The Sims 4's colorful competitor Paralives is bringing one of my favorite features from The Sims 3 back – the ability to customize literally everything
And I can't wait

As EA continues releasing new content for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Sims 4 and hyper-realistic competitor 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:inZOI gears up for its early access release later this month, another colo൲rful life sim begins its hold on my heart – P𒉰aralives, an indie spin on the genre launching sometime this year.
The upcoming life sim incorporates some 🦄of The Sims community's most highly requested features, including throwback mechanics from EA's older entries like♌ The Sims 3. Paralives' developers show these off regularly online, with their most recent highlighting something I've been yearning for ever since The Sims 3 introduced me to it: the color and pattern customization tool. Everything in Paralives can be edited by players freely.
The game's items come with fun, premade swatches to choose from, too, just like those found in The⛄ Sims 3. It's a nost🅘algia trip with better, more vibrant visuals.
"We now have premade swatch colo♕rs for close to 1,000 items," write the devs, with an attached clip of object customization in action. "Players can also edit their own to customize their builds," they ad🌌d, showing off the color and pattern changing as well.

It's one of many features I'm excited about that the Paralives team has so far showcased, and there's hopefully not much lon෴ger left to wait now until the꧋ game's 2025 launch into early access on Steam.
After all, the past couple of years haven't exactly been kind to hopeful 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:games like The Sims 4, with examples like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:inZOI's delay last year as well as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Life by You and its෴ cancelation springing to mind. For the time b﷽eing, however, Paralives seems safe.
And if you're anything like me and are chomping at the bit to play Paralives, you can wishlist it now on to ♒keep up to date with any news from the devs. There are all sorts of progress updates to browse on Steam, too, from a look at the loft building in-game to a deep dive into the life sim's stunning day and night cycle.

No🧸w, if you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to pour another thousand hours into The Sims 3 while I wait.

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she's not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she's probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she's spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark 🌌in Baldur's Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you'll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
