Most definitely the build mode. This was the first teaser game play I saw years ago and loved how the build items interacted with each other and made something unique. Many developers are trying various ways to re-create the sims,but Paralives appears to be intentional with all aspects and is focused on being its own game and isnt too focused on not being something else. Because of this, im really interested to play live mode also! I saw a sneek peak of it from one of the creators yesterday I believe. Thoughtful, Interative and appears to build off synergy. Im stoked & hope everyone is patient while they work on new bugs!
Build mode for sure! In the sims I was mainly building whole worlds and neighbourhoods by myself, so I can’t wait to give it a go in Paralives ❤️
Paramaker first of all 😀
I would try Live Mode first!Been waiting for this game since it was announced many years ago. Would love to play it!
I’m really curious about the Paramaker, especially the different heights options,
I will buy it either way, but if I get it gifted it’s even more great!
Build mode for sure! Let’s gooooooo
I’ve followed Paralives since the very beginning and I cannot say how excited am I that the premiere is so soon! I’m excited the most by the live mode – I love playing the sims and sims-like games to create unique stories; so it will be obviously the first aspect of the game I’d like to try!
I’d definitely go for paramaker! So exciting!
i want a little bit of it all! – but probably first will be Live mode with preexisting Paras to get the hang of things
I’m most excited for live mode!
I most excited for the customization!! It looks sooo good!
I can’t wait to mess with build mode; once I heard split level I’m going to be building some houses. I haven’t enjoyed building since sims 2.
100% Paramaker for me. I keep accidentally calling it Para creator. My memory is not helping.
I do absolutely want to try it first though! I am intrigued by live mode and build mode but my heart has always been set on making characters before playing with them or building out their homes. I’d definitely be interested in trying build mode though as with all the possibilities I might actually be able to create exactly what I picture. Again Para comes first then the rest would follow!
Thank you so much for the opportunity!! ❤️❤️
Live mode! I am such a gameplay type of player so I can’t wait to get stuck in and explore. However I see the way build mode is, I wonder if it will encourage me to be more experimental with builds!
Live mode.
I’m eager to try out CAS more, because I enjoy making characters more than houses, but I also want to see the limits of building. In Inzoi I wanted to make round houses, and in Paralives it’s finally possible! And it really does seem to have more content, be more entertaining, and more complete than I expected.
Each aspect of paralives sounds so fun, but if I have to choose I would probably go with the paramaker. I’m excited to see all the choices surrounding what types of relationships you can create between para’s and how different the para’s can look from one another. I stopped playing the Sims4 for the most part 3 years or so ago when they started making the game more mobile ified if that makes sense and I haven’t looked back but I am really excited to have something that I can enjoy playing in my free time that fills that niche.
Live mode! The social bar is a great innovation, finally we can feel like we’re telling a story, the city looks beautiful too
I’m excited to try build mode, I’d love to see how accurately I can recreate my own house/garden!
Yeah I think I should win at least one of the three copies, given that I spent over 150 to have my likeness put into the game as a random NPC and since I missed the deadline they said there’s nothing they can do. I spent 150 dollars for no incentives, no rewards, and most importantly no copy of the game. Thank you for your consideration. -Gen Z Gooner Tyler F.
Trying Build Mode first!
I live building so paramaker build mode for sure but live mode sounds like a lot of fun and the style is so cool
Obviously pramaker! I really want to create my ocs with it <3
Live Mode!
Just saw the gameplay trailer, and I would like to try the Live Mode, thank you so much for the opportunity and for always hosting Giveaways like this!♥
Paramaker since I love designing characters
Bonus points if I can customize outfits aswell
Paramaker!
I love the game graphics and exciting to see how the job system is works there.
I am most excited about Live Mode. The art style is so unique for a life simulation game. I am curious about the animations and the options for gameplay. Watching the recent gameplay video on YouTube gave me the same sort of excitement I felt when I played the Sims 1 so many years ago. I really look forward to playing it!
Super excited for Build Mode! There’s so many promising features in every mode though so it’s hard to choose!
Build mode 🙂
Paramaker!
build mode!
Cannot wait to try Build mode 🙂 So happy the game is finally out!
Excited for the genetics system
Honestly, all of them! If I had to choose though, paramaker – I spend so much time in CAS! I’m so excited to get my hands on this game – watching through the development on Pateron has been so cool!
Build Mode! It looks so fun!
Build Mode! So excited to build my dream house.
Build mode!
Build mode for sure!
Im looking forward to live mode!
I am so excited for the Paramaker. I want to create new characters with unique features both physically and as traits.
It’s hard to pick one aspect I’m most excited about, the paramaker looks so fun, I already know I’m gonna spend hours in build mode, but I’m so excited to see how live mode plays out and to see how it changes and improves as the game gets updated!
Build mode for sure!
I’m so excited to try the build mode! It’s clear how much effort they’ve put into making the game amazing
I can’t wait to try Build Mode !
Paramaker! Out of all The Sims games and in Inzoi, I’ve spent the most time in the creators so I am excited to see what Paralives is offering inside the Paramaker.
Build mode! I’ve been playing life Sims since I was a kid but paralives has so many unique features. The way you can just grab and stretch pieces is crazy.
I would try out the Paramaker first!
Personally I think it would have to go Paramaker -> Buildmode -> Live Mode.
