When I heard over 200 people at EA worked on Parenthood alone, I'm even more impressed with the Paralives team. Look what they are doing without billions of dollars, and hundreds of team mates!! I am so excited for the game, I'll wait years.
Whaat that's crazy! What the hell were 200 people doing there? Like 199 people creating grass, with one person creating gameplay❓️⁉️ With 200 people you'd think a more complex expansion would have been created 😭
If EA needs 200 interns to develop a feature, that says as little about the effort as if a government agency needs 200 officials to stamp a document.
And that pack is lackluster
Seriously??? And it doesn't have a lot of gameplay even though I like the pack. I honestly hope Paralives is very successful in order to make TS5 and TS4 invest more in the live mode department.
@@rosemangofairy I think honestly that sometimes a big team can be more of a hindrance than an improvement. The whole process of streamlining concepts, design and programming and implementation into a final product must be so tedious. The amount of meetings that have to be held… I’m not a game developer but I can see how a small team may get things done more efficiently sometimes.
Idea: Instead of horses we get fleshed out birds and/or rabbits and other small but common pets.
I love the idea of horses, but if given the choice between having a horse and having a pet ferrot that is an actual pet and not just an enclosure object with a bunch of interactions like "feed" (cough my first pet rodents cough cough), I am totally having the fur noodle. If cars exist to get you from place to place, horses will just be a niche horse girl/period gameplay, so it's probably better off as 'countryside' theme dlc
well i see it like this horse be pointless in sims 4 not like you got anywhere to ride one
so my bet it be like cow lama
unless they add like 2 worlds with 1 world be a lot to live on thats atleast the size of 4 64x64 lots as a home lot
then a 2nd world thats even bigger that has all the stuff that you would want with horses like race track or what not i really dont know all the horse stuff
so yes better small pets might be better but how they do them i find all the pets just annoying
shouldnt have to wash a dog 5x a day or take to vet every other day
then the rodents they just to limited hell i know pet rat i use to have i would go for walks with or take for rides in car just leave at home if had go to a store or out to eat
but i got to point i dont even use any of the pets anymore
I miss having pet birds in the Sims
Why not both?
I think the problem with the babies is that they essentially have the face proportions of an adult when babies in real life have large eyes and foreheads that take up more of their face. Thats why i think thta they look so uncanny
I feel like sims has the same problem . Babies are usually pretty creepy in video games I think it’s the eyes forehead proportion like you said
i agree
Babies do not have large eyes and foreheads; they have small faces/heads that make those facial features appear large. In fact, eyes are one of the few features that remain the same size.
I think the problem is that they’re so tall. If they were smaller, I don’t think it would look uncanny really.
@@hummingbir6 Actually, babies and toddlers just have bigger heads in proportion to their bodies. Their heads start looking smaller as their bodies grow. Learned about it in childcare.
I agree the babies look a lil off lol maybe because their faces aren’t very innocent looking . They look mature in the face . Either way I’m so excited to play
Lol true
they need to have bigger eyes and rounder cheeks just make them look less mature
I love the idea of gradual aging so much 😭 My family gameplay would be incredible with this. It’s so frustrating to have sims that are siblings with a few “years” between them look the exact same height and age until one of them ages up and looks dramatically older than the other. Great job to the paralives team, you can already see how much effort is going into this game and it’s turning out amazing!
Right. That's why I really like the preteen mod. Can't remember the name of the creator at the moment but it is a nice addition to the game. Unfortunately it had conflict issues with the high school pack though.
I really don’t think gradual aging is likely or even necessary- I think it would end up causing more problems than it’s worth. But what I am ecstatic about is the height sliders. They’re practically guaranteed, and you can get that same “older sibling” effect with, like, 2 seconds of manual adjustment. Plus, as a character creator, I just want to be able to tell my 5 year olds from my 10 year olds, which is not something you can do in the Sims.
The Baby is so shiny lol But I have to say by now I'm on Team Paralives. The more I see of Life By You the less I recognize a vision or soul. I hope that one of the two can meet my expectations (and they are in the gameplay, I want a game, not a virtual dollhouse).
@@SimlikeitHot I didn't say anything else. I'm no Sims fanboy, but an individual person. But tbh Sims 2 Open For Business for example had real and quite good gameplay.
I know many people say they don't want a virtual dollhouse, but it's actually the most appealing thing I find in life simulation games like the sims. Can you elaborate on what you mean by "I don't want a dollhouse"? After all, any game where you have godlike, puppeteer control over characters is in its core very much like doll-play. What do you want, if not that? There are games like disaster simulation, where the gameplay is more godlike than puppeteer-like, is that what you mean?
