There's not enough information about either for me to make that decision. The Sims series is on an obvious decline in quality and if the pattern keeps up, TS5 is fated to be even worse than this iteration, especially with its rumors of multiplayer. It's worrisome to want to buy a game from a company that does not care about the game itself. (E... and... ugh, there was one more letter...)
I like that Paralives seems to be developed by a group that does have a passion for life simulators, but there's a long way they have to go in order to compete with The Sims, especially considering they're a much smaller team. Examples being that while the graphics and build mode look promising, the Parafolk need work in their appearance and I'm wondering if they can pull off developing complex AI for said folk. Which I'm sure is extremely difficult to do. That being said, I predict I'll purchase Paralives before I (assuming I ever do) purchase TS5.
