Hey!Thanks everyone for sharing your ideas for the name of the character creator in Paralives last week! Let's vote for the official name now. We picked some of our favorites from your suggestions. The result will be confirmed next week! I just wanted to say that many of you suggested Create a Para but we prefer to make it more unique than CAS from other games :) So we excluded that name. Make a Para (MAP) was also a great suggestion! However, we prefer to exclude this option because it could get confusing if there's an actual map in the game!One last thing: next week, we are going to post a short preview video on how you can use the Color Wheel on clothes/accessories. I wanted to show you a screenshot of that video first but keep it a secret until the full video is out sometimes next week!

Take care!AlexEdit: The video is now live and public! https://youtu.be/VgQuTYoBosEEdit 2: The post is now public and the winner is Paramaker! Thanks everyone!

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

Melanie

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 :)

Sara Attia

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

ladyteruki

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 ?!

Cláudia Almeida

I think ParaStudio sounds better and less clunky! ;)

Mushykins

I love PLS. There’s just something about it

Lau

PLS please!

Michael Power

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

Manon Grandjean

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

TED

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

Stermatical

My first idea would've been Paracreator. Oh well, Paramaker then! IDK but Paralives Studio sounds like some CC creator tool

Casey

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.

PixelPerfect

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

Gary Hardt

I like Paralives Studio.

ierofyre

Paralives Studio, pls! 😜

Lissa

Paramaker rolls off the tongue so nicely 💛

Jade Mulick

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

Stormie Drake

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!

Teagan Holloway

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

Simday1

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

Simtroverted

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

Sara Attia

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

Grace Sivils

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

Grace Sivils

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

Seán Matthews

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.

INKA

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

Montana Houston

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

PastelTigger

i love the Paramaker idea, very original

Kisica

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 :)

Kisica

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

Natasha de Beer

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

Trixia Lacsamana

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?

Huntu

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

Seth

(PAM) for Paramaker sounds super nice!!

Sabrina

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!

Oona

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!

Sharon

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!

Heather Wilhelm

Will there be any sort of hair physics ?

Rik Davis

I know I'm way too late for offering up a name suggestion for this, but my idea is "Paraform".

E M

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

E M

Or Form Folk...just saying :)

Chyna

I definitely like Paralives Studio. Simple and quick :)

Kate Hyland

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

Kate Hyland

I love this when will this be released?

Chelsey B

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.

talaynalynn

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.

ren

PLS! The acronym is same as “please”, it could become a double entendres! Pls choose PLS, it just sounds like it fits and unique
