Paramaker Livestream + Marvin’s House + A Last Look at the Town

Hi everyone, Chloé here, bringing you our last town showcase until the game’s launch! How exciting! Today, we will go over Marvin’s house, and I will also show you some of the areas you will be able to visit on December 8th. This Patreon post is for patrons only, so please don’t share it. Thank you! 

Rewatch This Week’s Livestream

In case you missed it, we streamed the Paramaker last Tuesday! Carina is hosting streams (for Patrons for the time being), leading up to the release, to showcase gameplay and answer your questions. Hope to see you at the next one (date to be determined)! You can watch the Paramaker stream in this post’s video.

Marvin’s House

We will start with Marvin’s house! A Townie, first introduced in our Paramaker Overview video, about whom we haven’t shared much. I will not be showing his family or his household today, but maybe you can learn more about them through his house. By the way, the bedroom that was decorated in this video is Marvin’s!

Marvin has a typical suburban house, but even our suburbs aren’t too far from the city!

His chic first floor showcases some of the bold patterns that are present throughout the house.

His living room is arranged like a conversation room; the perfect place to gather up and receive guests while listening to good tunes.

This bedroom features two very distinct aesthetics. I wonder whose room it is?

You gotta make the most out of the space you have when you have a large family!

The last bedroom of the house is definitely more mature in vibes.

That’s all for Marvin’s house!

Snapshots of the Town

Now then, I will bring you to places you can find around town, old and new! We have much more than what will be showcased today, but we want you all to discover the town and our biggest builds and secrets by yourselves when you get the game in your hands!

The factory now stands, much larger than it previously was (yes, the typo in Edwards & Co was fixed. Thanks to everyone who defended my honor on Reddit, though, ahah) and is now in its new and final location, near the water.

Things won’t be all cute and clean in all parts of town; the industrial neighbourhood is dust, grime, and construction!

Different parks are landscaped throughout the town for Paras to enjoy different activities. This one clearly allows you to do some outdoor yoga!

The countryside will offer vast lots for you to build your dream house on, away from the crowd of the city!

And of course, our town has a beach! The perfect place to build some sand castles, sunbathe, and more.

Well, here it is! I wish I could show much more, but I was told to keep the surprise for y’all 🤫 I’m super excited for players to explore the town we’ve crafted, and to see some of our best-kept secrets (psst psst, castle…). 

Today was my last Patreon post. It’s been a blast being a part of the team and the community for the past 4 years! It’ll be weird not to write one of these again, but I’m so excited for the game’s release!!! We are only 5 weeks away now :)

We wish you all a spooky Halloween!

See you around!

Paramaker Livestream + Marvin’s House + A Last Look at the Town

Hey guy's i'm Red, i'm new here, and i have one question about the deifinitions for wich pc can run the game, and a sugetions for the hair, i hope is ok to suggest it. Well lest go. 1. My notebook has and GPU classified as AMD Radeon(TM) Vega 8 Graphics (2 GB) (since i buy it on 2020) even though the other especifications are the same as requested to play the game, i'm afraid i won't be able to play... so can someone be able to tell me if this GPU is able to run de game? 2. I think it would be nice if we could (for some hairstyles) be able to decide how long or short the hairstyle can be, just like we'll be able to do with the windows and courtains. What do you guys think? (i think the same could be add to the skirts, dresses, jumpsuits, and pants/shorts *pls forguive me for opining so much) Also, sorry for my english, is not my first language (Brazilian fan here BTW) ooooooooooi galera :)

Red T. Ray

Can't wait 😍😍😍😍

Nathalie Carluccio

Reena and Axel are both delightful and kind, I like them, I'm not complaining about them as people, yet I would've chosen people who actually know about the features of the para creator. I would also suggest you pick 2 people who are more chaotic who would more likely create a weirder Para so they could showcase the extremes, such as body types, skin color, pointed ears, wacky hair options, beards on feminine frame Paras! Reena seemed to fixate on creating her Para and ignored a lot of the chat suggestions. Axel was very good at fielding questions, and Reena was very good at ignoring them.

Donald Luse

Oh no, I'm not ready for your last posts :cc So glad for being able to follow all your hard work up until this days, thank you so much!!