@@fruity4820 dollhouse lets you control every single thing in the world but requires your total control over everything in order to make any sense, look at how Sims 4 works. U get to control everything and you have complete control over every aspect... But in older Sims games this control is only seemingly there as Sims themselves and the 'simulation' (which Sims 4 is severely lacking) takes that control away from you to make you adapt to new gameplay challenges and in turn leads to unexpected and interesting results.
This is why I prefer older Sims games... They are games, they aren't set pieces in front of which i pose my dolls.
@@mihailoveselinovic7151 Agreed 💯
@@mihailoveselinovic7151 i mean, these games need a balance of both. it can't be too far in one direction or the other. yes, there needs to be some unpredictability and simulation you don't need to controlin order to keep gameplay fresh and engaging, but too much and it's not really what anyone wants, either. people play these games to set up situations and lives for roleplay, for living vicariously, etc. we don't want the illusion of control, we do want _actual_ control. if too much happens that is out of your control, it may as well be any other video game with a storyline and a specific playstyle you're locked into, and while i enjoy those too, that's not what i play life sims for. it needs to give you he ability to control absolutely everything yourself, dollhouse style, but _also_ give you the option to let things go and see how it ends up without your control.
I love when Satch overshares about shit its so fuxking funny and exactly my type of person 😂 like someone who just doesnt hold shit back is the best
Proportion is off in the infant and toddler. This is also why many people who can draw adults have trouble drawing babies. The babies end up looking like tiny old people.
Paralives illustrators would benefit from anatomical analyses (a ton of which is available for artists for free online). For instance, studying depth of a face in profile and the difference in developmental proportions between an adult, a child, toddlers, babies and infants. It’s a matter of very small proportional differences.
This is going to be a sticking point for me, as an artist. I like the style, however I don’t want to buy art that is supposed to be proportionally somewhat realistic yet, the artist hasn’t taken time to analyze and improve their skills. It’s going to bother me every time I look at the characters, unless they have as much/more customization in comparison with sims. I don’t want to play with unintentional uncanny valley. Intentional uncanny valley is fine - but, there’s no point to it in this game. It’s not a horror or surrealistic game.
This is really interesting actually! Thanks for sharing. I'm not an artist, but sometimes I try to be 😅 poorly.
I'm so glad you said that about gradual aging. Can it be done? Probably, but seeing as even the most "powerful" sim life game hasn't done it, it's likely very complex to do, and I wish people would stop putting these extremely complex (and, frankly, unnecessary) wants on these games. Then being so disappointed when none of the games can deliver it.
well tbf it's the ONLY 3d life sim
Theres other games that have it and have done it with small teams. One I personally played is "The Isle" a dinosaur simulator. It can absolutely be done and EA just doesn't care to innovate anything apart from their monetization
@@genovah5062 Okay, let me rephrase what I mean. While I have faith Paralives and LBY will be amazing games, I do wish people would stop pushing certain things as if they matter as much as good gameplay. The Sims never had gradual aging and it became a hit without it, so what I’m saying is, while it probably can be done, I’d rather these teams work on good, full games than getting caught up on something like gradual aging or trying to make every building not a rabbit hole or whatever. People are wanting so many things in these games and they will end up disappointed because some of it won’t make it whether it’s doable or not. However, thank you for mentioning that game; I’ll look into it.
I feel like the harsh outline on babies is what makes them look a bit funky
Okay, the dancing baby looks like something from Attack on Titan lmao
Omg you nailed it. I was trying so hard to think of what it reminded me of. They do look like the weirdly proportioned titans.
Yeah, i don't understand the desire to have a separate infants life stage to babies. That only happened in sims 4 because sims 4 babies sucked, and tbh the infants should have just replaced the babies.
Absolutely spot on!
We just needed infants because babies in the sims 4 are so limited!
horse gyal here (although not matching any of satch’s descriptions) i really hope they do add horses, not only will it be a middle finger to the sims 4 but also i love horses and any horse gameplay
@@SimlikeitHot ?
For me the babies look like miniature elders. Otherwise my big problem is too much pink, all the characters are too pink. I'm more excited by Life by You mainly because they have shown off gameplay - not a ton but what I've seen shows me that they are actively working on the most important part of the game. The art can always be improved and updated but core game mechanics are much harder to incorporate.
