I love how they even clarify about the laundry machine and such not working initially but would consider adding working ones, so transparent, unlike one company i know

when you said "thanks heaven for search bar" I FELT THAT

I'm already excited about your Pleasantview in Paralives! 💖

The vibe of this game is so cozy it is truly like a feel-good game

Im actually getting chills. I know its probably going to be a bit rough at first, i cant imagine the nightmare that is coding a game like this, but i LOVE the decisions they're making! I'm so excited to make my own parafolk and build their stories 😭

There's always Life By You for people who prefer a more realistic art style. Personally, I love the art style as it's high contrast & easy to see.

I have loved the art style since day 1. But really it’s the gameplay that has me excited.

i'm absolutely stoked for this game. I've been following its development since the very beginning and after the live mode release, i finally decided to start donating to their Patreon. I want this game to be amazing, and i can envision myself playing it as much as i've played The Sims all these years. For some, it may not be their cup of tea, maybe for the artstyle (which, albeit cartoony, i think has the best chance of not feeling too old years down the line) or maybe for the relaxed vibe of the game, but for me, this might aswell completely replace The Sims. The devs have so much respect for us, both as gamers and as customers and i am so glad there's people like them in the industry.

Good. Sims is finally getting competition

I really really love the Rpg-esque aspect of the game. It makes it more in depth for me. As much as I love the free expansion, I don't mind them having a paywalled pack. Not game play pack just small things like Sims 4 kits or Sims 3 store set. Something that doesn't add a feature behind a paywall.

Was looking forward to hearing your reaction to it!

It definitely has a more rpg feel which im totally stoked for! Sims is missing that kind of progression. Im really excited for this!

This made me so hyped, I gotta get this first day too

With this gameplay reveal they've also made a few patreon posts public detailing the features we see there (they have a compilation post linked in a recent post on their community tab here on yt) and it's SO cool. It also explains and goes into more detail about things they didn't really show as much in the video (such as the job being a rabbit hole even tho the cafe is not just a shell and a lot of other things, like relationship labels we didn't see and details on how personality points work - there's debuffs if your para has zero points in a trait!)

Hearing that little laugh is something I missed so much from you, Cindy!

As a Montrealer, I’ve been hyped up ever since! I need support my local businesses! 😂❤

I was not impressed with the Sim 4 so I am really looking forward to Paralives. Between this and what I'm assuming is Sims 5 coming too I am happy to finally have something to play for hours on end again.

The new video has completely revitalized my anticipation for this game. I am BEYONDDDDDD excited for this, I honestly can’t wait. I love that they’re going to make subsequent updates and features completely free. I’m definitely going to donate to them

im so ready for this game!

Thank you for digging deep into this and showing more than the trailer. Your enthusiasm makes me super excited to see this game come to fruition!

You look amazing and you're glowing! Thanks for the Paralives videos. ❤️

everytime i watch your videos i notice all the stuff on your bookshelf, would love to see a tour of your irl sims collection too!

I'm so excited for this game! I love the art style, I'm not a huge fan of the more realistic look of Life By You or Inzoi, it looks kinda uncanny to me. Plus, I probably wouldn't be able to play them on the highest settings, so in the end they'd look even worse for me. Also, the more realistic the graphics are, the more annoying and distracting it is to me when an animation doesn't look quite right, or if something clips through something else. More cartoony styles are just way more forgiving, because there's already a level of suspension of disbelief. I'm really excited for the lore of this game, and I hope they strike a good balance between giving the player agency and also letting the game just throw stuff at you. My most memorable saves in any Sims game are those where something randomly happened that took my story in a completely different direction, so I hope Paralives will provide that. All in all, I have very high hopes for this to be good!

i'm also very exited like you for that game! amd i cant wait to see you play it! ❤

cindy i love your videos and ive been obsessed with paralives too, i cant wait for it. Im so excited to see what you think!

You're looking really healthy, I check on you from time to time and its good to see

I like the style I do think the line art on the characters can look a little excessive and harsh in some areas but maybe the the comic like style is intentional but they can ease it a bit in some areas still

I love the art style, it’s cute anime style to me and I’m personally very excited. 😊

I can’t wait to see your gameplay rules, play style and paras ❤️😊

I have watched quite a few Paralives reviews, including this latest gameplay preview on other channels. Each time I’ve come away, thinking this game isn’t that great and boy do they have a long way to go to catch up to where the Sims four is. That is until I watched your video. No one has made this game seem appealing to me until you. The depth that you went into looking into all of the features and the enthusiasm that you showed for what you were finding has actually made me excited to see this game when it’s finally ready to go. So thank you for creating a sense of excitement about it for me. 💛💛💛

I’m excited to see you playing it

Omg i last watched your video 1 year ago, you look a little different but so good to see you and i hope you're all well :)

Hey Cindy ! Love your videos!

the years have went by fast!

