While Paralives hasn’t released its early access yet, players have already taken a look at how the game looks and works through YouTube gameplay videos and other coverage like ours (check out everything we’ve already covered here).
A recent hot topic in the Paralives community is the appearance of babies. One Reddit user made a post breaking down why some players find them “uncanny” and offered suggestions for how the Paralives team could enhance their design.
Let’s take a look at the post!
The Paralives Community post on Reddit
In a recent Reddit post titled “I think i figured out why Paralives Babies Feel Uncanny”, a Reddit user raised some arguments about the look of babies and how the Paralives team could make improvements to them, opening up the conversation for the Paralives community on Reddit:
I think i figured out why Paralives Babies Feel Uncanny
“I’ve seen several people mention that paralives babies feel weird looking or uncanny, i always noticed a few details here and there on the videos the devs shared but is way easier to fix that it seems, changing some base body proportions and lines makes a big difference.
I grew up playing the sims, dont play it since like 6 years ago for obvious reasons (got so boring and shallow) then i found Paralives and I fell in love with the art direction and the attention to details all the heart being put on it, im buying it on the first day and cant wait to help give shape to this amazing project with feedback, world creations and art 🤗❤️ Hopefully this post gets to the devs somehow so they can consider and adress the issues i mention. Go team good luck just 1 more day⏳️🗓🏡💫“
