The reason I'll be harder on Sims than Paralives.

Yes competition will do the Sims team good and even though I would love Paralives to be everything it promises I still have alot of doubts about the game. The team is just so small and I don't know what they are capable of. They've been releasing teaser after teaser and I'm getting suspicious.
Also the "healthy competition" won't come anytime soon since Paralives hasn't been able to show facial customization or actual gameplay so far and the AI and gameplay is the most important part in life-simulators. This is gonna take a looong time.
