I just remembered one thing I always wanted The Sims to do that Paralives actually hasn't done or planned to my knowledge.

MySims-style furniture building!

Putting custom furniture in your house that you designed yourself would be so sweet. That's why I like MySims! I just wish it were less of a grindfest and more of a simulation game!

In the hands of the Paralives team, I'm sure the furniture builder would turn into full CAD software somehow, given how well the build mode turned out. But if it were literally just the parts and templates from MySims with the Paralives pattern system instead of essence painting, I'd still love it.

Several updates today that I didn't write individual posts for.

Seasons, University Life, Island Paradise, and Into The Future are all now supported.

This concludes the initial phase of development. Now I can get experimental!

Into the Future - halotroop2288/paralives-ts3-ost

Adds support for the Into the Future expansion's soundtrack. This concludes the initial phase of development for this mod.

Added Supernatural support!

I've noticed I have a copycat over on YouTube now, they're distributing a mod that includes probably just the base game tracks. I expect their downloads to be taken down by a DMCA sooner or later because they included the MP3 files in their download.

Supernatural - halotroop2288/paralives-ts3-ost

This update adds support for the Supernatural expansion's soundtrack.

Added Pets support!

Gee, I kinda wish I could easily add settings for each of these tracks.
I probably could do it, but it would be a lot of effort.

Pets - halotroop2288/paralives-ts3-ost

This update adds support for the Pets expansion pack OST. But you already knew that. No new bells and whistles yet. Just the standard array of song types. I now have a script to make it easier to make releases with the new build structure. Updates will probably not slow down until everything ...

Generations is now supported.

I may try to reorganize the mod in the next update, so you'll have to move your music files to subfolders if you're updating, but judging from the download count I don't think that will be an issue.

Generations - halotroop2288/paralives-ts3-ost

This update adds support for Generations.

Can you guess what I added in the Late Night update?

That's right, more variety, and a lower chance for tracks to get completely removed from the queue! How'd you guess?

Oh, also Late Night tracks are now supported!

By the way, all of the tracks are optional. You can just add the files for ones you actually want to hear and the rest will just not play. This game is cool about missing files like that.

Late Night - halotroop2288/paralives-ts3-ost

This update adds support for Late Night. With the usual drawbacks from earlier releases. I've removed redundant draw bags which should prevent certain tracks from only ever playing *once* and then being skipped permanently. I've also increased the minimum on other draw bags so you get more variety.

Paralives’ first major update isn’t about flashy features—it’s about proving the foundation is solid. Faster loads, fewer crashes, smarter Parafolks, and building tools that keep setting it apart from The Sims. 🏡🎮 https://0x5f.sh/Varfrm #Paralives #TheSims #LifeSim #GamingNews
Paralives’ First Big Update Proves It Really Isn’t Just “Indie Sims”

How Paralives’ 0.1.2 patch, powerful building tools, and an ultra-creative community are carving out a very different space from The Sims.

Ambitions is now supported. I noticed I accidentally skipped a version number, too... Oh well.

Also, all previous versions have been reuploaded without the git metadata and ReadMe file inside. They're much smaller! That, and I disabled the other downloads so nobody gets confused.

Ambitions - halotroop2288/paralives-ts3-ost

Oops this is 1.4.0 and the last one is 1.3.0. I accidentally skipped version 1.2. Anyway, here's a release that supports Base, World Adventures, High End Loft Stuff, and now Ambitions! Still no radio stations or live mode jingles. I'm looking into adding jingles but they might just not be ...

I added support for the tracks from World Adventures!

The sub-world loading music is missing for now because I feel it should only be used while loading actual sub-worlds. If I could find an equivalent feature to attach it to, I would!

World Adventures (No Sub-World Loading) - halotroop2288/paralives-ts3-ost

This update includes most of the World Adventures tracks, excluding the loading loops for the sub-worlds. I would add those to a specific sub-world's loading screen if an equivalent existed and the feature were possible.

I made a mod that adds The Sims 3 Music to Paralives. Currently it just supports the base game's full-length music, but I'm considering also doing some expansions.
