Paralives Update: July 2nd, 2026 Patch Notes

New

• Smaller save files: New save files will now be 30MB in average instead of 500MB.
• Multiple autosaves: The autosave feature will now keep the 3 last versions of each save file, allowing players to go back to a previous version in the Load Game menu.
• Steam Cloud: Save files can now be synced on Steam Cloud to easily continue playing on a different computer.
• Lot Changes: Players can now revert lots to their original look.
• Paramaker Music: When zoomed-in, the music changes to a simpler, softer version of the track to create a feeling of closeness with your Para.
• Edit Appearance: Players will now be able to freely edit their Paras by looking into a mirror or by going to the hospital and pharmacy. This includes all options available in the Paramaker except for labels, personalities, and lifestages.
• New picture frame artworks: About 40 new images have been added to frame artwork.
• More Custom Image Assets: You can now add custom images to mugs, rugs, skateboards, curtains, cushions and flags.
• Hand and Bath Towel Items: Added 4 new items that were sorely needed for bathrooms.
• Mods Quality of Life: Added a toggle all on/off button in the mods menu.
• Train Paramaker Visual Change: We have removed the panel in favor of a set of curtains to favorise readability.
• New baby presets: Added new babies to the randomizer
• Updated Label UI: Made light adjustments to the Label UI in the Paramaker
• Late to Work: Being late to work (or school) by cancelling the Go To Work action now incurs a performance penalty.

Bug Fixes

• Paras that are in a relationship will no longer become embarrassed when using the toilet while their partner is in the bathroom.
• Some missing animations from eating food have been corrected.
• Art Bundle 2 is now correctly fixed. We have also lowered the value of the painting needed for the completion of the bundle.

• Water recyclers, wind turbines or solar panels being on your terrain now reduce your bills.
• Propose and Elope for the Happy Marriage life goal should now be completed properly.
• Cancelling Go to Work/School no longer queues up the action every 20 minutes.
• Roberto should now properly show up as the master of most skills in the town hall.
• Fixed an issue where some Player Paras ended up being unloaded from the game.
• Removed teeth from all baby presets.
• Buying a lot while sleeping or sitting will no longer spawn your Paras in these positions.
• Para nicknames are now saved when a household is saved in your library.
• Grass patches that were impossible to delete have been removed from some lots.

Known issues

• Here are some of the issues we are investigating:
  • Some paras will get jealous when kissing their own partner
  • Some players are unable to create new swatches for clothes and assets.
  • Canvases disappear when starting or completing a painting.
• Some external mods and plugins may make all mods invisible both in menus and in game.
  • External plugins and mods may not always be compatible with the latest game updates right away, and risk causing issues. Players should consider this when adding anything new to the game.

We are aware of more issues. Read the previous patch notes and Known Issue posts for more information. Thanks so much for all the feedback reports!