Millena Xavier

Nope.

Donald Luse

I keep skipping ahead, do they ever change the ears to pointed "elf" ears??

Donald Luse

On the feminine frame its harder to tell the full range of the butt slider, I hope it's more obvious on the male frame.

Donald Luse

Nurseries are already in game as a rabbit hole :) I heard some people are already planning mods for private schools

Shanice A

Hello! I was just wondering how schools will work for gameplay and suggest if we could maybe have private and boarding schools and daycare added? Like nurseries? I’ve just joined so I don’t know a lot about what’s in motion already but I’m just so excited for all of this to be happening

Emily

not to be annoying, but most people have straight to wavy hair ! curly/afro hair are not as present irl than other type of hair. i wouldn't mind having a 50/50 of black and white hair, but as long as there is (around) 1/3 of the hair that are for black people, I think it's okay. we shouldn't pressure them to add more black hair when they already have plenty enough, even if not the same amount of white hair. plus, black people can have straight to afro hair and so does white (both sian and caucasian) people !

Pixies

It’d be nice to see the same ratio for black hair to straight hair. Life sims consistently treat Africans like an after thought and have 10 straight hairs and 3 Afro textures options. People normally say wait for modders but being able to creat yourself is on of the most basic aspects of a life sim.

Kali

OMG and I thought I was pressed about INZOI!!!!!!!

Krystal410

I'm so excited to play this game! kisses from brasil!<3

Victória Guimarães

The parasols are seperate items! They aren't animated. Would be cool to have eventually!

Chloé Ouellet

Hi! I don't think more hair will be added before launch, but we plan on adding more during EA :)

Chloé Ouellet

Hi! I recommend reaching out to the team (to the email that you received the info from) to figure out the details with them!

Chloé Ouellet

I think they mentioned in the stream that the physics are still there, they have toggled them off for now tho as many of the new hairstyles and clothing don’t have them set yet and it’s a lot of work to do at the moment

Cesar A

I can't handle the waiting 😭😭😭 You did such a great work on this game 😍😍 THANK YOU SOOO MUCH TEAM ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nathalie Carluccio

What happens if we missed the 60 day window to submit our images to be recreated in the game?

Trinity Smith

Hi! I have a question! Will more hair be added before the EA? Because there are several long, straight hairstyles, but not a completely wavy, long one.

Lolo Nyan

Thank you for all your hard work Chloé. I shall really miss your posts ☹️. I can't believe we are so close to being able to play this game...so excited!!!

Mysteri

Thanks for sharing the livestream and Marvin's House. I hope the ceilings indoors will be fixed but it seems you are already aware of that. About the paramaker I'm curious about the other life stages and personaly think it's such a shame they weren't shown in this Lifestream but understand your decision of presenting them later. Also very impressed in how much is already included in the paramaker considering it will be soon released as early access. Since you did a livestream about paramaker and building I'd like to know if you are planning to do a Lifestream about the Gameplay for example playing through a day or so of a para in a Lifestream because except for trailers and short animation videos we haven't really seen a lot of that.

Nelly Stein

+1 I need an answer for this aswellll

Erevaia

hi y’all! super excited to be so close to release. while we’re talking families, I still don’t think we’ve ever had an answer: will queer couples be able to have kids??? I think I remember someone saying a long time ago that adoption wouldn’t be in early access, but I’d be cool even just fully ignoring science if that makes children possible lol.

Emily

Good catch! Must be a bug they should look at!

Sophie

As a short torso'd human I was floored by the waist slider moving up and down the torso! I'm going to get LOST in the paramaker!

Sophie

Wow! The city looks absolutely beautiful and atmospheric! I can’t wait for December 8th! I’ve recently joined as a patron and haven’t found an answer to my question yet: will the camera in live mode be controllable with WASD keys (I mean the camera itself, not the Para)? I really love following my characters smoothly with the camera like in a movie instead of dragging it around with the mouse. Thanks for all your hard work, the game already feels magical

izzi M

Did to you guy get rid of the "jiggle" effects on the cow costume and the fluid motion of the hair? I assume that was causing problems with animations.

