Paralives gameplay trailer proves it’s a real Sims 4 competitor

If it wasn’t clear that Paralives is gunning for The Sims 4‘s crown, it is now that the Paralives team published a lengthy gameplay trailer showing eight minutes of daily life. Many of the details should be familiar to anyone who’s played The Sims in some capacity, like increasing skills through certain activities, using those skills to get a new job, managing clashing personalities in a household — all the basics. But the differences often include features Sims players have requested for years, and not just the color wheel and option to modify furniture using in-game tools.
