Character Creator Poll and Accessory Preview

One thing that I thought was a genius add to The Sims 4 was the CAS with story, where you answer a personality quiz about the sim you're creating and it auto-puts in traits and aspiration that fits the personality. I thought it was great because it often gave me traits or aspirations I wouldn't normally choose to play with. I was wondering if your game might or could possibly incorporate something similar obviously in your guys' own unique and ingenious way.

For the Paramaker studio, will there be an option to include physical disabilities? I've heard complaints about the Sims in regards to their lack of representation on the matter.

I love this when will this be released?

I love this its amazing when will this game be released?

Call it the PM for short :D

Cool!

I definitely like Paralives Studio. Simple and quick :)

Or Form Folk...just saying :)

Form Life would sound better, paramaker sounds really weird to me, absolute love everything else about the game so far!

Will there be any sort of hair physics ?

hey Alex, this was probably suggested before, but I would really love if clothing was stackable! as in, you could put a tank top of your choice on top of a t-shirt of your choice; or putting on multiple necklaces/chokers. thanks man!

Hey! I was wondering, and maybe this question is a bit too ahead and you don't know yet. But how many playable parafolks would be the max in one household? Will it be 8 like the sims? More? Less? Thank you for your awesome work!

Hi Alex, may I add a suggestion? An option I'd love to see in this game would be the ability to save things to a 'group'. Like with objects, we might find a set that goes well together and instead of searching for those items each time, we can find them in the custom group the player made. Same for outfits, the ability to save outfits would be really nice. Thanks again for all your hard work, I'm really looking forward to the finished product!

(PAM) for Paramaker sounds super nice!!

I chose Studio version. Just think how Paramaker sounds in other languages. I think Paramaker is better word for a player

Thanks for an update! On this video we can change the color of two parts of the headset, but not the pattern. Also shown on the counters. Can we change the pattern color?

First i thought Paramaker might not be that good but then i saw Dizzardy say it can be shortened to PAM...and that's actually good

I'm not sure Paramaker is a good idea because in short it's PM like private message. And if you'll make multiplayer one day :D it may be confusing I guess

My vote is for Paralives Studio, I like it most and PLS sounds good I really like the font in game btw, it's so funny :)

i love the Paramaker idea, very original

I agree, Paramaker sounds like pacemaker. And Design a Para sounds too much like Create a Sim. Paralives Studio is so original!

I really don't like how Paramaker sounds but I will survive it ;)

Paralives Studio seems confusing to me, it makes me think of music or films moreso than creating Paras. It's like if "Sims Studios" was in the Sims I'd think it was a film studio location. Parafolks creator had a nice ring to it so I went for that. Although I'd also be happy with Paramaker.

Also... super excited for color wheel for clothes too! :D

I like Paralives Studio but if there is a music career... that's what I want the studio to be called!

Paramaker is to the point! Paralives Studies sounds like a software you’d need with the game lol.

I like Paralives Studio because we'll be making pets too, not only paras.

Paramaker is in the lead, totally fine with me. IDGAD I just wanna build custom sized lots!

I like Paramaker, if you wanna shorten it you could just say Maker.

Paramaker! Paralives Studios doesn't make sense to me! Paralives is the game not the Paras we are creating! Paramaker makes sense and rolls off the tongue!

Paramaker. It's simple and has a clear meaning. Paralives Studio sounds like more like a creative utility tool than a character creator.

Paramaker rolls off the tongue so nicely 💛

Paralives Studio, pls! 😜

I like Paralives Studio.

Studio is weird ... makes me think of Sims or music. Make a Para is best (MAP)

Paralives Studio feels so clunky to say and isn't exactly clear on what you're doing (Parafolk Studio would make more sense but I'm certainly not pitching that). Paramaker rolls off the tongue and is immediately clear in its meaning. Feeling bound to a three letter acronym just because Sims does it feels unnecessarily restrictive imo.

Parastudio?

paramaker is pretty cute I dont know why it has that vibe on me lol

parassembler is nice and clever but I wonder how it would translate...

I'm surprised we don't have ParaStyles on the list. Maybe that would be better for the clothing designer or something.

