New Hairstyles Showcase with a Little Story! 📖
🕑 Added 2024-04-26 13:05:01 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
Léa here to share with you some Paramaker content.
As usual, this post is for Patrons only so please don’t share it, thanks! 🔐
We might have talked about it before, but the most time consuming things to create in the Paramaker are hairstyles. Creating a new hairstyle is challenging for several reasons, including having a good rhythm, a recognizable texture while still being stylized, respecting the overall shape, and making sure it’s optimized. Since we want you to be able to create a lot of different characters, having a decent amount of hairstyles is essential. This is why, this week, I created a little story to highlight them, illustrating how they can be used in game to make our Parafolks unique while also helping in storytelling! 🚨 The Parafolks I’ve created are not official townies, I just wanted to mess around with some story telling. So let’s go!
Rose and Antoine’s Story
This is a little love story, about a couple that fell in love at first sight and grew old together. Their names are Rose Joly and Antoine Dubois. They met at 16 years old, on a Sunday morning, the day Rose’s family moved into town, in the little blue house right next to Antoine’s.
Here is an old photograph of them, taken by Rose’s mother right after they met. Antoine just came to welcome the Jolys to the neighborhood, and ended up staying all day, helping them move in and talking with Rose.
Rose and Antoine got married and moved into their own house. They had a beautiful little girl named Lily and they enjoyed spending their Sunday mornings making breakfast, dancing and playing board games together.

20 years later, they are still very much in love and enjoy spending time in their garden. Their daughter comes to visit every Sunday for breakfast with her own children.

Hope you liked my little story! Now it’s time to take a closer look! 🧐
The Bob Cuts
Bob cuts are timeless, here is 3 versions of this style, created by Sonia 🌻

A Story of a Receding Hairline
Some men are able to keep a full head of hair their whole life while others don’t, and we wanted them to be represented in Paralives.

When Antoine was still a teenager, he had all his hair! Here is the hairstyle slicked in the back that I created for fancy occasions. Sometimes you need to make a good impression, and combing your hair is always a good start.

Sundays are for PB&Js and PJs!
I’ve created these pajamas to mix and match and have fun with patterns! Here is a closer look:

New Hats Options
Sonia gifted us with two brand new hat options for the Paramaker!
Your Para is going out of the shower or on an outing at the spa? You’re gonna need a wrapped towel for their hair!

We already had a baseball cap, but we needed another classic piece to protect our Parafolks from the sun: the bucket hat!

That’s it for this week’s update! I hope you had a great time and enjoyed the new content. ☀️
Have a nice weekend!