Im sure a lot of people feel the same way as you. I definitely see Paralives being for Maxis Match/Cozy players and Life by You for Alpha simmers. Just because of the level of fantasy/realism and the art styles.
what gameplay in LBY? you mean sims 3 game play at least in the needs? that's not gameplay to me, so both games actually didn't show much of a "gameplay" let's call it now, only the most basic stuff like needs, walking, running etc
okay seriously 2:31 who is here that remembers The Dancing Baby? I'm getting early 2000's vibes
Yes, exactly! czcams.com/video/-5x5OXfe9KY/video.htmlsi=AXy3h29RN4M7pPhA
I've also (so far) loved the Paralives art style, but had the same reaction about toddlers. They are not cute, just odd looking. And the baby in the crib reminded me of Hank Hill in King of the hill.
I mean... at least they're cuter then the sims 4 babies
@@SimlikeitHot not toddlers just babies
Everyone looks sunburned!!
That baby is clearly Bobby from King Of The Hill.
I don't particularly like the looks of the Paras but the reference image of the toddler is not bad at all, I feel like if they'd come close to that look it wouldn't be so bad.
Same the toddlers look like cabbage patch dolls...I like the art of everything else though
Finally someone mentioned that no gameplay hasn't been shown! I think they've should focus at it in the first place instead of fancy interior design.
3:30 those are laugh lines
absolutely love how the art style looks! Just wow!
wether it’s vlogs or sims, i wanna see more of u :) ur great and very underrated
that could be due to ur niche topics but personally i could watch u talk about any old shit and be entertained
I"ve never commented on a Sim video before, but I have to tell you how much I loved that you called out the horsegirls!! LMAO, your description was SPOT ON!!
finally smtg that has weather and animals and cars at the base game omg.
The baby looks like Bobby Hill. Also the art style reminds me of that old game Babyz
Is that from the same people who made Petz, Catz, Dogz and Horsez? I don't know why they were so weirdly obsessed with adding the letter Z to the end of everything during that period 😅
It is! 🤣
The art style looks amazing! I just wish they wouldn't have that big blush in the middle of their faces. Maybe just tone that down a little bit. And also, that baby needs a bigger head. The middle is bigger than the head. Like cats. So..nope. But they looook so good. Like it's drawn. Not fake. There's...soul in it? I don't know how to describe it. I can only wish the gameplay will be good and I am sold.
They have confirmed that the blush could be removed or added.
Obs: I really like the art style as well! The prettiest in life simulation games so far to me.
I swear, I’m probably being a jerk and don’t realize it, but I hate how pink they all are!!
Can’t wait to play this game in 2035
😂
I’m excited for this game because of playing the sims 4 for so long and getting bored sometimes you know I’m excited to see what kind of stuff will be in the game for building
If they have any involvement in mods and cc, I hope they do something to avoid the creation of a ParalivesResource website 😰
Oh I HATE the sims resource
Looks like cartoon characters from King of the Hill! Lol
The infant looks like bobby from king of the hill
I understand why they are ‘tight lipped’ about their progress. Even if it still takes months-years to release, I don’t mind waiting as long as it’s polished, packed full and taken time over perfecting. Lets not rush or pressure them or we’ll end up with another sims 4 base game..
Thanks for the Info. Hope you're feeling better & get settled soon. Creepy Kid stuff, horror show.
How do you upload every 2 days? Do you have super powers? Tons of elves that assist you? I'd love a video on production & how you pull this off. Thank you ~ New Fan.
That baby looks like Bobby Hill
Omfg thank you! I stg the elders in most of the sims games you’d never be able to tell without the silver hair!
The paras are weird looking to me but i like the world and object graphics
THE OLD MAN IS SO CUT AWEE
The toddler/baby looks like the characters in Facade. Soulless a bit
I want tigers and the tigers can escape and create pure utter chaos. ❤
What kind of gameplay would you like to see for elders in simulation games? I was hoping that the growing together pack for Sims 4 would have more to it for each life stage, but was disappointed. It looks like Paralives may have more thought put into each life stage looks. I hope that implies there will be more game play also specifically for each life stage.
It's because babies and toddlers are supposed to have bigger heads and cuter faces so rn they look like small adults lol. I did work experience at a nursery and oh my god babies and toddlers are the cutest most innocent looking things ever. I hope they allow them to have relationships too. Like how baby sims should cry when with sims that they don't recognise and be emotionally attached to a single adult sim (they should cry whenever they are apart from that sim for too long until they get distracted with toys or form a secondary attachment but when their primary adult returns they'd cry for or crawl to them.). And toddler sims should be pretty distant towards sims that they don't know well enough or didn't know as babies but eventually end up approaching and smiling around the other sim when they befriend them. And this can happen at the acquaintance stage if the toddler has a super friendly personality.