PLS please!

I love PLS. There’s just something about it

I think ParaStudio sounds better and less clunky! ;)

I can't take PLS seriously because I'm used to PLS meaning "recovery position" in French ( https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_latérale_de_sécurité ) and it's also used quite a lot in jokes here. I mean, it seems to be the winning suggestion so I'll deal eventually, but I really prefer portmanteaus like Parassemble or Paramaker. As for the preview, there's something really crisp about how it looks. Don't know what I was expecting but that depth of field really makes it look good, and gives a nice "reality filter" to something that is also cartoony. Such a nice middle ground ! Also I like that for now we're seeing a mannequin, you tease XD It's also super cool to have those headphones as what looks like an individual object. God I'm just so excited about this preview, can we be next week yet ?!

I still prefer Make A Para but it wasn’t an option. Can we shorten Paralives Studio to Para Studio?

LOVE the wireless headphones! Being able to do this across furniture/clothing/accessories will be an AWESOME feature and one I personally can't wait to use in game! It was one thing I really enjoyed in the SIMS 3. Being able to actually match wood tones or recolor T shirts or even matching chairs to couches or bedding (pillows, throws, sheets etc). Keep up the amazing work Alex, Lea and Roxanne!! We can't wait for the next update. Cheers :)

We use texting on every platform. Paralives Studio/ParaLives Studio or PLS or (long form) Please. **Please come join us. PLS come design and customize YOUR Parafolk for YOUR world YOUR way!** LOL or AFK or OMG are all shorthand for concepts we all use and understand so PLS come to the ParaLives Studio and Enjoy (no Yawning allowed!) LOL

Colorwheel yesss! Also I was hoping for something like CAP but now that I think about it that name is a little too similar to CAS...DAP or PLS are my choices. I guess I like acronyms XD

This looks great! Honestly surpassed my expectations. Not that y'all aren't capable, I was just keeping them low in case 😂

ParaStudio? 🤔

THIS LOOKS AWESOME

the headphones yuppp

DAP was my choice, with studio a close second. I’m happy with results so far!

c'mon parastudio.. we gotta beat paramaker

Studio sounds a lot better and it just screams the ability to customise, love the name :)

AHHHH IM SO EXCITED!! I SAW THAT PICTURE OF THE HEADPHONES AND LITERALLY SCREAMED

IT LOOKS SO GOOD I'M SCREAMING

I’m with @Tom Lu Parassembler is witty and punny. Everything else is kind of... bland and I don’t think this isn’t going to be a bland game. It should have a name that reflects its playfulness and charm. The wordplay is cute without being overly cutesy. Parassembly is a solid choice (but a long shot, I realize) and it fits really well. Ps - sorry if you get this message a million times somehow. I’m on mobile and it’s being uncooperative.

PLS sounds so funny because it means recovery position in french. And it kinda became slang so i guess it’s a little inappropriate. I like Paramaker better.

I chose Paramaker but I wish it to have an acronym. I guess we could call it Paramaker Tool (PMT). Umm.... still not really catchy..

I like DAP, because its like making them dapper lol.

Paralives Studio is such a great choice. You guys could refer to it as "Let's go to the Studio!" when the user wants to edit a Paralive!

paralives studio sounds like a game company

Paralives Studio is rather bland. Parassembler is witty and my first choice.

Hehe, Parassembler.

Paralives Studio sounds a lot like the name of a music studio to me

I'm not sure any of these really work but Paralives Studio sounds the most professional (the acronym could be PS). However I think "Paralives Parlor" or "Paralives Salon" would suit a CAS better without being too similar to other games.

Totally agree with a previous comment that "Parafolks Studio" should be the name of modder tools/community sharing aspect. And I personally like Paramaker for the character creator.

personally I think Paralives Studio sounds like a good name for a CC creation utility and not for the character creator. I like Parassembler for the character creator.

Looks awesome

Design a Para just shouted out to me so I voted for it! :p

I think Parafolks Studio sounds more 'professional', like a real builder (not in the least bit corny, imo). PFS acronym would also fix the French PLS issue mentioned above. I dig it.

