🫣Oof yeaaah, it's bad. This is like Cullen's VA from Dragon Age all over again. I love Dammon but his VA? As a genderfluid pansexual, this is heartbreaking and disappointing. Yikes, not sure how he's going to dig himself out of that hole.

Apparently there's a limit of 50 mods (downloaded from the workshop) to be loaded at a time by Paralives. Downloaded Households and Lots count to that limit unfortunately. So if you have mods disappearing from the game and not showing up in the "Mods" list, that's probably why (it was happening to me and was driving me CRAZY).
EDIT:
Someone made a plugin where you can install plugin mods for the game, including one to REMOVE the 50 limit for workshop downloads! Here (click) is the link for the plugin!
From inside the game, on the main menu go to Mods > Plugin Hub and there you'll find the option to install the Workshop mods limit fix.
Thanks @honowo for sharing! 🫶
Below the cut is the previous workaround I had posted.
Here's a workaround:
I'd recommend doing this just to Households & Lots only. DON'T DO IT TO MODS and custom content, in case the creator updates their mods you won't receive them.
The folder for items downloaded from the Workshop for Paralives is this one:
I am so baffled by the people who don't like Paralives art style. I understand having different tastes and not liking it leans on the cartoony more than the realism, but saying it makes it unplayable is ridiculous.
Every time a news sims game came out, I didn't like the look. Even 2, which became my favorite!! I came to each new game years after release, mostly due to my financial or technical limitations, and that gave me time to look through lots of other players game photos. I found that I cultivated a distinct aesthetic with each iteration that is totally unique to that game. I think that if you're not on board with the style now, give it time. People will get really creative with it!
You can literally, in the Paracreator, reduce the contrast of the outlines by customizing the skin. You can make them any color of the rainbow. There are already shader and skin mods out on Steam after the first day. Things will only get better in time and damn... I'm excited.
What pisses me off the most about there being early access content for paralives is the fact that it’s an INDIE GAME. it’s not a multi million dollar company like EA. It’s an early access indie game and some of you are so fucking greedy for cash that you wanna profit off of it? We already have to deal with this shit in the sims like the community is fucking infested with it and now you wanna do this to paralives when they literally told us that we’d always be getting updates for free???? Loser behaviour. You’re a loser
"when will they add cars to paralives" NEVER i hope. there's a train and a bus free yrself from the americanized prison of car centrism!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S A WALKABLE CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love bikes, motor cyles and scooters at least. But they only move a little faster than jogging somewhere. I miss the joy of watching my sim in Sims 3 zoom about the town on her cute little scooter. Also miss buying a junk car and having my sim slowly fix it up. Gosh I made a shop my sim lived above and all he did was fix up those cars and sell them to pay his bills.
How about a compromise and realism? On those little winding cobble streets no cars of course. And a paras will only want to use their car durring very poor weather or to go to another town-oh and they can only use proper paved ones with lines. The team could keep the traffic light for performance reasons and aesthetics. So basically like real life only people on the outskirts of town really use them. Each town will have a parking garage rabbithole near the foot traffic shop areas and some places like the hospital, busness buildings ect. And the para will need to pay a fee to park there of course. There could be underground ones too so it's less of an eyesore. Plus make buying and maintaining a car expensive af, like in real life. It adds to their houshold bills car insurance. If they don't change their oil once a season the car will brake down. It could get a flat and make you late for work. Or the drama of running out of gas and the fuss of having to fill the tank after so many uses. I would eat that all right up!
A preset for Paralives already? Yes, I know! I'm that crazy person who can't live without ReShade. Judge me all you want, I'm good. 😌
This one is inspired by the all time favorite preset "Sumahama" by @/Wilderbees — hence the name "Parahama". 🥺
Made with ReShade 6.7.3
Install on Paralives for DirectX 11
DOWNLOAD: PATREON (FREE)
P.S. No DOF, MXAO or any other depth-based shader on this preset. I didn't get them to properly work for me yet.
Here (click) is a list of the shaders I select when installing ReShade, you won't be needing all of them and I'll put a screenshot below of exactly the shaders used in this preset, but with the link above you'll know in which pack they are - made it this way to make it easier for you to find everything!
SHORTCUTS LIST:
(on/off is for what it is by default)
(off) Fake HDR — Numpad 5
(off) Bloom & Lens Flares — Numpad 7
(off) Chromatic Aberration (Prism) — Numpad 4
(off) Vignette — Numpad 4
P.S — The preset is pretty gameplay-friendly with these 4 shaders turned off, I've been playing with it myself just fine! 🫶
Also try turning on/off "Monocular Cues" and see if you like it. It's a shader that I don't use all the time (it makes a halo effect around stuff), it can get tiring to look at sometimes.
PRO TIP: I always adjust the "BloomAndLensFlares" shader to my needs, which is where the magic of this preset lies. The settings I'm uploading it with may be too strong or too light for some cases, so it really depends on your shot. Just mess with the "fBloomThreshold" slider a bit and see what I mean and, if you're feeling confident, mess with the "fBloomAmount" altogether.
I think a lot of people who are complaining about the lack of content in Paralives are forgetting just how fucking bare bones the sims 4 was at launch.
I’m glad so many people have discovered Judith “Judy” Heumann through this silly little gif set. I am sorry to say she has died at the age of 75. She was known as the mother of disability rights. In 1970 she sued the Board of Education to become a licensed teacher and she won. In 1977 she was one of the organizers of the 504 Sit-in, a 24 day protest for disability rights. You can learn more about her story from her book Being Heumann, the picture book Fighting for YES! or the documentary Crip Camp.
Judy Heumann believed in the inherent value of each disabled individual and would never back down on what she thought was right. Her friends and fellow activists remember her as a strong leader.
