Live mode! After being so disappointed with TS4’s live mode, I am sooo excited to see how Paralives tackles it.
I’m super excited to break out of limitations with the build mode! There are so many aspects that looks like your creativity can really shine.
I look forward to all aspects of the game, but mostly the build mode! I can’t wait to make curved walls, especially.
Buildmode for sure
I am really excited for my girlfriend to get this game and make me and her in it. She really enjoys these types of games and I know she will have so much fun when she gets it. She has been talking about this game for ages and I can’t wait to watch her.
Live mode
I can’t wait for the build mode, the possibilities are endless, resizable, customizable, I am in love!
I’m the most excited for Paramaker! I absolutely love creating diverse and unique characters because, honestly, how your parafolks look totally sets the vibe for how interesting your gameplay is going to be.Plus, I’d love to focus on making base characters and people for the community. I know there are tons of gamers who dread character creation. I don’t blame them at all, it can literally take hours. Congrats on the early access and wish Paralives to be a very successful game.
I would like to try live mode first! Thank you for this opportunity ❤️
I’m the most excited for the original live mode features the Paralives team has thought up. Such as the storytellers, open-world setting, and the way personalities/habits manifest in Paras! So ready to play.
So keen for live mode!! Let the chaos begin
Definitely build mode. I had just gotten better at it in the sims so I’m excited
I’m most excited about the building tools! I’m mostly a builder in sims 4 and I’m so excited for all the new possibilities that paralives has to offer.
I can’t wait to try Paramaker, but I also want to do Live Mode.
Personally I’m probably gonna go nuts on the Paramaker first in Paralives. I hope to give my characters I have in the Sims even more distinctive features in Paralives!
I’m excited for paramaker the most. Character creation is always my favorite part of any game.
I can’t wait to try build mode!!
I am most excited to dive right into live-mode game play!
Paramaker
I would spend so much time playing with all the sliders and customisation in the Paramaker but I’m most excited about Live Mode. The storyteller and end of day cards excite me the most!
I am really looking forward to the build mode. It looks so much fun and everything is so cozy! It also looks considerably easier than Sims.
For me, I am a visual learner and Kinesthetic learner, so I would have to play live mode first to get use to the keys and understanding what each does. This also allows me to visualize how the game moves, tempo, etc. I can see what I could create later in the future. Live mode for me would be my best first true introduction to the game; excited!
I can’t wait to try buildmode it looks so detailed!
I am really excited for building!! I have never been much of a builder or designer in life simulation games but all of the features and customization in Paralives are definitely sure to change that!
I am absolutely vibrating with excitement to try Build mode out, but honestly the paramaker looks so darn good too! I cried about this game, earlier, that’s how much I can’t wait.
I want to try the Paramaker First!
I’m so excited for build mode, the possibilities are endless it looks like!
While the paramaker will logically be first, I’m looking forward to Live Mode. 🙂
I’m excited about all the modes, but will probably spend most of my time building, haha
The paramaker for sure!
So excited for build mode! So many more possibilities have been opened up, can’t wait to let my creativity flow with less limitations.
i am looking forward to build mode. i love designing houses and layouts. sometimes i get lost doing that forget to play the actual game, playing with the sims. >.<
I have heard Paramaker is really fun to play with and has a lot of details to it! I would like to try Paramaker first.
I am excited for live mode more than build mode. I am a terrible designer but interested in group hangouts!