Paralives/Parafolk Studio sounds too long and kind of corny in my opinion. I also think it would be better to differentiate between the character creator and any potential tool for creating custom designs/items/styles.

Paralives studio sounds neat. Wondering if beyond it being a creator we could have an option to shoot photos there too? With like different backgrounds to add, poses, other paras, filters, etc.

PLS in french is "position latérale de sécurité" wich mean : "recovey position" (use in accident car or faintness). A lot of french people use this expression so it's very weird.

I like Para Maker Studio a lot but then the acronym would be PMS lol and that’s no bueno 😅

I think Paramaker is easy to say, concise, and conveys what you’re doing: making Paras.

Paramaker sounds a little childish in my opinion. Paralives studio sounds much more official

I like Parafolks Creator b/c it just gives a more gender neutral vibe and sounds kinda cute lol

Paramaker is my vote!

Awwww omg senpai noticed meeee MAP was my idea not even mad he didn't pick it

I agree with many here: Parafolks Studio is more accurate 👌🏻

This was tough but Paralives Studio is clean and can include more than just the folks themselves! Maybe custom stuff, worlds, etc. If the team were to release the program to try out Creating characters before hand , the other options could be disabled/greyed out etc.

I'm happy with either of those suggestions. What I'm really hyped for is next week's video. Btw I love the idea of headphones. I hope it will something that para's can wear while jogging maybe?.

I voted for Parassembler because it sounds adorable lmao <3 That said, Paralives Studio is a close second for me, but I feel like it would be a better name for a mod-making tool as it sounds pretty general and open-ended. Just doesn't seem like the name of a character/family creator, y'know? A variation like Parafolk Studio or something would probably be more suitable!

Maybe for those who’d get confused with the title Paralives studio as a cc maker it could be shortened or changed to Para Studio?

This looks beautiful

Much as it makes them sound like robots, I like Parassembler. Words that blend together have always been cool to me.

Love the headphones! Is that a pear on them as a little joke :)?

I was instantly drawn to Paralives Studio! It's sound unique which definitely caught my attention! I can't wait to see what the clothes are going to look like. ♥️🤯

Parassembler just rolls off the tongue. That said, I won't be mad if PLS wins.

"Paralives Studio" sounds like it's not just for create Paras. Sounds more like a custom content tool.

Paralives Studio sounds cool but Paramaker just rolls off the tongue well.

I love how Paramaker sound, I think it fits

Paralives Studio (PLS) is so cool!! Love it!👏🏻💖

Maybe instead of ParaLIVES studio it should be ParaFOLKS studio🤔

I do love the sound of "Paralives Studio" but saying "Paramaker" is so much easier and catchier in my opinion, so I voted for that!

This is so AWESOME!

Looks so cool!

Also, that screenshot looks great! Is the mannequin simply a placeholder or will the Parafolk be shaped similarly? But with actual features and stuff ;)

I love Paramker!

Only reason I didn't vote for ParaLives Studio is the PLS abbreviation. I've seen DAP used on discord frequently so that's what I went for. Still prefer "Studio" (nothing in front or after) myself.

Paramaker!! Ah! I'm so excited to see the color wheel in action!

So excited whatever come! Keep up the great work!

Come on guys Paramaker is better! 😏❤

Omg - Paracreator would have been a brilliant name 😱

Paralives Studio sounds great!

I think Paralives Studio shouldn’t have an L in its abbreviation - it should be (PS)

It's not an option, but I feel like Paracreator rolls off the tongue.

PARASEMBLER HAHAHA

i’m actually so freaking excited can we just have a round of applause for Alex! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I LOVE the name Paramaker! Parastudio doesn’t really say “you’re going to be making a Para here”.

I’m so excited!! Thanks for all your hard work Alex!

I'm in love with color wheel on everything.

I really like Studio! (As I bet lots of people will shorten it to!) Makes it sound... classy. lol

Thank you Alex for all the feedback on the game and things to come !

Great post, Alex! Looking forward to seeing the results next week. Paralives Studio ftw!

Paralives studio is awesome but I just can’t do it😂

I definitely appreciate the active decision to not mirror The Sims’ naming system 😁

NIce!
