I find it very amusing that "get intimate" is the exact same animation as woohoo, like the only difference is the name, but also I understand there's not a lot of ways to artistically depict sex in a T rated life sim. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I've seen people talk about having a "forever legacy" paralives save, where they can track the game's development through a single family, and I think that's a really fun idea. Maybe I'll do one with the Darcier household as my starters, since I'd like to play them anyway...

FRIEND BOUGHT ME PARALIVES.

[lifesimautism]

Got the game installed. Made homestuck characters. It's very late so I cannot play any longer but in the morning the mpreg will commence.

Sims 2 bella goth is the only one to exist argue with the wall

[lifesimautism]

Mm. I think I'm gonna pirate Paralives for now and pay for it when I can afford to. I want to support the devs + I want the convenience of owning it on steam but I'm also very very impatient.

[lifesimautism]

Update: I managed to get it up and running, I played around in paramaker, but I won't be playing much more until I can get the game on steam. It just does not run well at all without performance mods for me, and modding the game without steam workshop access suuuuucks. I've satisfied my fomo and I can rest until I have money.

first steps into paralives 🌿

[rockethorse]

So, in the Sims basegame objects.package, there's a semi-functional DnD-style roleplaying game table which, from its limited options when other people poked at and play-tested it, seemed like it was going to have one player act as the game master and then other Sims would change into LARP-y costumes so they could play different classes (it's theorised that this was the purpose of the hidden basegame warrior AF outfit with the super-cleavage, but that connection isn't proven).

Given the Sims 2 modding community is on steroids atm, has anyone ever actually looked at finishing it as lost-and-found TS2 content? I don't know enough to know how broken it is or even how it would ideally function, but it's a neat concept.

I would happily contribute texture-making or copy-writing (and even basic meshing/frankenmeshing) if other people were interested in the code. I'm about to head to bed so I can't go digging myself but it got me thinking that it would be a fun thing for potential hobby and skill building with a social element 🤔

THANK YOUUU to @3snappingrectangles for hooking me up! I KNEW I wasn't imagining things (just wasn't in the basegame files, it was in Castaway Stories):

It seems like it's almost fully-functional as-is? I tested it and here are the current problems I would LOVE to collaborate with someone to fix:

The BIGGEST problem that stops this from being usable is how limited the animations are - a Sim "rolls", then Sims react either positively or negatively. But it seems like since that rolling animation doesn't exist, it defaults to all the Sims belching clouds all over each other lmao. Not sure what animations would be best to replace 🤔 Maybe a generic swipe/clear? One of the poker table animations? I'm sure someone who knows this stuff could add more player reactions to rolls, too.

The table just pulls the basegame card table as its mesh (which means it's non-recolourable). Would love to make a custom object to replace this - in an ideal world it would be an object you had to place on a separate table (so players could mix-and-match), but I'd make a full table-sized object if necessary (with an invisible recolour, players could still use different tables). Would just need some help getting the table to point to this new mesh 👍

The object is a Logic skilling object (YIPPEEEEE) and that all seems to function, except there's no notification that a Sim has gained a skill point. If someone can add that, I can write the flavour text (for other things too, like the catalogue description, etc.) Would be cool if the notification was different depending on which role the Sim was playing?

Object currently only functions for adults and elders (the catalogue flag says it's a University object, which is the EP I presume it was made for before it got scrapped [makes sense - def associate DnD with college geeks haha] - so I assume it works for young adults too, but haven't checked). Would love to enable it for teens too?

Sims change outfits to play the game - this functions, but the outfits are all placeholders, as you can see in the picture above. Would love to offer two versions - one which redirect these to other in-game outfits (obviously that legendary unused AF warrior outfit would finally have a purpose) and another which directs them to bespoke CC outfits I'd be happy to make! Not sure how to handle the gender split though (or possibility of added teen functionality)

If anyone wants to poke at the files I uploaded them here. It functions (annoyingly 🤢) in the game if you change its catalogue flags in SimPE.

Btw sorry for abandoning this blog. My sims fixation waxes and wanes and currently it's waning in favor of tomodachi life. When I get my hands on paralives I might post about it here though.
