I think I am most excited to try build mode first
I would love to try out live mode first!
I’m most excited for the paramaker! I’ve missed having good character creation.
I am most excited for the Paramaker! To explore making different age ranges, gender identities, family dynamics and also the height sliders!!! OMG, so excited about that. Also of course, looking forward to gameplay.
Build mode 100%. I absolutely love building home and customizing them. And now I get to use a color wheel to make literally any customization I want! I can’t wait!
I am definitely planning on spending hours building homes and exploring the map!
I can’t wait for live mode, particularly the relationship aspects and exploring this new town.
The paramaker 1000%
I’m excited to try the Paramaker first. I mean, you can’t get further into the game without first creating a character.
I’ll definitely spend HOURS on the paramaker first, but then I’ll spend even more hours on the build mode! I cannot wait to try all the features Paralives has to offer!!
So excited to try out live mode and explore the adorable Paralives town! Already a big fan of the opening scene and intro to gameplay!
I am most excited for the live mode!! I’m all about living a cozy life with my paras <333
I want to explore all the paramaker options in order to make unique paras.
I am most looking forward to build mode!
im superrrr excited for live mode although paramaker is a close tie! i love making cute characters and having them do unhinged things lol
so excited for the paramaker! the art style is so beautiful
Definitely the paramaker!! I’m excited to see what types of customization we get 🙂
build mode! so so exciting
Definitely excited for build mode, that’s what I would try first. I’m also curious about the character customisation and how they will add stories to the characters
I think I’m the most excited for paramaker as I’ve been looking forward for a new way for character creation.
Build mode, I’m so excited for it! Usually I’d be more excited about the paramaker, haha.
Live mode me please
I can not WAIT for build mode. I have over 5000 hours into the Sims 4 so I’m interested in trying a new simulation game
i’m most excited for paramaker!
I am excited for build mode and all the customisation that you can do from changing sizes of windows to full colour wheel for furniture.
Paramaker
I’m most excited about the interactions with the town and gameplay
I’d love to try out the build mode. I’m excited about the curved walls and you can decide how big or small the windows will be as well as the color wheel.
Paramaker!!
I would love to try this! I love the Sims but lately I been having issues!
Definitely build mode! It all looks amazing, but the customization in build mode is everything I’ve wanted for so long!
I’m looking forward to Build Mode the most! I love building and decorating and I am looking forward to the different features you offer.
I’m really excited for Live Mode, it looks so entertaining and I love the little pop-ups in the middle of conversations where you can pick what to say next, it makes it so immersive, and also I love the branched skills!!! In general, I’m reaaaally excited for the whole game but I wanna go right away to Live Mode:))
I’m beyond excited for Build Mode because wdym I can click and drag to resize couches, windows, plants and objects!? Amazing. Colour wheel and curved walls is amazing as well!! Of course Paramaker intrigues me because of the height adjustment and the customization, and the storytelling in Live Mode looks to be incredible! But if I had to choose one, definitely Build Mode!!
I am so excited for Paramaker. I could spend hours making the cutest people.
I am excited for paramaker because of the diverse features and life stages like preteens!
I love live mode! I’m so excited to see how the paras interact with each other and the world!!
Paramaker! The customization looks so inclusive and I’m beyond excited for it.
Im so excited for the build mode and the seemingly endless possibilities!
Live mode ☺️ After seeing Sebastian and his young son on the train I feel compelled to woo him as a single Mom
I’ve been following Paralives updates for years! I’m really excited to play it someday, make families, discover hidden lore, build out their homes, play out their lives. And explore everything, the game has to offer.
Super excited for this!
I’m most excited about the paramaker. Genuinely cannot wait.
I’m curious about the live mode and how the sims interact with eachother and how their interactions are different/if they are different from one para to the other
I’m most excited about paralives live mode. I really want to see how we can shape the para’s lives and how we can dictate their choices to navigate their story. I really want to see the different stories I can create with each para.
The customization looks so great, just the color wheel alone made me excited, not to mention the height and weight customization.
Live Mode! I’m not a builder haha
I’m most excited for Paramaker!
Definitely build mode!!!
I’ve been waiting for this game for years, been following the progress for a long time and I’ve long wishlisted it on my steam! I am mostly excited about the vast customization available so I am definitely trying the build mode, and I love interior designing homes so I am excited what this game can bring! I would love to win a copy and I know it is not the final product as mentioned but I wouldn’t mind stability issues, rather contribute to what it can improve on.
