Build mode!! But will most likely start with paramaker of course
Paramaker! While I’m super excited for build-mode, I’ve gotta make a family/para first!!
I am most excited about building in the game, it sees like there will be a lot more freedom in the structure
Build mode for sure, I can’t wait to spend hours building different houses etc. but I am also excited for the paramaker and live mode!
I am so excited for every feature, but especially build mode! i love the customizability the game provides and i can’t wait to play around with it!
Build mode! That’s what caught my eye when I first found out about this game. I’ve been a long time Sims player and building is one of my favorite things to do. I’m really excited about this!!
Live mode. Been following the development for years and live mode is the aspect I’m most anticipating, though I’ll spend hours in the paramaker before i get to that point lmao.
The game aspect that I am more interested in is pretty much live mode and Paramaker. For me, creating a person in any game takes at least about two hours. I need to know what style goes with which what color is the hair, and does she look cool or does she look amazing? Even the name has to be perfect. Needs to be original and in live mode I enjoy having control of storytelling, deciding what decision they should make how many friends kids and affairs they can have
I want to use the paramaker first!
Live mode!
To be honest it’s hard to pick which one in particular I’m excited for because I’m excited for the game!
But if I have to pick one I think I’m excited for the build mode, to see how far the limit can be pushed and the freedom of building!
I cannot wait to try the paramaker. I’ve always loved making characters and build stories around them!
Build mode definitely! Been making my horrible houses in sims 1 since I was 7 and it inspired me to become an architect!
Im so excited to try both but id likely end up in build mode first. I have a tendancy to make my life in your gams swhat id love to have it in reality…..including where i live.
I am most excited for build mode! I am not very good at building in any game, but I still love trying to figure it out!
i would like to build! this is FUTURE! thank you so much!
Live Mode! Love creating characters and making up stories with them <3
Build mode! I love the slide sizing – it’s probably the one thing I want to try the most! So many great opportunities to customize!
Paramaker, for sure! But honestly, can’t wait to try all of it.
Live mode!
I really want to try Live Mode!
I’m looking forward to the gameplay i can’t wait for make a generation of New characters maybe in alphabetical order
I’m most looking forward to build mode. From the gameplay revealed it looks really fun and intuitive!
Build mode ! can’t wait to make great buildings
Definitely LIVE mode because the build mode isn’t very complete at first. Im probably not going to be doing many curved walls until windows can go on them? Not sure how a huge curved wall w no window is gonna look
100% build mode! I am a girl of all interests so I am sure I would adore every single aspect of the game!!!
Build mode looks so fun and detailed!
I’m most excited for Live Mode!
Paramaker, I do want to try it all honestly, hahaha but creating the Para is one of the things I wanna try first
live mode for sure
Paramaker, character customization has always been my favorite part of gaming.
I am so excited to try out build mode!
i can’t wait to try to make my family in the paramaker but also experimenting with the in depth build tools!
I already know I‘m gonna spend SO much time in the paramaker
i’m most excited to try paramaker first! this is where the storytelling begins for me, so i love designing characters
Paramaker. Can’t wait to create my para-self
