aj plays sims video and paralives dev response
yesterday (19 may 2026) aj plays sims posted a video reacting to the paralives gameplay stream. aj's video was about the fact that the all the plants in the environment move so much that it's triggering motion sickness and preventing even being able to watch the video without having to pause to let the nausea pass
in the video, and the comments, some very good points are raised about motion sickness, potential over-stimulation by the constant movement of all the plants (trees, taller grasses, bushes), and possible lag on lower end machines. the addition of a toggle or something to reduce or stop the movement of the plants altogether was discussed as a possible solution to this issue
today, alex of the paralives team reached out to aj with this response:
this is how you value your playerbase! you show you're listening and you do something about it quickly. this close to early access and it's already taken care of! if you're wondering about adding paralives to your game library, let this give you that little extra nudge to do so. the dev team are listening to our feedback already, and are doing something about it
