So the Paralives devs have announced that the game's Early Access release has been delayed until May 2026.
I think we can all agree that this is disappointing, but ultimately I think it's going to be for the best.
The @paralives.com team is very small and this genre is not easy to make a game for!
Hi, Alex here, the lead dev of Paralives. Unfortunately, we had to make the difficult decision to delay the release. We are truly sorry for the last min announcement. After thoughtful consideration, we feel it's best for the game & the community... Players enjoy the flexibility & the customisation of the Paramaker & Build Mode. However, there are still impactful bugs in the Live Mode & a lack of activities to do in the town, which dampened the enjoyment of the players, & we feel it is necessary to work on these before delivering the product to the community... I attribute this partly to the fact that a project like Paralives is a colossal task. Live sims are really 3 games in 1: an advanced & flexible build mode, a greatly customisable character creator, & a complex life simulation mode. Over the last 6 years of development, starting with 2-3 developers for the 1st years, to growing to an average team size of only 10 people, we had to alternate long stretches of development between these 3 parts of the game. We are so proud of what we have built, but now, we just need a bit more time to polish the simulation part of the game. This would ensure Paralives offers a great 1st experience when it launches, making players come back for every exciting free update & expansion that we will put out afterwards. The new Early Access release date is May 25, 2026. We have updated our detailed roadmap with what we will be improving over the coming months, with a focus on fixing important issues & improving the 1st time user experience... On Tuesday, Nov 25, at noon EDT, we will stream 45 mins of uninterrupted live mode gameplay on our YT channel to show the current state of the game, the various gameplay features & explain what we will be improving before launch. We plan on keeping you updated w/ streams & videos leading up to the new release date. We remain fully committed to making a quality & innovative game with the support of the community & to updating it for years to come...

Does this annoy/happen to anyone else here who uses Da Vinci Resolve? 13 seconds of a video with ZERO wave forms showing, even though I'm talking throughout. Makes editing super difficult!

Here's my Sim for @surelysims.com #OrderOfTheHiddenEye #simblreen challenge.

Robert Hector is a man of dual existences. By day, he is a seemingly ordinary 29-year-old gym assistant at "So Fit," with a bodybuilder degree and a simple obsession with jazz. >>>
A full body shot of a Sim with short red hair wearing a sparkly red and black long sleeve top with a peek a boo tear drop cut out in the chest region. His shorts are super short and pure black and he's wearing sparkly red tights underneath. A pair of black leather knee high boots finishes the ensemble. Close up view of a male Sim with red hair and black eyes. The sim is looking towards the right. He's wearing a red and gold mask and red horns. His top is decorated in red and black with a cut out over his chest. Close up view of a male Sim looking towards the left. His short red hair is closely cut on the sides, with a flick of hair falling over the right side of his face. He's wearing a red mask and red horns and his sparkly red and black shirt is open in front, revealing a muscular chest.

I totally feel as though they are referring to those of us in the EACN who have said we're leaving or moving away from Sims content creation in that first part. >>>

New house for my Sims 4 Parenting Predicaments Scenario! The 2 kids in the scenario have aged up to teens, so I moved them to Copperdale and built them a 3 bedroom home so they don't have to share a bedroom anymore. Very sparsely furnished atm because I ran out of money, but that'll soon change!
2 story house with hipped roof in Copperdale in the sims 4 1st floor with 3 bed rooms, 3 bathrooms (2 ensuite) ground floor with a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and entry way.

Have you noticed that some peeps you follow on the gallery are showing as anonymous or have your gallery friends said that you are showing as such? @crinrict.com has found the culprit!

To fix, open the EA app, go to Privacy under settings, click manage, make sure that it says "everyone". (next)

I'm starting my next Sims 4 scenario. Here's the pre-made family that came with the scenario and here's the house I've built for them! I've put it on the 64x64 lot in the Enchanted by Nature world. It isn't 100% complete yet (my Sims ran out of money), but they've at least got all the basics!

I finished my Sim's Gibbi Gibbi cabin! It's a 1 bed, 1 bath home, furnished with as much of the new build/buy stuff as I could fit in! The lot is a butterfly/moth collector's dream, as well!

I was worried about the writer of the descriptions in the last pack because they were all quite tame, but she's BACK! Someone has been playing Date Everything, I think lol!

Perhaps he'd have a charming accent and take pride in his work as a door. And before you say, "Wow, what a silly thought! What's next, the dining table is a cowboy with a heart of gold who's shy but hardworking?" Yes. Yes he is. What are you going to do about it?"

Because why, for the love of all that is good in this world, would you put a wooden door inside of a t- wait a second, it's you again? The one who loves wooden archways, right? Haven't we been over this before? Don't tell me you love wooden doorways too... You know what? No. No. We are not doig this over here too. Take your weird self back to the Intense Canvas Arch, okay? I can maybe forgive the wooden archway but a door?! In a tent? You are my personal nightmare."

I finished the New in Town scenario in The Sims 4 today! The scenario ended with Farrah and Care Ren being woohoo partners 🤭 and Farrah's house being quite nicely decorated using (a lot of) debug items and also things she bought/collected during the play through.

Farrah's 1st home is built! It turned out to be a mix of modern and cottage core lol, but (despite it being super pink on the outside), I like it! The interior is nowhere near done, with it being furnished with just the extreme basics, but I'll get there! It's on the gallery as is!

Next scenario is "New in Town" with Sim Farrah Nouvel. Since I ended the last scenario in Innisgreen, I've started this one there, moving Farrah into a lot in the Coast of Adhmor. I've bulldozed the lot and will make her a nice little home based off her traits and likes. #Sims4
"Scenario Details: New in Town: Moving to a new place can be scary - especially if you don't know anyone there - but it can also be a great adventure! Help Farrah explore her new home, make some friends, and throw a moving-in-party that will be the talk of the town! Reward: (picture of a compass) Bonus: (picture of a surprise box)" "Farrah is new in Town... Farrah, a freelancing digital artist, has just moved to a new town. She doesn't know anyone! Help her explore her new home, meet some people, and throw the best moving-in-party ever! Fingers crossed, she'll make some life-long friends along the way; maybe she'll even meet the Sim of her dreams..."

And I've finished the Stuck in Their Shadow scenario! Nova Curious & Oberon celebrated Balance day (the exact middle of the year when everything is in perfect balance) with a BBQ and fireworks and then Nova finished the game she was programming, which triggered the end. Onwards to the next scenario!
Fireworks on Balance Day in The Sims 4 "Scenario Completed. The Curious family has received the following rewards for completing the Stuck in their Shadow Scenario! Story Ending: Quitting the Rat Race. Nova gave in to FOMO and embraced the indie life. She's now free from the corporate chains, and yep, Lewis' chaotic neutral energy might have had something to do with it. Reward: (picture of a gold ribbon) Bonus: (picture of a white rabbit thing) Next Steps: Nova can proudly close the first chapter of her career... as a free woman! It felt sooo good to call her manager and quit. She's now rich in the world's best currency: free time! It's up to you to decide what she'll invest it in!"

Nova's new house exterior is now done! The interior has the basics, but still has a long way to go. But, here's the outside. Debug is the best thing ever for decorating! I've put it on the gallery. If you fully furnish it, I'd love to see it! Gallery ID = MuirDragonne #Sims4