Alyson Betancourt

The Paramaker was the part that I was anticipating more for and it is MUCH better than I expected. Now I'm worried that this will be all the game to me, that I will be creating Para after Para without even playing with them! Hahahhahahaha!!

Panthro Samah

It's really cool that you can have more than one outfit too! The paras will change clothes between them, right? Like, if I go to the gym, they will put one of the sports clothes that I have, for what I understood. It will be cool to watch they "choosing" a different outfit each time.

Panthro Samah

looks awesome! looking forward to the release :)

andi_paradise

The town looks amazing! Nice to see the cafe we saw in the gameplay video is actually a beachfront cafe! And that yellow house brings back memories! 🥰 thanks Chloé for all your posts!!

Another Plumbob

22:57 I think the tattoos and birthmarks swapped sides for some reason?

SirStruffle

OMG guyssssss I love this sooooo much , I love that there are so many slidersssssssssssss (I love making characters so this should be fun) I am very impressed and I can’t wait for December 8th

LBoogie

This game is too good to be true😍

Ku Nilsen

Love it! I can't wait to get my hands on this. December 8th can't come soon enough! So excited to see the family gameplay with all the different ages. I'm already planning to start a legacy, something I've never been able to do in the game that shall not be named <3

simplepixelss

I just want to say, I absolutely adore the trees and bushes etc...I think you guys did an awesome job with its style! They're just so prettyyyyy

mazyfly

Oh no! Did Andi's tattoos & birthmark flip sides on the Work outfit? :O Loved the stream though, it was really cool to see it closer in action! The sliders seem really easy to use :D

Cynethryth

I hope we will be able to sort of flatten the profile more, we could do that in The Sims 3, and I miss that with TS4, especially when they make their random Sims or townies face stick out so far, most of it is the jaw and chin though, meaning you can't push back the face a bit, you can only do that with the jaw and chin and nose, but not the rest. Not everyone's face comes out really far, mine doesn't! Looking at the picture of the beach, I was wondering if the umbrellas can be open and closed or if there are just opened ones and closed ones all just for decor? It would be cool if we could open them, so our Paras could walk up and open them, before sitting down!

Clara M Johnson

I love how complex are the skin tones! It's not just the color of the skin, you can change the color of the lips, the blush, the highlights... You can really represent any skin tone with it.

Panthro Samah

Hi! So full on beards will overwrite the rest, but you can combine different mustaches with goatees and short beards :)

Chloé Ouellet

Everything looks amazing, team! December 8 can’t come quick enough! Happy Halloween everyone! 👻🎃

Samster

I hope we can save paras after we've made them. I want to make loads

I kinda forGoT

the hand size slider is amazing 😂

Max

The beds being different sizes seems to me an indication that the residents are different sizes as well. Probably a teen and a younger child?

BonaparteBardithion .

Wow, five weeks until the release! How this time has both dragged on and passed in the blink of an eye.

Arthur

Will it also make a Halloween costume? How will you wear it?

Christoph Frederik

Are there any plans (even if for far in the future; I can wait) for a party or formal section in the clothes?

Jessica Wolfman

The customization looks amazing! It would be cool to have facial asymmetry someday if you ever reconsider it.

Luca Wight

Everything is looking amazing, I'm loving it! Do you know if they kept that system of having layers in the beards? For example: being able to put on a mustache on its own or a mustache on top of a stubble beard? I remember that in the first promotional videos for Paramaker they had that and it's cool for creating endless combinations.

Alexsandro Gnovatto

I hope there is a tiny lot near the industrial neighbourhood for rags-to-riches gameplay... sometimes, I build an abandoned shed or an ugly, concrete public toilet to serve as a base. I love the fact that we get "ugly" build items from the get-go. <3 Also, I am guessing Marvin has two daughters, but I am not sure if they are twins... the room indicates older children, due to the lack of toys and the need for computers/study desks. It could be an older teen and a slightly younger one, but personally I think twins would be fun. On a sidenote, I am glad the game allows for easy modding, as the same build items have a tendency to show up in several builds (like the records on the wall and the bold wallpaper with the overlapping ovals), and if you've seen the same bits in several builds, it can get a bit repetitive, even with different colours. It might also just be a symptom of having been built by the same few people - builders have their favourite objects.

