Parafolks Will Finally Wash Their Hands After Using the Toilet!
It’s Friday, it’s a new post, it’s Richard :)!
I have improved the autonomy system to make Parafolks perform actions automatically after they finish something, depending on certain conditions. For example, after using the toilet, it is recommended that you wash your hands, so your Paras will do that now! But if you have a Sloppy personality trait, they will not do it.

After cooking, if your Para is hungry, they are also going to eat what you just cooked. Note that the animations and cooking props are unfinished and will be worked on.
Let's spy on Richard. Is he going to wash his plate after eating? The animation to wash dishes is coming soon! We used the wash hands animation as a placeholder.
Same action but from a different point of view.
Paras can clean their counters as well as other objects that get dirty. Characters with the Neat personality trait will also wash their hands afterwards.
Paras who are Sloppy won’t wash their hands after using the toilet. However, here we can see that Alejandro is not sloppy.
Roberto is on vacation, but still keeps his good habit of washing his teeth right after waking up.

Is it a bug, or do we just need one of these advanced toilets with a sink on top?
I made a lot of burgers to test those changes to the autonomy feature.
Enjoy your weekend and eat your vegetables :).

Actually, one of those toilets with a sink on top would be great for limited space/people who want to build tiny homes.
I don’t remember if there are height differences in the game but the kitchen counters seem a bit low for the para cleaning. I think that’s why it looks like they’re cleaning in the air. I think the counters probably should be a bit higher, since they’re at the paras mid thigh. I’m excited to see the future of these animations. They look great so far. Getting those smoothed out and limiting clipping would be so amazing. Great work as always
They use procedural animation when dealing with the height problem. They've used it before for Paras who have different heights interacting so they're definitely gonna do that when finalizing the animations👍. .
the para wiping the counter looks like he´s just doing it in the air
Not sure if this is already a thing but it would be a nice addition if they could put the toilet seat down.
haha, wouldn't be realistic, men never put it down
Love that the wake up action is automatically followed up by the brush teeth option! It's both realistic and makes mornings feel more like mornings. I agree with Clara M Johnson about the getting out of bed animation. Could Routine actions be implemented? Like instead of clicking on the bed and choosing "Sleep" you could click on the bed and choose "Get Ready For Bed" where a para would then change into pajamas, brush their teeth, maybe wash their face, read a book in bed (or a different action based on their personality), and then sleep.
I think it would be such a cool detail if Paras started eating the food before they reach their destination! Like they grab the toast they just made, and take a bite while walking to the couch. I don't know how complex this would be to impliment but I think it would add so much charm and realism to Paralives. I mean who's patient enough to wait to start eating when their hungry?
Well these Paras are better then my in laws, my older brothers wife and adult son and his wife, never wash their hands, and I know, because I have to live with them. I have a bit of a critique about how Paras get up out of bed, they get out butt first, backing out of under the covers, which looks weird. It would be better if they set up swinging their feet off to the side of the bed and then stand up, and turn around to make the bed, if they are a neat Para. Not what happened here. I know you guys are still working on the movement of the Paras, just like with having them washing their hands and dishes and things like that, so I hope how they get out of bed will also be worked on more. I don't expect them to literally set up and sit on the side of the bed like real, but just swing their feet/legs out on the side and stand up, not their butts, lol!
Idk if you plan on Licensing any tracks for the game. But if you do. "Tierras de Fuego (Ensemb7e Version) by Chapelier Fou" has major small town life sims vibes. (Subscribed again just to say this ♥️)
Will paras autonomously sit and eat?
I wonder if Paras who wash their hands more would get sick less
Is sickness a comfirmed feature?
Which makes paralives 18 steps ahead of most the human population.
I love autonomy I love seeing how these people do their own thing and how they adjust wen I do make moves But I don’t like vegetables so (bratty vice) no!
Fancy toilet sink combo: *take my money* Great call to extend hand washing!
I'm pretty sure they have those in Tokyo apartments.
Can my parafolk have the habit of putting gloves on before cleaning/washing dishes? 😁
Have only ever done that when working with bleach and I don't like how pruney your hands can get when water gets in there. 😅 But it'd be nice as an optional setting or as an automatic thing for neat Paras.
If you queue up a task after using the toilet, will non-sloppy paras still automatically wash their hands as part of the "use toilet" task, or will the next task cancel it out? (Hoping it's still automatically included!)
Everyday it comes closer I can't wait! THANK you for all your efforts!!!
I cannot begin to explain the slight scream I let out once I saw him dipping his toast on his hand and then eating, like his hand had sauce or something. Certainly a way to eat pfft lol
Washing their hands after cleaning is something I love so much, because I do this as well. I can't wait for the game!
I’m glad Parafolks are no longer nasty and wash their hands after using the restroom 😂
Alejandro is sloppy! He didn't flush lol
so true!
The amount of animations a game like this needs is insane! But also will there be multitasking. Like eating and talking.
yes ! it never ends 😅!
They will brush their teeth? On their own??? Omg 🥰
So many animations!! Even if they are WIP it’s so cool to see them, great showcase!!
i love that raw wood dining table and the clutter spread around! even with the unfinished animations, this looks great already and i cant wait to see more :D
They learn so fast 🥺🥹🤧🥺
I still can't get over how what would be a mod in the sims is base game for Paralives regarding all that beautiful clutter (and a plethora of other amazing features ofc!). Also, I saw how you threw in that vacation line...touche 😏🌇
Can Paras with the Neat trait also wash their hands when they come home? Before they cook and eat? And when they pet animals? Or would people see that as excessive and think they’re a germaphobe? Lol I don’t consider myself a germaphobe but there is something about being in healthcare that causes you to value washing your hands more than most
I don't think it's germaphobic either and I would love to see a neat Para acting this way.
Very cool, and love the natural and detailed animations even if they are not finished and/or stand-ins. Also amazing: the beautiful play of light and shadows on Richard's kitchen floor 😍
I loved the play of light, too! beautiful
When you say "good habit" of brushing teeth, is that just because he is neat or are paras able to develop habits?
There is no habit system, it's all based on the para's personality trait
Washing hands is definitely good, but flushing the toilet is also very important imo
Oups 😅
Ahh this is great! 😎
Yayy
Also hi Mr MustacheMan
Yes! As someone who works in health care this resonates with me! Thank you!!

HYGIENE🥳🥳👏🏾👏🏾!!! THANK YOU❤️!