When’s the sims 2 pleasantview next episode

Wow your makeup is absolutely breathtaking today ... especially on your eyes its honestly sooo soo pretty

AH imagine if you build a Pleasant View here its gonna be so GOOOD!

The art style kind of feels like a softer version of the sims 4. I'm feeling like it sits between Sims 4 and Telltale games. I love it.

“Live” rhymes with “five” - thank you!

So excited for Paralives, even if its not perfect when it first comes out, it definitely has a great identity so far!

RAAAAAARRRRAAAA YESSS I BEEN WAITING FOR UR VIDEO ON THIS YAYDHEUXHQJFJWNFI❤❤❤

Looks fun!

You look amazing Cindy !! Glowing

I wonder how the autonomy is going to work? Especially with conversations

I don't mind the look of the Para's themselves too much, but I did think a lot of the environment and gameplay looked very 'mobile game', so hopefully that gets a lil' tweek as they develop.

Very exciting!

I'm very excited about this, and I do like the art style a lot. Especially the music is just so beautiful and relaxing. I'm wondering if you'll make a video about Life by You, I'm curious about your opinion on that.

WOW :D this looks to me like what sims 3 should have been , then :D I'm so happy we get Paralives soon, they seem to have listened to the commnity while creating this game, I love it already . ALSO : I am so glad Cindy makes Sim vids again ^^ thx sista

This game looks so good!!!

WOW WOW WOW! I am absolutely blown away by the incredible work this team is doing, and I am that much more excited to get my hands on this game!!!

I wish we could see more of the Life stages but this is very exciting!

I am super excited to play Paralives when it comes out in early access 😊😊😊

This looks really fun

I love the uniqueness of the bodies

I'm really excited about this game

The game feels so detailed, it reminds me of the Sims 2 in regards to game polish. Looking forward to Paralives, now more than ever!

Im stupid excited for Paralives!

I hope you can make evil Paras too lol I like my Jim Pickens characters

This game looks amazing! I can't wait to play it!

I thought the art style was really cool the first time I saw it and what I seen so far is amazing

I really love the art style and depth of gameplay, Paralives is going to be a fantastic game.

Only Cindy gets excited about paying taxes 🤣

I hope there's gonna be autonomy

I always thought it was live mode, not live mode, if you get what I mean.

I will be 18 when it comes out

This game looks like it'll definitely be my thing. I can see myself playing this for several hours. 🙂

Looks really cool, i love the art style. It's so different from the sims, which is the only life sim I've ever played, that it's gonna take some getting used to for me. Im interested to see how playing a family or multi Para household will be bc it seems to very individual focused.

I think it looks really cool and i cant wait. I can't be worse than sims 4.. I'm so looking forward to playing it!

I keep seeing boxes but I’m assuming it’s not gonna be used the way I want.they seem to be decorative only

I’m hoping they do add animations for picking up instruments and stuff but if not it’s not that big of a deal…it looks AMAZING!

I'm as hyped for Paralives as ever and I love all the littel details the trailer shows. I have to say I find the first person singular an interesting take. It makes it seem like they have thoughts and not just 'tokens' of wants like moodlets. When it comes to the DLCs I'm of course supportive of a full fletched base game but I'm kinda worried that they may would not be able to fund new features once the game is out. Like I'd rather pay for a bunch of new content at some point instead to have no new content at all, but I guess that highly depends on what happens to the team in the future.

musical knowledge? *flashbacks to how expensive the skill is in Mabinogi*

When's the next sims 2 pleasantview episode?!

I’m curious about the free DCL! Otherwise I’m very excited for this!!

It honestly doesn’t seem like a rival to the sims.

