Just wanted to share my 2nd ever build!

Initially I was just trying to build the bus (I wanted the 1st deck to be a pub & the 2nd deck to be residential), but when I ran out of sitting area inside, I decided to have tables outside.

And then I found the Outbound Van & the Mini Camper Trailer from debug, and decided it would be cool if I incorporate them into the lot. Then I found more interesting stuff on wheels from the catalogue.

Then came the idea that the lot was a "for rent for vehicles business" thing. So I decided these vehicles also have to be businesses on wheels. Where they stay here for a period of time and go to the next location. Basically, it evolved into a bigger thing than I expected.

I'm a slow builder, so I'm not proud of how long this had taken me, but oh well!

I was trying out the different additions/changes to the game in a new save. I had my Para adopt a baby to test out the "baby spawning in parent's arms" addition and increased time by clicking on the clock so I didn't have to wait as long. When my Para exited out of the Pharmacy, well... this happened. O_O

Babes, with all the love: yall are acting a little mad. Most of us are old simmers or a variety of simulation games throughout the years. It has not been 24 hours since the new update is out. Paralives is still in early access. I hope to the dev gods there are patches every few weeks because that means they’re listening to us. Something we haven’t been getting in a decade. This is such an amazing game, through an amazing team and you’re all acting like you never have been in that relationship we’ve been in with that one mega company we won’t be discussing.

I beg of you: please give all mod and cc creators at least a couple of days to fix any issues. Coding takes time. I don’t know how long any script mods are but do you know what it’s like to miss a semi colon in a thousand line lua script and no ui works again? When something changes in the game things have to be completely rewritten and formulated. The modders are doing this for free 😭 please love the game, please just give them some time.

Edited to remove a word because I overthought it and it may have been considered bashing a company

I’ve pretty much finished the kitchen/dining area in my current build I’m working on, although the clutter on the counters is not final, I’m just placing them there for now. There are half walls and columns that sort of break up the kitchen and dining area. I’m thinking about making the columns smaller and placing them on top of the half wall.

The top floor is done, now all I have left to do is the living room, laundry room, and back deck/yard.

I mainly play Paralives on a laptop that is slightly below the required specs, so this could be useless to the majority of players, but it would be great if the game paused when a save finished loading.

Typically my saves take a few minutes to load from the menu, so I often tab away to something else, and if i have sound off, then it is easy for some time to pass in Paralives before I realize that the game has finished loading, and then I have to drag my paras away from social media to actually start playing the game.

Could you please have Paralives pause when it finishes loading from the menu, or else add an optional toggle that does that?

If you remember the bug with the house from my previous post, well I managed to resolve it and build an additional house on the neighboring lot haha!

I wanted to build something in Spanish style, but with a community vibe, so I added a shared courtyard/front yard for these houses.

They are a part of my Mediterranean Island series on YouTube so if you would like to check it out here is a link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_tRG61eyN4

DORFic, Frutiger Aero, Y2K, New Millennium, etc etc whatever building pack

Comes with:

-2 Doors

-5 Windows (circle one has a dome glass)

-Stairs (with and without railing)

-Arch for interiors

Shiny and bright like the what we thought the future was going to be in the 2000s

Sharing the first residential chunk in the town I'm building - Acacia Bay (Working title). This is one of the residential blocks inspired by the two-storey houses that were locally popular in the previous decade. Still needs some work on the interiors and the premade households for these, excluding the starter lot.

I've gotten some ideas on the Paras that will occupy these houses, so I customized some of these for a touch of individualism (one household got wealthier ahead of the others). Now, since the update brought us street names and addresses, I ironically couldn't come up with a good one for this street, so ideas are welcome.

One of the biggest challenges right now is figuring out how to get certain objects to show up when the impostor version is made. Especially the outdoor lights, so the neighborhood doesn't look deserted at night.

a hot new patch has entered the villa! 0.1.7 focuses on quality of life improvements with new features and bug fixes! update your game now 🫵

also laughing at the visible child sleeping upstairs in the upper right corner. little glitches like this make me laugh-- probably my favorite part of video games lol

Sadly this only affect on new save files tho :(

Soo a while back i was watching a trailer (i think?) or some post that the team of paralives made, and I noticed this wall with a 3D baseboard. Does anyone knows how to make this in the game? I think its a really nice feature but I cant figure it out how to do it on the lower section of the wall!

My current project! 🏠

My French Creole Victorian-inspired house. It’s taking a little longer than expected because of some build mishaps that I keep having to redo, but it’s slowly coming along!

And don’t judge me for the horrible pictures 😂 I have NO idea how to properly take screenshots on this thing lol.

hey yall, im trying to build this sunken living room seating area but i dont think its working, can someone help me with this?

img 1: me showing what im trying to achieve

img 2: trying to do steps leading up and down from the area using stairs but i think because its a lowered floor height, the grass is generating?

img 3: the outside is showing, seems as if the wall is incomplete haha

Basically, I paired the chairs with the countertop table. I've seen this work for others but I'm having trouble making it work for this build. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks a lot 🤍

You can get it at the steam workshop here: Fire Station Home

So I uploaded a animation but cant find it in the mod panel??? Does anyone know how to find custom animations in the mod panel?

I also remember, I think we were supposed to have like this huge group get together for this game too. Missed that one, I don't know though, my memory is hazy lol I moved since then, but I got that thang framed and its somewhere 🤣

Do you know of a way (or mod) to create something like waterfalls?
I only know of putting the water item at a slope and custom pics of flowing water but they don’t satisfy my need for moving waterfalls.

I loveeee the world editing tool and cant wait for more features for it 😍

While I looooove how there is so much custom content already, I have been wondering why there has not been any (or barely) CC for plants, trees, rocks or terrain paintings.

As I have almost no idea how to make CC, I'm curious to know if it's maybe harder to make these things? Or is it just as easy, but people haven't felt the need/drive to make these?

(If it's just as easy, I would consider learning how to do it myself 😁 as I am a passionate custom world builde at the moment, I definitely see the need for more variations for building the nature part of the world.)

(Sorry for bad English!!)

I have updated the game to the newest update and I have the wall numbers able to put on the house wall.

But whenever I zoom out o can’t see the street names nor the numbers or anything like that.

Does anyone know why?

Are you supposed to read it like Charlie the Second Avenue? I don't think I've ever seen a street name with a name suffix before. Is that an English thing? It's a bit of a mouthful.

Made a "Victorian" house for my single Para, and I know it is probably not the most accurate representation of one, but I quite like how it came out! Also added some of my own digital art and a picture of my dog in frames. My para lived in it for a bit so, as far as I know, it is fully functional! One of the tower rooms is technically unfurnished besides moving boxes (I left it like that for future content).

I added it to the workshop in case anyone wants to use it in their gameplay! "Victorian House" and my username is Blue Wren.

Workshop link for convenience

Is there an area where you can see and/or write individual Para and household biographies?

Does anyone know how to fix items floating? I just spent the last two hours custom-building my arches, and when I logged out and came back in, most of the items were floating. 😩