Vera Ohlsen

The Paramaker looks awesome, just like your Boo Headset and the Leviathan Costume. I like that you can set several Outfits, that just makes everything way more practical.

Fenriswolfer

Sliding down my bathroom floor bcs December isn’t here yet 😔

Kali

Thank you so much for the hard work. It looks amazing already and I definitely buy this on day one! ❤️🤗

Josephin01

I have a few questions: How many members can a household have? Can teenagers or young adults move out of their parents' home? Are there already twins or triplets? Can my child already swim in the ocean, or is that something that comes later? And the last question: Is it already possible to play challenges like Rags to Riches, 100 Baby, or Black Widow?

Josephin01

Thank you! I don't believe we have cataracts as an options for the eyes at the moment, but it could be a nice addition eventually! Thank you for the suggestion :)

Chloé Ouellet

it's something we are exploring right now

Chloé Ouellet

Thanks for the feedback! I know it's also hard for the team to only make the streams 30 minutes since there are a lot of questions coming in :)

Chloé Ouellet

Thank you Chloé! 🥰 Also loved everyone’s costumes! So cute 🥰

Jennifer

Glad halloween på er också! Jag har dock en fråga. Finns det möjlighet att göra så att paras kan ha katarakter i ögonen? Jag har en grav synskada där ena ögat har katarakter. Det gör inget om det inte är möjligt.

Sara Andersson

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh <333

Trisha Feder

At this point, I'm already sold on getting the game first thing December 8th. So everything you guys are showing us now is just the cherry on top. I'm already all in. You guys are doing the best you can with the limited amount of time you're given. I appreciate everything you devs are doing and have done up to this point. You guys are amazing and I just can't wait until the morning of December 8th!

Jordan Harrison

houses look so weird indoors because of the no roof thing. i hope ceilings get added soon.

Cervidae

I’d love that if it was a possibility

Simmer sinner

I think both the build mode and paramaker videos could have been made better somehow (I’m no expert), but I know you guys don’t want to spoil everything. They used a costume for the first outfit and then put the same outfit as the presenter on the para. I thought it would be unique in some way. I was left unsatisfied with both videos, however, it’s still nice to see how far you all have come and how much is included in both build mode and the paramaker. Lastly, I feel like build mode should have been 30 mins since they only furnished one room then cluttered it for the rest of the time. This one should have been the hour one because there’s a lot to see but it had to be rushed. Overall, I’m very excited to see how these things work and excited for the game! Can’t wait to get my hands on it. The town looks great! Can’t wait to play with Marvin and his family. This is so exciting!!

shyra bluminberg

It wasn't on the original map, so I guess there won't be in the game at release

Domon0310

Will there be a "business district"/"downtown district" with sleek, modern-looking buildings?

Chiara

Happy Halloween!!! Thanks so much Chloe! Loving Marvin's house. Wonder if the kids are twins....mmmmm. So excited! Can we go 8nto the factory? My teens need somewhere to misbehave.

Maxayn Henderson

I’ve been eagerly awaiting this one, I’m so glad it finally dropped! Seeing how truly gender neutral the base para is and how customizable different body parts are is a dream come true for a trans player like me, thank you so much for including all these wonderful options that I can use to represent myself 💚

Ozzy

Hello, thank you for this article, Chloé. Will Maggie new loft be revealed before release? Will there be a public stream on the live mod before release?

Lucie Baha

ALMOST perfect, but I think we really need some trash, litter, old cans, newspaper etc. on the ground to truly sell the "grime" and "not clean". Also some textures to make the bench looks withered, it looks way too clean and new. It still looks too nice and less urban and desolate. Just a heads-up.

Kayne

I'll miss y'all so much when the Patreon stops 😭😭 but I'm looking forward for the steam updates!!

Ana Caroline Martins da Silva

Omg December 8th feels so close now!! So excited to get my grubby lil hands on this game🙌✨

Lisa Hedlund

we will have some upcoming livestreams that will focus on live mode :)

Chloé Ouellet

that would be really cool! Not planned for Early Access release, but definitely something we can add down the line :)

Chloé Ouellet

Omg! this is so amazing to see I can’t wait 🥰😍

Solaris

Will the environment effect the paras mood? Living in the industrial area is maybe cheap but not so pleasant for the paras?

