙄

@@ajncjsmommy13 lmaoo I had this problem yesterday, the babies were all finally asleep until my sim took out his granddaughter put her on the ground and left. she ended up crying and woke up the other 2 😔
or put it on the floor and walk away forever
@humanbeing2136 I just leave them sleeping in the floor 🤣🤣
I just hope you can multitask like sit and watch tv while holding the baby
That was my exact thought when they showed breastfeeding. I hated breastfeeding while standing up, I always sat down.
The smile she has when she had the baby in the air and the hand motion the baby gave her when she wanted more of the bottle. The tender loving care that has gone into this game is definitely worth the wait.

Am so the only one eyeing that laundry basket? 👀😅 I'm so excited over the little things!

That's how real babies look like, so I like it. Hope they don't change it, babies are ugly af and we should normalise that 😂

what's wrong with the baby?
@@liurabaum8746babies are cute, like, the have fluffy cheeks and loons funny. Not all babies ofc, but if you don't like babies it's just an opinion not a fact...
For me the proportions feel off, like they have the size of a newborn but the appearance of a 1 year old baby, giving uncanny vibes

god i can't wait to play this game

The burping and rocking is so adorble!

Thanks for your work, you're incredible!!
Its so cute, amazing job i love itt !!!!
THIS ANIMATIONS ARE SO SATISFACTORY ❤
the baby looks so cute 😭😭😭
Animations look so smooth and natural, you are doing a great job. 😊
Cuuuute!
I keep being astonished with what you manage to create with such a small developer team!
OMG I WAS JUST THINKING ABT THIS
I'm already thinking of baby names for when I create my para 😊
Love the new features!!!
Aaaw. I love the style to your game so much. Can't wait to play it.
This is so wholesome ❤
The amount of detail from showcase to showcase is amazing. I really cant wait to see how the game plays when it comes out in early access!!!
Adorable!
Love the animations! Also 0:53 lmao floating baby. I know they're probably WIP/early animations but still funny to see Phoebe levitating the baby
The Little moon is so pretty
I love how careful adults are with the baby!! ❤
woah, so excited for when they'll release gameplay trailers some day
I'm going to love this game, I can feel it
Could you make it so we can at least also feed the babies while sitting down? That would be a dream come true!!
i love have the paras stand out from the background, it makes them feel more alive and necessary
I love how tiny the baby is 🥺 So cute ❤
Can't wait!
Loving the new animations!! Cannot wait to see everything as an almost full product in 2025!!

Guys I am begging please just release the build demo already I want to build in this game SO BAD
Early Access Next Year.
I’d much rather wait as long as they need! The longer the wait, the better the experience after all.
No build demo is planned, as a separate demo like that would take time away from the full game, but early acces is planned for sometime next year :)
@@IIAmorFatiIIany idea which month?
@@melindagallegan5093 i guess 3rd or 4th Quarter 🤔🤷♀️
They are so gentle 🥹
God I cannot WAIT for this to come out, LET ME GIVE YOU MY MONEY PARALIVES!
This is beyond adorable!
This type of passion is what made The Sims 2 so special. The Sims 4 has none of it. It's nice to see Paralives have the same passion as the former. They're really making something special. :)
I would recommend changes to the infant faces, at the moment that baby looks like a a middle-aged Englishman miniaturised.
Its a pleasure to see this game developing.
omg the cutest thing ever. Ahhh i cant wait for this game. i never been this excited for a game. yall did a amazing job.
These are amazing! ❤❤
The only thing I can’t get past is that the baby reminds me of Rockstar’s Bully… like a mini Jimmy Hopkins
it's worth mentioning that all this will be fine-tuned on the roadmap, so it will be corrected.
Ahhh cant wait!! Can you please also add little wild hedgehogs roaming around. They're endangered now 😢 i love them so much
This game will be so much fun

I love love looove the animations :D Adorable
I love it! ❤ I will definitely play this ❤
I love this! The animations are amazing sims could never! 😂👏🏾

SO CUTE! I cannot wait to play!
Soooo cute! Now please realese early access 😂❤❤
I am so excited for this game😊
These animations are amazing. Love all the baby interactions. Will that changing diaper animations be used for changing on the change table as well?
Wow 😮 I love these
this is beautiful I can't wait for the game release
The baby looks so old, make them look like actual babies
freaking adorable
this is so freaking cute!
I love the lil bounces!
So amazing looking forward to this game i just hope they aren’t like the sims 4 only stay in the cot
It looks like the adult paras are taking the baby in and out of the crib! It was hanging out on the ground at one point in the video too
Amazing can’t wait to play.
I am so psyched
Oh i am just so excited
IM EATING THIS UPPP
I cannot wait this is so cute!!!! And not to be that person, but I can’t have kids so this means a lot to me
