I’m definitely excited for all of it!! But I am especially excited for Build Mode since there’s SO MANY ways to customize objects. I love decorating the houses and lots so this will be game changing for me!

Kane

Live mode for sure.
If Sims 4 lacks something it is the gameplay and from what we saw in the gameplay trailer they’re really aiming for it to be fun and just as important as the buildmode and paramaker!

Stephanie

Build mode 100%

Liz

I’d love to try the build mode! It looks so customisable

Agnes

So excited to explore the town in the live mode. I am waiting this game to come out for many years !

Jacotte

gabi

build mode! gonna build my coastal living dream house!

Stephanie Foster

Iโ€™m excited for the live mode aspect! I love to see things play out with raising a family, working, exploring the town. The Storytelling aspect also looks amazing. Thank you for the chance to win!

Cameron

Love creating and building. Can’t wait for this to come out and try the build mode

BookNookJordii

Very excited! I cant wait to create families and just check ou the gameplay

Madysen Holt

Iโ€™m most excited for build mode. I love interior design and the fact that the game features so much creativity makes me beyond excited to get started. Being able to customize certain items so they can accent each other means thereโ€™s endless gameplay and it can be an amazing creative outlet. Of course, Iโ€™m exited to experience all of the gameplay, but being able to let my imagination run wild, and get creative in new ways other games havenโ€™t allowed me to, makes me so excited to get started!

Alicia

Build mode definitely!! I enjoy building in games and the build mode in paralives seems so good, I can’t wait to try it!

m00nis

I’ve been following the game since 2019, and I’m really excited to try out the whole game, but if I had to pick just one thing, it would definitely be the build mode and its endless possibilities.

Sandra

I’m so excited for the gameplay!!!

LadyIo

I’m so excited! I want to try out all 3 but I especially want to try out build mode to see if I can build some 1920’s style houses/lots. I’ve been making a sims 4 20’sish save file and it’s so tricky without customisation tools. Of course the next thing to try is gameplay! Thank you for offering this giveaway.

Nephie

Im excited about all of the customization freedom that we will have with the paras and world, the personality development you can have, and the story each other aspects we saw in the trailer are so fun โค๏ธ I love how detailed you can get with exactly how you want your gameplay to go!

dileufruit

I’m excited for live mode and character customization! I’m so curious to see another take on a life simulation game!!

Andyy15

Paramaker and Live mode Parafolk have unique personalities that make the game look like so much fun to play and really add depth to the gameplay!

Jasmine

I’m excited for every part of this game! I know I want to mess around with creating a Parafolk the most, but I know I want to try the building mode second! I’m excited to see how unique furniture and decor can be.

Lex

I am sososososo excited for everything about this game oh my goodness! I’m most excited to try the paramaker and customise the characters (especially the height slider!!!)

zeraora89

Paralives looks fine, but it also looksโ€ฆ boring. Not bad, just a basic life simulator. What made The Sims (especially 1 and 2) special wasnโ€™t โ€˜life simโ€™ stuff, it was the whimsy and chaos: weird NPCs, surreal humor, unpredictable AI, and that slightly unhinged Maxis energy.
Paralives feels like a clone of The Sims 4 grounded vibe instead of taking inspiration from the original games that were actually magical. I wish someone would make a Simsโ€‘like that brings back the weird, chaotic, whimsical tone of the early series.

Ashley DuVall

I’m so excited for to see how the item resizing works!!!!

Amiee

I’m excited for the vast genetics system and the potential growth.

xxstarkissxx

I am excited for Live mode! I can’t wait to discover the town and tell many stories.

Ella

There’s SO MANY things I’m excited for with Paralives to be honest but I’m weirdly hyped to create a para with that MUSHROOM HAT!!

Jon

Iโ€™m so excited for build mode! The curvable walls and adjustable windows are the best feature Iโ€™ve seen ๐Ÿ™‚

Shadecoy

From what I’ve seen so far, I am beyond excited for the build mode. The fact that we can do so much customization in comparison to other life sims is so exciting! I’m also excited to see how the pets related mechanics work, from the paramaker to live mode.

Artur

Iโ€™m excited for live mode the most as im a storyteller! Iโ€™m so curious to see another take on a life simulation game!!

manons277

Jโ€™ai hate de dรฉcouvrir le gameplay !

Erica

I’m looking forward to trying out the build mode first, the tools and freedom just look so satisfying!

Ashley

Live mode! I want to complete allllll the collections.

Tiffany Walker

I’m excited for the whole game but I think I’m most interested in live mode! I’m not much of a builder in Sims, and im exited to see all of the base game options straight from the get go!

paw

Live mode, for sure!

Sara

I’m so excited to try out live mode with the open world ๐Ÿ˜€ But knowing me, I will spend half a day in the paramaker first lol

David

I want to try the social aspect of Paralives, the card system seems so look and dynamic reacting to the environment, skills, relationship…

jhannigonzalez

i’m excited about all aspects of the game, i think it could be become one of my top favorite life sim games. i’m so excited to try out build mode because i feel like it’s so refreshing to build something without almost to no restrictions plus im so excited to try out the color wheel option too since it was my favorite part when i would play sims 3 when i was kid!!

Jaqi Holloway

So excited to try the build mode! Resizing everything is going to be game changing!

I’m really looking forward for Build Mode, ever since i saw how flexible it is, i’ve been wanting to create my OC’s house there. I can’t wait to see it come to life!

Is Paramaker like the CAS aspect? If so, I’d love that! I spend hours making my characters all decked out haha. I’d love to try Paramaker then!

Definitely build mode! It’s my favorite in ANY LifeSim game

Emcee

Iโ€™ve been waiting for Paralives for years! So, Iโ€™m really excited about everything, but I think Iโ€™m really stoked to try out the build mode first since it seems so much more free when compared to the Sims build mode.
