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!
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!
Build mode 100%
I’d love to try the build mode! It looks so customisable
So excited to explore the town in the live mode. I am waiting this game to come out for many years !
I love the colorwheel and all the building options there are. Canโt wait to play this game
Build mode !
build mode! gonna build my coastal living dream house!
Iโm 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!
Love creating and building. Can’t wait for this to come out and try the build mode
Very excited! I cant wait to create families and just check ou the gameplay
Iโm 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 thereโs endless gameplay and it can be an amazing creative outlet. Of course, Iโm exited to experience all of the gameplay, but being able to let my imagination run wild, and get creative in new ways other games havenโt allowed me to, makes me so excited to get started!
Build mode definitely!! I enjoy building in games and the build mode in paralives seems so good, I can’t wait to try it!
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.
I’m so excited for the gameplay!!!
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.
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 โค๏ธ I love how detailed you can get with exactly how you want your gameplay to go!
I’m excited for live mode and character customization! I’m so curious to see another take on a life simulation game!!
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!
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.
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!!!)
Paralives looks fine, but it also looksโฆ boring. Not bad, just a basic life simulator. What made The Sims (especially 1 and 2) special wasnโt โlife 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 Simsโlike that brings back the weird, chaotic, whimsical tone of the early series.
I’m so excited for to see how the item resizing works!!!!
I’m excited for the vast genetics system and the potential growth.
I am excited for Live mode! I can’t wait to discover the town and tell many stories.
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!!
Iโm so excited for build mode! The curvable walls and adjustable windows are the best feature Iโve seen ๐
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.
Iโm excited for live mode the most as im a storyteller! Iโm so curious to see another take on a life simulation game!!
Jโai hate de dรฉcouvrir le gameplay !
I’m looking forward to trying out the build mode first, the tools and freedom just look so satisfying!
Live mode! I want to complete allllll the collections.
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!
Live mode, for sure!
I’m so excited to try out live mode with the open world ๐ But knowing me, I will spend half a day in the paramaker first lol
I want to try the social aspect of Paralives, the card system seems so look and dynamic reacting to the environment, skills, relationship…
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!!
really excited to use the paramaker, but the gameplay & build modes are refreshing to look at & I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy to experience it all
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!
I canโt wait to try live mode!
Iโm most excited for paramaker !!!
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!
Iโm excited for build mode, Iโve missed my girl color wheellll!
Iven been watching development since 2019. I can’t wait for live mode. The interactions seem actually good. That new trailer made me a little emotional lol
Definitely build mode! It’s my favorite in ANY LifeSim game
Iโve been waiting for Paralives for years! So, Iโm really excited about everything, but I think Iโm really stoked to try out the build mode first since it seems so much more free when compared to the Sims build mode.
i am very excited about paramaker! ty for the chance!
im most excited for the color wheel in the create mode!
I really wanna try the paramaker first to make my character!! But I’m also really excited for all available features