You look like a sim 2 in this video 😊

I love that pregnancy is a part of the game

I WANT TO PLAY NOOOWW

If this game has soul, I'm in

wonder if this game will work for linux next year windows 10 is coming to a end im starting to save for a pc with windows 11

I had my doubts after they changed the art style of the Paras themselves, but I have changed my mind of recently, and after watching the big reveal last week I finally joined their Patreon, so I can find out more sooner, but also to give them a bit of help, it's only the first tier, $3, but since I'm disabled I can't afford much. I personally am excited for both Paralives and Life By You, I like them both for different things, actually them being a bit different from each other and The Sims, makes them me want to play both. I love the idea that soon I will be able to switch between two new life sims, for the first time ever, which I have always wanted. I know a lot of people talk like you have to choose just one of them, but why? They are both good games, and unless you just totally hate one of them, which I don't know how anyone could really, otherwise I think they're both wonderful games and I hope they both do great when they are released! And also, I just spent the day playing The Sims 2, I have a slightly older laptop that can still play the game, which is the one I got for free years ago from Origin. I have gotten so fed up with all the bugs in TS4 that I just wanted to play a game that actually works and I know I can enjoy for a change.

I'm... unsure how I feel about this. I WANT to be excited, I adore the Sims 2 and I know some of those who worked on it are working on Paralives, but I'm also content with Sims 2 and (my heavily modder) Sims 4. Plus I'm unsure if it'll have rotational game play option and that's a big deal to me.

So I'm worried about the reveal of no paid DLCs this early. Its not that I don't believe them or anything like that, I'm just worried that they have promised that too early. I mean look at Dreamlight Valley, they said the game would be free and quests would never be behind pay walls and they went back on both of those. I hope I'm just worrying for no reason, because the game looks great, and honestly, I wouldn't mind paying for extra content to help support them, especially if the game turns out as awesome as it seems so far. I'm excited for more. Also, another thing that worries me a little is the whole thing felt staged still, like maybe it was being done in a controlled environment versus being in engine, mainly because of the edits and skip aheads...I would like to see an unedited preview of gameplay too, even if it would be a bit longer. Of course that is probably just me overthinking stuff. I want the game to be great and succeed and actually be a competitor to The Sims so we can have multiple Life Sim games to play that compete and build off of what the other is doing. I can't wait for 2025 :D

i can't wait to customize a world, like it seems like it should but such a basic thing for a life sim to have, but after playing the sims 4 for so long i just want to be able to make houses and lots where ever i want, i was never able to get into the create a world from the sims 3 so it'll be like a completely new feature for me which im both excited for but also a little upset hasn't been the norm for a long time. nevertheless i think it'll be a great game even if it will likely have it's flaws, i love the sims 4 and it has a lot of flaws so a game like this that clearly has so much love put into it i have a feeling it'll be an all time favorite

I really love the features in this game. I just wish they had 3D character models. Or at least have the option to have 2d or 3d models. Other than that, it looks awesome.

i personally love the art style its realistic but also cartoonish. the whole thing almost seems too good to be true i reeeeaaalllyyy hope it works! and i hope the paras get more complex personality and a system where they can have some kind of thoughts

Whoopidoo...

Hey, I haven't seen you for couple of years, you look awesome!

INITIATIVES FROM TOWNIES?! If I wasn't sold before, I definitely am now! Imagine a townie having an actual personality without Slice of Life or WW...

Can u. Do sims 2 pleasentview

wil it more a realistic life sim like dead and religion, weddings and crime ... and jobs wil you interact with para's on the job i know som jobs ar rabit hols but what do you think ?

I'm excited to see where the game goes, but I feel like I'm the only one who isn't super impressed by it right now. I know it's an indie company AND that it's unfinished, but it felt a little too mobile-y for me. It didn't feel super immersive. And yeah it's a demo, so there's more to come. But I kinda feel like the only one who's not jumping up and down with excitement just yet. Of course I'm still going to check it out when it comes out though

a release date at last

I'm so so excited! I hope story progression can be turned off, I'm not a fan of it.

I don't think it's very business wise to announce, before the game even publishes, that there will never be any paid DLCs 😅 People will hold you accountable to that and social media can be cruel in that way. I never minded paying for DLCs in sims 3, because each game pack had a lot of content (price was a bit too high imo though. Half of that would'vebeen enough). If this game is good and they can continue to expand it with big projects i wouldn't mind paying a bit for it, just leave the 20$ stuff packs out ..

Did you lose a lot of weight or did i hallucinate? I didn't watch your content for quite a while.

I like nearly everything I heard here and saw, the only thing I think they should change is how paras look when they become old. I think they look like young people that have just wrinkles drawn on their faces. It would be better if their eyes actually become a little smaller, their noses a little bigger and their mouths a little thinner and don't forget that skin is becoming saggy with age, so the skin on their face should sag just a little. So the paras really look like real old people not like young adults that cosplay being old.

the earliest i’ve ever been wtf

I'm dying to see gameplay relating to babies and children. I NEEEED better babies than what Sims 4 is giving.

wow you slim so much~!!!!