I love the short bob options 😍 the more options the better
FlutterCat
I love it! and i would love a long slightly curly hairstyle.
Indefinitestew
I'm excited for CC makers to get their hands on the game because I doubt I'll be able to find a hairstyle in game that matches my own
Simmer sinner
i love everything about the story and all the hairs and clothing we have seen
Maxime Béland
J'apprécie la représentation au niveau de la calvicie, ca peut être vu comme un détail mais ca touche tellement d'hommes. 💕
Ludivine
C'est tout mignon les personnages sont si attachants merci
Star Zoë
Adorable! I'm amazed at the speed and quality <3
ladyteruki
Yes, sometimes you just feel like a big change ! Or after a breakup, or when getting a promotion, or... lots of reasons to want "a new head" !
ZLoves
See!! Because idk about y'all, but I'll always love me some Ed Harris 😂
BekkiRoss
Yes! I feel this too!
BekkiRoss
One word… Obsessed!! The Parafolks look so real and alive to me for some reason! Like I could imagine them as real people! And I love seeing more examples of teens and elders! *chefs kiss*
Megan Santucci
When my parents got married, my dad was 23 and already starting to bald. My mom said that was fine, he could look like Captain Picard! 😂
Megan Santucci
This is so cute, I love them 🥹
Lucie Baha
Have you planned that before the early access or after the parafolks will be able to buy clothes or items?
Und3rgr0und -
Love the short bowl! Makes me wonder if you're also planning on adding more "trendy" haircuts like wolfcuts and my personal favorite, the modern bowl cut (like kpop hair lol)? So far it seems to be more classic!
Nathalie Carluccio
OMG I just love it sooo much ❤️❤️❤️ The vibe is amazing 😍😍
Léa (Paralives 3D Artist)
they can have random wants like buying a new jacket for example. I love your idea of it popping for specific moments! Like maybe your Para suddenly your Para wants to cut his hair super short after having them long for their whole life
Léa (Paralives 3D Artist)
We hope to add some one day that would be nice! For now it's not confirmed! :)
Isis Barcelos
The difference between their teen faces and their adult faces is perfect!
Isis Barcelos
Is it just me or the para's faces (Even in the neutral expression) look more lively?
Raina Amorim
Cute story!! The bob cuts all look great
Sophia Kohl
Love the new items! Also, I know it's just a story, but does this confirm that there will be board games playable in game? That'd be so great!
ladyteruki
I'm loving the very short bob, it can have so many uses at different lifestages. Hm actually can someone remind me whether hairstyles are age-specific in Paralives ? I forgot. Will Paras sometimes wish for a look change (random, after a milestone, or after an emotional event) ? I also really like the towel. It's simple and yet absolutely necessary ! "A Story of a Receding Hairline" I love the styles but this sounds so sad T_T Now do women haircuts with a receding hairline ! XD
Ju2pie
Ahah thanks ! I'll keep my eyes openned for Girard on future post then 😉
Léa (Paralives 3D Artist)
it's name is Girard
Léa (Paralives 3D Artist)
You're the first person to ever notice it ahah
Ju2pie
Oh God I found him on another picture ! On the 9th picture of the "2024 Big Update on The Vegetation" post ! What's his name ? Rocky..? 🤣
200Hertz
The progression looks so natural! Love the little story. Definitely not thinking back to the Sims 3 Generations trailer and totally not picturing these two in a reimagined version following their lives.
Alice
HAHAHA
Léa (Paralives 3D Artist)
I don't know what you're talking about .. 😐
Ellis
THIS NEEDS TO BE AN OFFICIAL FAMILY IN TOWN I BEG YOU 🧡🧡🧡
Ju2pie
Great work team ! I like the new hairstyles a lot. Is it me or the rock on the first picture has a face ?? 😐
Saga Melander
Love it!!!
Andie
Woohoo! We are excited about the game, but we don’t wanna exhaust you, thank you for bringing us more updates.
Léa (Paralives 3D Artist)
Yes we will be adding more hairstyles in the months to come! (and even after that!)
Léa (Paralives 3D Artist)
Maaaybe? We have a big list of amazing hairstyles, Daphne's is classic enough that we could find one that would fit!
Andie
Wow, will there be more in the future? Cause these hair styles are good enough to show the hairdressers, they never seem to get my descriptions of the haircut that I wanted🫣
Léa (Paralives 3D Artist)
that would be nice to do for sure! Right now we're focusing on giving a lot of variety for the hairstyles though!
mygetawayart
I love the mens hairstyles, they're classic and well shaped. No weird bits throwing off balance.
MattSeibel
Thank you guys, now I have the perfect hair to create my Velma, I wonder if until the release will have one perfect to Daphne too 💜
tey711
I loved the generational storyline and how time changes not only looks but hair, too! Paralives is coming to life!! So good to see the head wear, too! Well done and I'm looking forward to more wonderful creations to enrich our Paras lives, ...see what I did there! 😁 Happy Friday! Oh, and loving th PJ variations, too!
BreakingGaia
Are all male hairstyles coming with a receding and bald look because I'd LOVE that!
Nathan Carpenter
I love the bucket hat!!
ZLoves
I think I may count as one of the rare few who can appreciate a man with a receding hairline/bald spot. It just makes them look handsome imo & it warms my heart to see this in Paralives 😂 Adorable story! 💕
Maxayn Henderson
This was great...next prom photos! or their first date! Loving it all!
ambitiousspicegirl
Way to make a hairstyle grow with you! I really liked this!!
SimMattically
LOVE LOVE LOVE the parafolks visuals and the hairstyles! ❤️
Amber
The story was incredibly cute and I love the new hair and pj's
Millie
This is adorable and the hairs are wonderful!
dcknx
Oh, those cozy vibes in the top pictures, I love it - just what we all need on a Friday 💚 can't wait for the game even more with each passing week, have a lovely weekend all 🐸
