I am most excited for Build Mode. The noise I made watching the windows and couch get literally resized was probably concerning to others. But I can not WAIT. Of course the Paramaker will be exciting with how in depth customization looks, but thereโs something about more freedom with architecture.
Paramaker! So curious about the character customisation
I am looking forward to the paramaker and build mode!
I am super excited about the paramaker mode! While all of the other aspect of the games seem super exciting to me, the way the game has it setup for creating your para looks very in depth and fun to play with!
Canโt wait to play around with paramaker! Gonna spend hours making everything perfect
Paramaker!
Build mode! Itโs the feature that caught my attention all those years ago and has kept me following for updates. I canโt wait!
I would love to try the build mode first
Definitely build mode – I’ve been waiting for years to try it, so happy there’s only five more sleeps until I finally can give it a go!
Paramaker!
So excited to try everything!! The paramaker, build mode, the storyteller, relationships, work/school, all the cute fun little things this game has to offer and pretty much just everything !!! Been supporting this game for 7 years and to finally see it come out like this, I’m so happy for the devs and excited to try out all the features that are available, no matter what they are!!โค๏ธโค๏ธ
Build mode definitely has piqued my interest!
Live mode! I’m excited to discover the town and strolling around with my Paras!
Hello, definitely would start with Live mode to explore the new intriguing Melino world and all the builds and game itself before attempting to build or create Para.
Live mode! Canโt wait to create families.
I’m most excited for a game that can FINALLY compete with the Sims!! And also the paramaker function, of course!!
I’m so excited to finally be able to test out the build mode.I’ve been waiting to get my greedy little hands on the object scaling tools from the bed and window showcase, as well as all the cool little building interactions.
I would love to try Paramaker first to build my family life based on their personalities. They deserve the best ๐
Although I will spend hours in Paramaker and Build Mode, I’m most excited about Live Mode. I want to explore and discover every little secret and the simple details that make the world feel alive
Why not both it’ll really depend on my mood for the day if Iโm more drawn towards building or gameplay!
Im so excited about the open world and all the JAZZ the town looks stunning and i know throught the early access the game will grow massively
paramaker is what iโm definitely going to spend the most time on first !! iโm so excited to create my first para and then explore the beautiful city of melino !!!
i am most excited for the paramaker!
I honestly can’t wait to try Paramaker. It’s my fav thing to create my own characters in games
ParaMaker! I love creating unique characters!
Paramaker! I love creating characters, but Build Mode has me very intrigued.
Live mode! Wanna see how many interactions people are going to have and how real they gonna be
Paramaker 100% is what I look forward to the most. The whole style gives off a sketchy feel, such as sketchbook vibes. I used to draw a lot traditionally, and now digitally. I can’t wait!
I am actually very interested in the live mode experience!
Paramaker!! Iโm beyond excited for the customisation options! Canโt wait to make a whole world of parafolk ๐
Paramaker
Definitely the Paramaker! The thing I’m most excited about is seeing how accurate I can get the Paras to how I imagine my characters!
Cant even choose which mode I’m most excited about!!!
First of course the paramker – I can spend hours creating characters and their background stories.
Second – as an architect I loove to explore build modes in different games.
Paramaker <3
I’m excited for the Paramaker!! It’s so in depth and looks really cool already
Build mode!
I canโt wait for the build mode!! Iโve been waiting for this game for so long!
I’m most excited about build mode and all the customization tools!
The whole game! I waited for years. If i have to choose: build Mode. The flexibility looks amazing. I want to do all the Things i miss in sims4.
It has to be Build Mode! Can’t wait for these customisable furniture pieces!!
I’m so excited to try out the Paramaker! I can’t wait to customize my Paras and bring them to life. I also can’t wait to build, hopefully with less limits compared to other games!
I want to try build mode, but I’m also VERY excited for live mode!
Build mode for sure! Thatโs the main reason i played sims. Though Im excited to play the main game as well!
Honestly Iโm excited to try EVERYTHING! Iโve been following this game development for quite sometime and now itโll be here in 5 days!! Can we say โSTOKEDโ! Iโve made plenty of room on my PC just for this. I know in the months and years to come this game will be EPIC. THANK YOU THE GAME DEVELOPERS!
I want to try out Paralives build mode first. I would love to recreate my childhood homes in a life sim game and the added flexibility of Paralives build mode would help with that. I also loved creating houses in an old software called 3D Home Architect when I was in middle school and would love to try designing creative houses and other buildings in a game where i do not have to pay an arm and a leg for even the most basic architectural options.
I literally just found out about this game and I cannot wait!!! Iโm super excited to try live mode for myself!
I am really excited for all of them but I think I am the most excited for paramaker! I absolutely love character customization and enjoy making original characters and people I know! I have been following the development of this game for so long and I am so happy with how far it has come. I can not wait to play this and create me and my boyfriend ๐
Stoked for the Paramaker.
First thing I will do is creating my Para self (and my whole family) in the Paramaker! I think the art style is so cute and I’m confident I’ll be able to make Para lookalikes pretty easily with all the customisation tools! So excited!
Definitely Live Mode
