I would love to try the live mode first
I’m super keen to build a home for my Para person to then try Live Mode.
Been playing The Sims most of my life and I’m super excited about an alternative!!
Definitely build mode
live mode, catched my eye, i wanna see more of it, the game looks so cool.
Build mode
Build mode excited about using some of the features sims dosen’t have
I cant wait for live mode!!
As excited as I am for build and creat a para modes, I am most excited to try live mode and play the game.
I love custom characters so that will be my first go to!
I would like to try the Live mode! I saw it on Steam for the first time last year and i knew it has more diverse choices. Can’t wait to try it out.
Koniecznie tryb budowania
I’m curious about all modes, I’m sure paramaker will be the first though.
I am so excited to look into the build mode, I have noticed, that the measurements are counted in m, which I find very cool. I hope I can create very cool realistic buildings, like rebuilding my own apartment.
I’m very excited to try out the building!
I’ll defintely wanna start with the Paramaker, can’t wait!
I’m excited to experience the Live Mode! Seeing the gameplay trailer today made me so excited to just get into the game and create stories!
I’m really looking forward to the build mode.
I’m most exited for the building system and the grid less placement options
I am looking forward to live mode the most but will need to go to the para maker first to create a para.
I am SO excited to just jump straight into live mode!
I am a huge fan of The Sims 2 and I’m still playing it, because it allows me to play in my favourite style – rotationally. It makes me invested in all of the playable characters and the whole town with creating stories between families.
Seeing the new gameplay trailer and all of the settings you can turn on/off made me realise I will probably be able to play rotationally without any additional mods or setup, unlike The Sims 3 or The Sims 4. This made me 1000 times more excited to play and I’ve been waiting for Paralives for 7 years now!
The live mode!
I cant wait to make the paras they look so cute !!
I probably try the build mode first!
I need know new city Melino and build! Thanks you!
Definitely the Paramaker! But I’m also super excited about the building mode.
Build mode !
I cannot wait to try live mode!!!
Looking forward to the build mode for the adaptive changes you made that differ from other life Sim games!
Build mode
Curieus to the build mode
Live Mode: I would spend too much time making the actual hosue that I would finish and not want to play the live mode lol. So I hope Paralives’s live mode brings the urge to keep going after the incredible build mode.
Live mode for me!!!
Thank you
Looking forward to the gameplay especially being able to do things around the world, starting a family, going to work and school and there’s the bills cannot wait to pay them hahah haven’t been more excited.
I definitely look forward to trying build more more than live mode. <3
Paramaker!!
Build Mode definitely
Definitely Buildmode
I’d 100% jump into Live Mode first. Paramaker’s cool for messing with looks and Build Mode’s fun if you’re into designing houses, but honestly I just wanna see my Paras vibin’, and doing random goofy stuff together. Like, imagine them chilling at a party, and pulling pranks. Wayyy more entertaining than tweaking furniture or hairstyles all day. Live Mode is where the chaos and the laughs happen, and that’s the kinda energy I’m here for.
Live mode, can’t wait!
definitely can’t wait to make my first Para & live first! but the build mode looks so exciting too!
I wish to try build mode first! It looks like it give much more freedom than Sims so I’m excited for this!
I’m modt excited for live mode so I’m hoping for a Bob Newbie style tutorial household so I can leap straight in and play!
I’d love to do live mode
The build mode is my roman empire
Live Mode
I am so excited about this game, I can’t wait to try everything! build mode is very promising but I’m also so curious about live mode!
I will try out build mode first! Thank you for hosting!
I’d love testing out making create a paralife and see what it all has to offer in making a family
I’m most excited for live mode!
I’m so exited about the possibilities through gameplay, to see how we can create our own stories