Flinka

Please please… just show live mode

Barna Brooks

Chez Maurice is still next to the factory, we made sure they were together :)

Chloé Ouellet

Marvin's family looks like they'll be so much fun to play! I love the juxtaposition of the house having bolder, darker colors except for the bedroom having some pink; i assume one daughter likes lighter colors vs. the rest of her family. I think that'll be a fun storyline to play! I hope you all have a good Halloween!

~Cathy~

You still have 5 weeks of Patreon posts left by other team members!!

Chloé Ouellet

Just to clarify, there will be patreon posts until the game's Early Access release, it's just my last one! Other team members will take over :)

Chloé Ouellet

What an exciting last post Chloe! Thank you for showing us the town for one last time, these are my favorite updates as I really can’t wait to explore 😍 Since the factory has been reallocated, will Chez Maurice restaurant still be next to it, or plans changed? I can’t wait for the lore and the plans to renovate / reutilize this abandoned factory, specially now that is so much bigger! I love that there’s technically 3 floors in Marvin’s house with the basement which you can barely tell from the outside. My bet is that he has 2 twin girls, with the addition of the older child. Idk if this is the plan already, but I hope Marvin is running for president of the town 😂😂😂 I’m also excited about the Italian restaurant we see on the background, and all the housing situation on top of shops / etc, that you’ve managed to add on. We’re almost there ❤️ Last but not least, thank you for the livestream. It felt very short, or maybe that’s just cause i would have happily watched hours of it 😂 Hope the next one is about gameplay, and can’t wait already 😁

Cassia Teixeira

I'm not a builder and don't generally enjoy creating characters (I'm all about live mode) but your systems look really cool and easy to use so I'm actually really excited to try it!! Love the height slider, layering of outfits and posture?!?! So cool. Andi looked so cute. Can't believe it's only 5 more weeks 🥹

Noeba

Noo, we'll miss you Chloé! The town looks so beautiful and I'm so eager to explore it allll!

mazyfly

It's just Chloé's last post, not the last Patreon post before ea release 🙂 *edit to add: the team take turns writing the posts so it will be someone else's turn next week

Cynethryth

oh no, no more patreon posts updates till launch? I get that you're all probably in crunch time to polish as much as possible till early access launches, but I'll be sad not to see anymore sneak peeks till 12/8. I think that's going to make things even more antsy for me. Are there plans for at least another livestream before launch?

Kechi

Thanks Chloe for the post! Can't wait to explore the town!

phoenix grey

I couldn't be more excited for it!!!!

Agata Kurek

I'm very excited about the town! Will there be a grocery store?

Flinka

„Düdüdüüdüüüüüü düüdüdüüüdüdüüüüüüü“ 🎶

Zissi D

Oh Chloe thank yooooou 🫶. I can‘t imagine not reading anymore Patreon posts 😭. The town looks so great, I love that there are so many different areas 🥳🥰

Zissi D

Woooow Marvin has some glamourous taste 🤩

Zissi D

Thank you sooo much Chloé! I'm gonna miss so much these patreon posts... Absolutely incredible the work on Mavin's house! I'm so excited to explore the town!

Igor Bricio

Thanks for everything you've shared, Chloé! 5 weeks is no time at all. Anybody else hear "It's the final countdown" song in their head? Just me? Ok.

ZLoves212

noooo chloé come baaack

AZTHER

Thank you for the post, Chloé! It's lovely to see the snapshots of Marvin's house and the town! I'll definitely watch the Paramaker stream during the weekend. 🍿 Happy Halloween to Paralives team! 🎃

AlexArt

Love the Expedition 33 costume, happy halloween!

Ema Bal

last chloe post 😭😭 thank you so much for this last sneak peek. And for all your hard work on the town - it was so fun to speculate every time when a town post came out, where everything is! I‘m definitely gonna miss that 😢

Shanice A

thank you Chloé! a wonderful post of a wonderful town from a wonderful dev crew! mega excited for December! <3

Paula Dan
