Hello and happy Valentine's Day!Today we want to give you an update on the Paramaker. As you know, we have been focusing a lot on the design of the Parafolks and the character editor, now named Paramaker. There's a ton of stuff that goes into making this and that's why it's a long process of researching and testing different stuff, especially for a small team like us. Take a look at this Patreon post to get an overview of all the work load that goes into making the characters and the Paramaker. So that explains why the characters are not ready to be shown yet. But today, we want to give you a sneak peek at one of the feature we worked on last week!In Paralives, we want to have lots of customization options. That's true for build mode, as you have seen but also for the Paramaker. For instance, we think you should be able to color hairs with the exact color you want using the Color Wheel. But also, if you want, you should be able to choose the exact color for different parts like the base, the root, the tips and the streaks. So here's an example of that with a low res crunchy GIF!Please remember that this is a preview for Patrons only, so do not share it :)

Please note that this hair model is still being worked on so it's not final.I'm really looking forward to show you more previews like this soon! Also, please comment and tell us which hairstyles and which other hair customization elements you would like to see in Paralives!Wishing you lots of paralove today!Cheers!AlexEdit: This post is now public as well as a new video showcasing the hair:  https://youtu.be/Q38gxPrDw0Y

I biggest pet peeve of mine is no hair physics in the sims games many other games have it.

PastelTigger

Love it! Cant wait to have a color wheel for hair again! So sad when they took it away in Sims 4. But my suggestion on hair would be to have long long hair! Sims doesn't have one hair style that is super long, only mid to long hair, Also if any way possible to make some hairs like creator CC Zouyou, she is my favorite hair creator. love the anime look, lots of people do. But you guys are doing a great job, Cant wait for you to finally put it out! Huge Fan!

Esma

This looks amazing. The opportunity to customize this much sounds awesome. ♥

Domon0310

Will the hair react to movement and environment e.g. running, wind etc.?

sofst

omg i cant wait

Megan Strausbaugh

I would love to see an option to make the hair as long or as short as you want with each hairstyle. It looks awesome!

Kat

OMG the style of the hair is so beautiful and amazing !! 😍😍😍😍

CJD

I'm very excited to see the progress you are making. This looks great!

Melissa

Being able to wear hats / hair bands / hair accessories would be amazing.

Earl Grey

I'm so excited! One thing that I would love to know is that will we be able to apply different acc like the hairband in the gif? For example, although I love the hairstyle in this post, the hairband is a bit childish for my taste. I wonder would it be possible to delete, recolor, or change the pattern of the acc?

LadyJ

As Genaye Deal above mentioned, EbonixSims is a great recommendation and something to refer too! It doesn't need to be as much detail, but we definitely need different textures (like 3c, 4c, coily vs curly, etc.) so everyone can feel represented! :)

Melissa Toothman

I would love some frizzy/messy hairstyles too, if possible... for grunge looks!

Barbara L Fetherolf

Love the coloring options. I've had my hair every color of the rainbow, and would love to be able to do that with a character as well.

Luan

I like this a lot, though it is a feature, the Sims 3 team was able to (more or less) successfully integrate. I‘m just fascinated by how you seem to include all these customisation options and still seem to have a game with a probable great runtime

Hestia

Take your time Alex. I can see that you are taking the idea and concept of hairstyles with strands just like The Sims 3. You can do it and I know you'll make it even better!

Heather Wilhelm

I love the low poly / cartoony look the hair has very well done ! 😊

Pibbles

Please include body hair (would like the option for both men & women)! Also for men’s facial hair it would be neat if there was some patchy-ness not just all perfect grown out beards. :D

Heather

I would love for it to fully integrate with CC. I spend hours looking through CC and i feel like it's a way to get more content into your game without you having to create it yourself. I love being able to add something as small as eyelashes to my characters. Designing the people is my favorite part of a game.

Seth

This is too good. The graphics seem so sweet. Take your time.

Kitten Walters

Would you consider making bangs a separate thing where you choose from a variety of hairstyles and can add different bangs to them such as curly, strands on the sides, loose fringe, thickly chopped bangs, or longer side-swept, curly bangs [which I'm pretty sure are in right now], super short retro bangs, etc...

Natalie Jindrakova

I was hoping for this kind of look. You are making make dreams true.

Kara Scarbrough

An Asuna (SAO) styled hair would be so good😭💖 but I generally like cute anime styled hair. Hair clips and hair accessories would be awesome!!

Latoya Mason

Cannot wait to see the final product

Sashi

Wow, that hairstyle is so adorable.

Bianca J

Wow it's really looking good so far, I love the customisation of it. As for hairstyles I would love to see nice curly hair options of different lengths if possible. Keep up the great work Alex and Team, you guys are really impressing us!!

Makoto De La Barra

I'M SO EXCITED! I know this is still in early development but it looks so good and unique already ❤️, I'm going to happily wait more updates.

D V

Looks so good!

Katie Struck

BEAUTIFUL!!! So excited to see more!

Vandi Bennett

Making bangs and length a slider/option would make customization alot more accessible

KittlynM

That hairstyle is so cute!! This makes me super excited for the paramaker!

Joy Kennedy

Oh yes, adding sliders would be a nice feature

Joanna Hinds

I’m not sure what kind of hairstyles I want I just know I want A LOT. I think also if you guys get ahead of the game and release a cc creating tool people can just make different hairstyles

Sven Unkelbach

I love the comic-style a lot. It looks detailed and simple at the same time

Sonny J

I hope there will be options (in hairstyles and other appearance/personality choices) to make characters who are real ‘characters’. Like in acting you would call them ‘character actors’. They aren’t leading men or ladies.. not glamorous or hip. This would mean options like crazy frizzy hair... or a combover (lots of balding and receding hair options, ideally - not just one), bowl cuts (think: Dumb and Dumber), and nerd dos.

Amanda Mangialardo

Oooh I love it!! Thank you for your hard work! I have an idea: maybe it would be nice if we could "flip" hairstyles like with the toilet paper showed previously :)

Kiiiwiii

I love high and low ponytails. Also. If you could choose to have bangs with every hairstyle, that would be really cool! And different kind of bangs too!

Angela Lang

Perhaps some fashions from the Medieval era all through the 30s-80s and various time periods during the ages.

Wristyspore

I would like to see different African American hair textures and curl patterns also dread locs and sister locs braided styles, etc

Fiona Cooke

Is there hair physics in-game? Will it blow in the wind?

Katharina Schmoll

Is it possible for some hairstyles to add sliders for the lenght? Like sometimes I really like a hairstyle with pigtails or a hairband or simply light waves for a certain outfit, but it's the wrong hairlenght for the character, that I'm envisioning.

Lucy sweet wine

Is there any chance to change the colour of the hair ring by ourselves? By the way, you guys do a great job, we can see your efforts!

sweetiecakesssxx

Has the hair texture been improved on any since ?

Hannah Jones

pls make the hairstyles and cuts inclusive (so from different cultures and different hair textures)

Hannah

Can there be actually long hair because in ts4 the longest is like upper back length when my hair in real life goes just above my butt

Libby Smith

I love the graphics style of this hair so so much! I really hope the hair has physics, so it can move in the wind and when a parafolk is walking it will sway, or hugging someone it wont just clip through the other parafolk.

RipeHam

The hair is so beautiful!