I love horses in the Sims games
I can’t wait for the game to come out.
I love the style it reminds me of life is strange.
Welp I am a black woman with no braces, black hair and I love horses. Got to go horse back riding a couple of time and it was a dream come true. Horses are a love of mine but I don't obsess over them. I don't have a bunch of motifs and memorabilia around but I do hold them in my heart.
Oh also I don't like Taylor Swift so.....
That’s so cool! My grandpa raises and trains horses and it was always such a joy when someone who loved horses but maybe hadn’t had the chance to ride them got to go on a ride with us. Horses are angels 😇
1:20 That's Bobby from King of the Hill
I'm so looking forward to all these new simulation games coming out and EA being left in the dust a bit. Maybe then they'll actually start putting effort into the game again and actually put out more content in their packs/kits. I've been watching your Sims 3 playthroughs and I'm honestly blown away by how much content they put into the game! So they are capable of doing it, they've just let the money go to their heads.
correct me if i'm wrong but i believe they were the only major ones in the life simulation market, so i think it's partially ea and partially 'they can charge pretty much whatever they want because there's no one else in the market'. it's really nice to see some competition coming
Children are devils, I think this is a real presentation 🤣
You’re predominantly the top for me, Satch. 😏🔥
The babies' and toddlers' eyes look lifeless like dolls. They need to have some sparkle/twinkle and shine when happy. Also their skin is too pink. They look like newborns. The bodies are pretty good though.
the baby 1:23 looks like major armstrong from FMA so i get why you're creeped out 😂 and yeah, hopefully that's not the final look 😌
Paralives is giving me... Attack on Titans vibes. Looks just like them. Really creepy.
The baby in the cot kinda reminds me of Bobby Hill.
Yes, I agreed, Satch, i like their art style too. I don't mind Para child, baby and toddler but am sure they'll improve their look before release. I don't mind horses but am not sure whether they should be in the game, we'll see how they play out in the next video. I have feeling they're getting closer to release their game or early access.
unfortunately they're going for a specific look for paras that makes them stand out so they are easy to find during gameplay...so they're not changing that...
Since my standards for babies and todlers were set by the sims 3, everything looks beautiful to me 😂
I only hope that the game will have a lot of gameplay and not just looks like the sims 4. That's the reason i got bored with ts4 after 2 hours of creating one sim, but still play the sims 3 daily. Gameplay is the most important in the end
Yeah this
Gods, I take one look at the Sims 3 children and babies and feel fear. Them kids ain't right.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
7:07 amazing :)
The baby looks like bobby hill
I’m a South African horse girl, brunette and I don’t like Taylor swift at all 😊
In terms of the babies and toddlers I think their eyes are the problem. If they decrease the nose size and increase the eyes and make them cuter that way it could work. Also the wrinkling and detailing on a child should generally be avoided because even though it’s realistic it doesn’t read well in art at all. Just a basic rule of thumb I’ve learnt as and artist 😛
Mmm, intresting! Either way I’m excited!
First I want to say I love watching your videos and thank you for sharing! To me Paralives characters look like paper dolls because of the outer line of them, and Life by You characters are too shadowed. They should outline characters like the build mode items that make them look real.
i think what looks weird is the lack of shadows, therefore the paras seem like theyre floating a little bit.
The elder looks very similar to my mom
I know I recently made a comment about Cream Latte Dream and I know that Satch might be the only one reading this in a very understandably lurker sort of way...
...but I really feel that Paralives coincidentally looks like they took inspiration from Cream Latte Dream's sims, what, with the e-boy/girl blush and the strange body blush that makes paras and sims alike look drunk and like they have a skin condition at the same time. ;w;
Lol they do seem really red like they’re hot or drunk or something. I like it tho. I like when a game has a specific art style and sticks to it
The babies body just looks like an adult body but shrinked? Is it that? Even the face is not babiish, even tho this isn't a word. Its just a small adult, not a real baby 😅
I think the babies were adorable, way cuter than infants! My only concern with Paralives is the quality of the animation, which is something TS4 just really excells at tbh.
