I wrote about Paralives last year, because a) itās cool seeing a proper competitor to The Sims, and b) the house construction stuff looked really interesting. A year later and the house stuff now looks like 94% of the reason I want to play this game.
See, courtesy of passions for both architecture and chill television I have an unhealthy obsession with the show Grand Designs, and have long been utterly mystified that there hasnāt been a more prominent (Iām aware some smaller titles exist) game built just around…building nice houses.
And while The Sims has long had some pretty cool house-building stuff, what Paralives is doing here looks like some next-level shit, from the way weāre able to shape the outside of the house to the variables weāre given on stuff like resizing windows and applying finishes.
Iām seeing a future where people play this game entirely for the building and furniture element, despite the whole point of this is itās a whole damn life simulator
