Para-lives Or Sims 5?

Thank you for answering my question. I didn't want to accuse unjustly. I'm glad that they are being fair to other gaming companies. ;)

I feel like the base game of Paralives will be better than the base game of The Sims 5, but I think that The Sims 5 expansion packs/additional content will be better than those of Paralives. Either way, I’m excited for both. :)

I think the competition will be good for both games. The Sims existed in a space with no competition. So, for gamers who want to play this game they buy it despite their disappointment with the bugs or game play. With the competition it will make EA up its game.

Both games leave the faith community out, so we can't truly "play with life" - so it will be interesting if EA addresses that community in the future with a Game Pack.

Also - um, what? I love the water and this image of boat life in Paralives is compelling:

Well I have to put my two cents in but it's kind of impossible to included all religions in the game.. I mean we have the three Abrhamic relgions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), you have Hinduism, you have Confucianism. some Greek people still worship the Old Greek Deities or at leas they did sometime in the 1970s, Buddhism, Sikhism, Shinto.

Someone's going to be left out and if they tried to make up their own religion people will say "It's like X or Y Religion"


But I have to point out with Paralives that they're planning to including objects connected to religion but not religion itself.

And don't overlook Vivaland, and also Rod Humble is making a game for Paradox that he seems to be hinting might be a life sim like this genre.

Yes, dicussion thread of Humble's Paradox Tectonic is here.

I don't know I might give paralives a chance but it looks like the game where you have to pay more money to get this and that and to have energy wait two hours real to play again. Sims 5 hopefully it's not like Sims 4 that's all I ask lol.

Paralives will have very few Paid DLC and a lot more (free) updates. And there will be no microtransactions in the game and no engery bar except for the something similar to what we already have in the Sims (NOT something like in Hogwarts Legacy or other mobile games).

Please do your research people before making assumptions!

Madamelee has like 30k+ posts in the discord. She's very active and knowledgeable about all things Paralives :smile:

@Briana2425 and the only reason there hasn't been much game play is they only started 10 months ago (Jan) in the game play. But there been posts on Paralives discord and on the Paralives Facebook page. Today it was "dancing bugs" with Sebby and Maggie (first two paras)
