Paralives Build homes, shape lives

Design every room, create your characters and settle into a colorful town at your own pace.

Is Paralives worth it?

Paralives is worth it if…

  • you would rather spend an evening designing a house than watching anything
  • you like games with no timers, where you set the pace and nothing punishes you
  • you enjoy making characters down to the last freckle and personality trait
  • you want a life sim you can shape further with mods and community creations

Build any house you can picture

Walls snap to nothing. Paralives builds without a grid, so you can curve a wall, split a floor across levels, or stack an eight-story mansion if the mood strikes. Furniture plays along: resize it, recolor it, stack it, drop it anywhere. You want a lamp half-buried behind a reading chair and three mugs on that table? Done. The catalog of furniture, decor and clutter keeps growing, and the feel is tactile rather than fiddly: you push and pull a home into shape instead of fighting squares. Whether you recreate your actual flat or invent something no architect would sign, the tools stay out of your way.

Make a person, not a preset

The Paramaker hands you a character creator with real depth. Adjust height, tweak a wide range of facial and body features, design outfits, and then go further: personalities are built from traits, skills, wants, needs and emotions, so two Paras with the same face can be entirely different people. No small detail gets left out, from head to toe. It is the kind of creator where you sit down to make one quick Para and surface an hour later with a whole household. And since Paras grow up, have children and live long lives, the person you make today is only the first draft.

A town to live in

Beyond the front door sits an open-world town: shops, parks, restaurants and museums to wander, and a cast of Townies to meet. Your Para can find a job and follow flexible career paths, chase love, make friends or enemies, and do any of it as a group, since you can multiselect Paras and act together. The story is yours to steer: career climber, family builder, richest person in town. There will be hardship and success along the way, and eventually an ending, because Paras live and then they die. At least do it in a nice house.