Satch to sims: 👺🤺
Satch to saralives: 😌👍
This makes me laugh 😂😂
I guess im different i like the lby graphics and the paralives whole set up
7:55
- i am a basic bitch in some aspects admittedly
- my hair is dark brown bit it's been blonde before
- white trans guy
- no braces but i had them in high school
- i am indifferent towards horses. they are definitely one of the animals of all time
- i don't have a favorite singer but my favorite songs are "supermassive black hole" by muse and "bernadette" by iamx
- i am evil (the only games i really play are team fortress 2, skyrim, fallout: new vegas, and sims 3)
That laugh 😂😂😂
The babies/infants thing in SIMs 4 was yeah, a fix to a broken design. If anything the proper categories would be ‘newborns’ and infants, but if you do it right you don’t need both. A baby is a general term anyway. A real infant and baby are not different and a newborn is just the first bit after being born.
I think the paralives babys rn look too "adulty". You could put the same babyhead on the adult and it would kind of work, whereas a real babies heads would immediately look not fitting for an adult.
0:36 run to you
The baby and Penelope both look like baby faced old men 😂
I love most animals except those that could harm me, stick me or poke me and or kill me. I was raised in the northeast of the US. But I was born in Puerto Rico. Been living in PR SINCE 2013. Anyway I see horses all the time. I love them. But like I said I love most animals. As a 39yr old female who loves all cute things and loves the sims lol I probably will be a sucker and get this pack.
Edit: I hope paralives comes out before I get too old😂
I'm sure there is no right answer to this but...
Is it "live" mode or is it "live" mode? ie. is this how the paras/sims "live" or is the action being simulated "live"?
most people say it like "live, love, laugh" I say it like "we're going live in five" I think only maybe 10% say it my way, and I don't know if it's ever been officially said by the devs which it is.
@@Daiska_PlaysI say it your way! I thought everyone said it that way until I started watching sim CZcamsrs and everyone said it the “live, laugh, love way” 😂
Okay but i'd be elated if they swapped horses with snakes. Snakes are cute and very good pets! And there's lots you could do with themm!
the problem with the baby/toddler is more noticable somewhat like with the adults.... the shading ubder the eyes shows no highlights and is often dark with the drawn on blush.... the last project I was working on had some artists who wanted something similar to this style....it just made the faces look dirty.
Call out those swifties 😂
Baby Chacha 2023 edition LOL
Omg heterochromia eyes !!
My favorite artis is Adele
I'm critical of how interactive animations are to be done. Both Life by You and Paralives are boasting fairly expansive character customization for body types. However, this is gonna cause some massive jank if not dealt with and a lot of work if its attempted to be dealt with. Kissing for example, is a basic one that can be dependent on overall height, limb length, head size, facial feature size, etc. This is just one action and atleast the sims has set a precedent of multiple types of kisses for multiple scenarios. People throw around the word "procedural animation", but frankly there are relatively few examples of this in action in the way these games would need. I'm not saying they can't do it, but I'll believe it when I see it.
The paras still look better than the sims 3 sims, so I'll take it. As long as the gameplay is good, with little to no bugs and glitches, im here for it
Me an English rock lover allergic to horses..... 👁👄👁
I just don’t like how Cartoonish it looks, but I like everything else
I think the Sims team would have been smarter to work on and release a Fairies expansion pack instead of horses. As long as we don't have an open world, or a special open-neighbourhood world for the horses it's not really going to work, in my opinion.
I feel like the paras look a bit off bc they look more 2d like drawings where the rest of the world is 3d ykwim?
0:38 begy k tebe 🐾
I may be an odd one out but I like the world look but as far as the paras I absolutely hate the new 2d paper doll look. It's jarring against the very different background. They talked about being pro modding & cc but is this new style with the drawing style going to affect cc creators abilities?
Well, only plus I can see, is that the people are far less cartoony... meaning they aren't as nearly outlined (like comic book based games e.g. X-Men, Batman, etc.) & are starting to look more like Sims, well sort of... kind of a weird 2-d Sims 1 mix with TS2 3-d look. The coloring is still very "comic bookish" and IDK if I will ever play it. Life by You seems so much better, superior, and even (ALMOST) on the Sims level. Still a TS2-3-and at time 4, STAN. Nothing beats the O.G. with some new knockoff. Besides City Skylines being the exception to TSC... with the exception of SC-4 which is EV=ER=Y=THING! No matter if it is quote, unquote, "dated" in the way of graphical limits.
Baby looks like Benjamin Button
reminds me of M3gan
Babymons
2:23 Jeff Bezos
the sims wouldn’t be what it is without black and brown creators. no taylor swift. no blonde hair. even the newer clothing designs and hairstyles were jacked from black cc creators and black simmers on youtube

Ohhh yeah, I agree. The kid looks deranged as eff. And the baby also looks strange.
