Paralives

It would give me an excuse to jump in and try it.

Yeah, I mean, because there was that very brief period where they were trying all these Sims alternatives were coming out, like Paralives and that weird AI one that's weird.

I haven't played it, but I've seen it.

I've been like, meh.

I

don't play anything.

Well, he's a big Sims guy because he did a Paralives thing.

He was playing that, though.

Yeah, cool.

Yeah, so over on PC, I've been playing Paralives.

I made a conscious decision after EA got bought out by that company or whatever, decided never to open Sims 4 again.

But the problem was PowerLives is just an early access.

have you guys ever made any mods of your own

no I don't have that kind of ability

In Paralives, actually, there's been a few things where, like, you can just, like...

Because in the, like, workshops or whatever for Steam, we'll be like, this is how you do it.

I think the future is going to be, not that The Sims hasn't been about anything other than shaking people down for money, but somehow it is going to get worse.

And I don't think we're going to see the innovation that fans have been asking for from The Sims for years now, creating this demand for a Sims rival or Sims killer that we've seen with Paralives.

I just don't think this company understands what people are after.

You know, Paralyze is doing well in its own niche because of its much more consumer-friendly practices.

There's also some new Monster Factory out.

Juice and I played Paralives and we fucked it up so bad.

Yeah, we almost broke it

to a point where it stops resembling a game.

I've got in my wish list now to see if there's something here that I would pick up.

I think Paralives would be one because if I'm not in the office and want to be on the PC for a bit, that kind of thing would be fun.

Yeah, let's go with Paralives.

I'm hearing a lot about that.

And I really should play it.

I wanted to buy it.

And it would eventually, essentially, if I did that, that would have been my answer for this entire podcast.

Paralives.
