I’m def most excited to try out the Paramaker, but the builder is up there too!! So many detailed features and customization, I can’t wait!
I’m very excited for both but I think I’m more excited for the build mode
Build Mode. I spent such a crazy amount of time on it in The Sims. I once considered following a career in architecture and was driven by it. I am an artist, so sometimes I miss building and decorating houses.
Build mode! I’m excited for more building freedom and customisable things!
Oh gosh, that’s a tough question to answer! I can’t wait to experience it all but I think I’m most excited about build mode. I’m so keen to experience something new!
I am so excited to for the build mode!!!
im always looking most forward for the character builder in any game!!!
Most excited to try paramaker!
Absolutely the paramaker, it looks so good!
Estoy encantada con el modo construir, lo intuitivo que puede ser, todo con lo que podemos decorar. En el Gameplay la personalizaciรณn que van tomando nuestros Paras con la interacciรณn y el hacer diferentes actividades. Y el poder reorganizar la lista de actividades. WOW
Build mode!
Paramaker for sure, can’t wait!
I’m very excited to to try the customization and I know my fiancรฉe is too! I’m probably gonna gift her the free copy if I win because she’s been even more excited about this game then me!
Watching the Paralives videos, I fell in love with the buy and build mode. But also with the live mode and the possibility of having a different story every day thanks to the 3 “figures”.
Iโve been waiting for this game for 7 years! Iโm so excited!
Im excited to try the livemode, i wanna see what i can do and how i can make little stories!
I’m very excited to build with the infinite tool that Paralives have
Hard choice, but I’m torn between Paramaker and Live Mode. I really love the art style and want to customize the characters, but exploring the open world in Live Mode sounds so good too! I think the Paramaker would be first, can’t wait.
I am very excited to try the Paramaker and create a family.
Live Mode!!! I need to see how long it takes before my Para starts emotionally spiralling, surviving on instant noodles, flirting with the wrong person, and redecorating their entire apartment at 2am instead of fixing their life. Basically: realistic gameplay!!!
I’m most excites to try the paramaker! So much personnalisation!
Excited for paramaker
Im excited to try build mode and live mode
im so excited for all of it more so the para maker and build mode it’s so beautiful tbh
I’m most excited for live mode! Excited to see the gameplay!
Build mode!
I am most excited about gameplay and to see the beautiful world!
looking forward to everything but I’ll definitely start off with spending hours in the paramaker
I am very excited for the Build Mode in Paralives! I am a long time sims player and a big fan of architecture. I can’t wait to try out the build features. I just finished watching James Turner try out the build features and he mentioned it was exciting to have a new ‘sims’ game to learn about. I couldn’t agree more!
Paramaker for sure
paramaker because they all look so cute!
Honestly I’m excited about everything. But I’m probably looking forward to the Live mode the most.
I am most excited about live mode. Just watched the gameplay video you released and looks so good ๐
I’m super excited about creating paras and all the creative possibilities the game offers
I would want to try the Paramaker first. I love getting in depth with my character creation, so seeing what that has to offer would be my first go to! Then Builder and Live!
The build mode aswell as the create a para
most excited to try the build mode ๐
I am most excited to try out the live mode and see what new opportunities they have available in paralives!
Hmm, this one is tough. I think I’m most excited to build. There seems to be a lot of customization, I just wonder how intuitive it is, or if it’s complicated to figure out.
The first thing I am going to try is the Paramaker. I love to create characters or recreate favorite characters. I’m so excited for the whole game.
I am SO excited in general, but Iโm most excited for the build mode. It looks so detailed! I love how unrestricted it seems.
Definitely the paramaker!! x
I’d love to try build mode. I never quite got on with sims build mode, so, here’s hoping this one is more enjoyable for me ๐ ๐ ๐
I’m really excited to try build mode and paramaker mode, in that order!
So excited to try the build mode!!
Iโm really excited for both but I can’t way to try all the options of the build mode!
Iโm excited for all of it, but I think especially the Live Mode!
Iโm honestly most excited to try the Build Mode first! The building system looks incredibly innovative and creative, and I love how much freedom it seems to give players. The cozy atmosphere and beautiful art style already make the whole game feel so relaxing and immersive.
After following Paralives so closely for so many years, you can truly feel the passion and love behind this project in every trailer theyโve shared. Thatโs why Iโll happily support this game from day one
Iโd try Live Mode first, because I want to meet the Paras I create in their natural chaos. Building is fun, but watching their little personalities, routines, and surprises unfold is where the real magic starts for me! <3
The building! I joined the patreon back in 2020 when I saw the customisation options for kitchen counters – thats literally all it took to get me hooked lol and COLOUR WHEEEEEEEL
