How Many Plan on Buying Paralives vs TS5?

Paralives is a no for me, and I don't care for an online subscription game. If that is the wave of the future TS4 will ne the last Sims game, but I will reserve judgement for when TS5 is a reality.

It is not going to be an online subscription game. Stated in the Paralives FAQs page of their site. Single player, off line, no subscription. But TS5 might be from what we can gather from the type of positions and requirements for a job on TS5. ETA: reread your statement, if you meant TS5 as a subscription, yeah, I agree that's a no from the go.

I'm willing to give Paralives a shot, but I want to wait for people to talk about it once it's out first.

If I can play it with aging off, I'll buy it the day it releases. If you can't turn off aging I won't buy it but I'm not buying the sims 5 either way. I don't want an online sims game, it doesn't appeal to me at all.

But who knows - I mean we know very little at this time still. If TS5 is like TS3 and TS4 combined, I'll be happy honestly. I waited a long time after it was released to even start playing TS4, so most likely I'll do the same regardless when TS5 drops unless it looks seriously amazing. Realistically, I might have to give in and buy an actual desktop computer because I'm pretty sure my dainty MacBook will implode if I even think about adding another game to it. Even more realistically, if I do buy a desktop, I'm probably going to go back to TS3 :#

DO IT!!! TS3 honestly is FANTASTIC on a new desktop!!!

They'll have to follow some guides and extra steps to properly install TS3 since TS3 does not support new graphics cards and needs some mods to make it stable, including an auto-save mod for when things bork up, but after putting in the work, it's a great experience.

The steam version of the sims 3 works on my computer and I didn't have to do anything but install it.
My computer specs are;
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor 3.80 GHz
32.0 GB ram
64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

I'm getting Paralives the day its released and I cant wait to make the worlds my own again its been over 6 years and Sims 4 is refusing to restore any creativity for world builders and designers its pretty sad. Unless Sims 4 or Sims 5 is out at that time do some major improvements on world creation and editing I see no reason to continue on being disappointed never having the features I need to enjoy myself.

Never heard of Paralives.

I works on my Nvidia 2080 super as well but I have to download all my store stuff each time as it doesn't recognise my purchases at all, even the whole worlds. I've spoken to support but they don't know why so I'm sticking to Sims 4. I still cannot stand those faces though and Sims 4 is better for building.

Mine is a amd razen 7 4700h, 8 cores, 4,20 ghz 16gb ram with a nvidia gtx 1650 ti. But i followed the steam guide for performance and downloaded "fixed" worlds. 3 runs with no lag at all, not in gameplay mode, build, buy or cas. It runs fast! It loads in less than 1 minute and i have been playing sessions of more than 10 hours straight. I have all eps, all sps and a few store items all working at once.

I want to change my answer to this poll. Now that i'm playing 3 in all it's glory i don't need 5 or paralives.

I'm not planning on buying either game. Due to the increased focus on wokeness and pandering, it can be difficult to find a good game that doesn't do that and focuses on making the life simulator as fun as possible. Most gaming companies nowadays don't focus on quality. No amount of good graphics, environmental/clothing design, or worlds can make up for empty, boring gameplay.

As for indie developers, I feel like they could go down the slippery slope of pandering if they become as relevant as a big-name gaming company. They sometimes give up on their projects, or overlook the problems in their games. I wouldn't buy any game at launch after EA/Maxis disappointed me several times. Same for games from other big-name companies.

At the moment, I'll stick with Sims 3 and Sims 4, and make time for hobbies other than gaming.

Pretty much an indie Sims game that's still very early in development. If you want to get a good idea of what it'll be like, I suggest you check out their YouTube channel.
