It would be great if we can create character with more (4 or more) arms, Eyes and legs. This stuff can help me recreate Gems from Steven Universe.

Liesl Basile

IDK why but it reminds me of a titan in attack on titan xD

Zorbeltuss

I would not like to be any of the super paras in real life because I already am one of them :/

Cali Ann Y.

Big feet so you can make Bigfoot in the game

Brandi Werthner

YES

Aixel

Tall neck. I am 5'2". Also, love the idea that people with long legs are weird mutants like these. Bless.

Kelly McCormick

Hello, I'd like to see plus size representation. I'm not a small person and I'd love to create something that sort of looks a little like me.

IdrilPuck

I just want a pointy ear slider and make elves

Phoenix

they've already show-cased that they are working on these! They showed them off during the first video of Maggie but they have reworked the body mesh system since then so it will be a bit different. However, they are totally going to be in the game!

Sara Morgan

I’d leave the extreme sliders to modders lol but What about height sliders/butt sliders/breast sliders/muscle sliders??

AlexAndTheDiamonds

None! It's all awful.

Lexi Ogle

I would use my great feet to stomp my enemies

Kyll

I'd be good to leave extreme sliders to modders... But i do hope we can modify the heights of paras

Giaduzza

btw the good news is that we will be able to modify length of the neck, arms, etc.

Giaduzza

I'm worryed if npc paras will be autonomsly genereted XD

DatGhostboi

Ok while I use body sliders I mainly focus on overall height and muscle among a few things but I be honest this type of extreme while a good option even for comedy too in game. I really can't see myself using it I'm sorry.

Personforsure

I like having choices. I can see how these sliders would make it so I can make my own ParaShire. If this will not be a part of the game, can this be a separate mod that is optional so that folks who don't want it, don't have to have it?

Personforsure

I would love to create my own ParaShire for ParaHobbits. For me, sliders like this would be great.

peblezQ

Tall neck makes me think of Candace Flynn xD

Teanna A Schmaeh

Not a lot of hobbit fan's in this poll eh?

Estelle

I would like to have ALL of them actually. In that way, the parafolk will be very unique. However, I don't need the sliders to be this ridiculous though :')

Amy Joscelyn

Good Ears makes it seem like mouse-people would be possible! That could make for a fun Redwall-style game, to change things up when I want a break from normal paras.

Anatasia

Even though I chose "None", but I do hear about a village where women wear many rings on their neck to make it longer ( I really mean super long).

BooDotBoo .

If people want to create para like this, I have no issue, but would I do this? Most likely not. I’ve never been one to use sliders to the extremes.

Luther Duncan

Yeah I dunno about pushing the boundaries to unrealistic levels such as these with sliders .... well that’s my personal opinion and I just wouldn’t use this mod if it was an option

Pippin Stanish

These made me all ugly laugh so thank you

CBaker

My favourite mod is is the Crusader Kings 2 "game of thrones" version of that game.

CBaker

Usually people mod games to fill in the "gaps" they think the vanilla version has. This is evident in the Sims 4 and why there is a strong "modding" community. Some making tens of thousands each month because they found ways to "enhance" the game (i.e TurboDriver)

CBaker

I am so glad there is an option for "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO",

Morgan Pynn

I like the idea of some of these as I do enjoy the "Breed Out The Weird" type challenges from the Sims. It's a fun and quirky way to play!

Annamaris

Just thinking of the possibility to create anthropomorphic paras by unlocking the limitations of sliders. "Good ears" already look very promising. If modders can create "realistic-looking" werewolves and even reptilesims simply by playing with the sliders and adding custom skintones in the other life simulation games, why not in Paralives, too? :D

Celina Mader

For the pure relaxation of my back and shoulders I would like these strong shoulders. xD But yeah modding like this gives great opportunity for cartoon or fantasy paras!

I think that the question in the post could have been asked in a different way. It might have caused misunderstanding/division in some readers. It's my wild guess that majority of us voted None, because (at least me) I wouldn't want to see a random big foot jogging behind me in a park. That would give me nightmares and I'm a 27 year old grown ass woman. Would I like to have all these (unlimited) sliders in game allowing for bigger customisation and creativity? YES

LETHawk

Strong Shoulders such a meme. I need this

Jojo6716

Strong Shoulders is the Para equivalent to the Thicc Kylo Ren Meme, wins by default.

Rachel Hayes

I think Strong Shoulders just became my sleep paralysis demon

Annamaris

Uh oh, what a nightmare for those who have misophonia! :s

Kanchaross J.

Big Brain have to be a meme. I love everything though. These all give a chaotic energy!

I JONES

Why would anyone vote None? It's not like we'd have to use that feature :D

TnT_Terry

OMG the ears are fabulous, I can see creators using this for possible Mice peeps, could get interesting! The others just make them freaky, but then again playing an apocalytic game, some others could be from toxic deformity lol.

RysingSun

This is pretty neat. Through mods even cartoonish characters could be made somewhat proportional to their shows haha. Not something I'd likely be doing but definitely interesting.

RysingSun

You're acting like they spent endless hours making these. They just took what they already had and scaled it far past usual limits. Let them have a laugh, they're working hard.

Nadeem Aslam

Mod support is good but if you take too long to market someone else will fill the space - build it so there is scope for additions but v 1 does not need to have every feature under the Sun - they can come as updates

Linzinha

The shoulders is the only one that I'm struggling to understand how it works anatomically. I think that maybe the torso should be angled out as well? Because the shoulder blades are what humerus bones connect to

Linzinha

Same! Mod support well integrated into the game is another thing that I love about this dev team

Wedona

For a clown it is enough if he has oversized shoes :)

Wedona

A "big brain" is only the brain and not the whole head. That would be good for super smart para people

AmbiguouslyAnonymous

The "epic" arms are perhaps a little overly long, but being able to have extra long arms/legs would be helpful for creating people that have marfan syndrome.

Akasha O'Connell

They're creating mod support in tandem with all the systems they are developing. I, for one, truly appreciate the effort.

Nadeem Aslam

How about a complete basic game first - just saying like

chameleonwren

fantastic

Vanessa

Epic arms to finally be able reach the top cupboard! And the TV remote will never be too far anymore.

Pike Martell

I would like pointy elf ears, however.

hjs_wells

Para 5 because if I can make the eyes bigger then I can make a chibi Para

NHFoodie

But imagine listening to people eating 🤢

NHFoodie

Definitely not the ears because I already hear too much 😂

Annamaris

+ Really like about the idea of having option to have scary looks. I already got too rempted to create Sadako Yamamura to scare my other poor paras. (Sorry, I'm terrible.) By the way, it might be quite neat if we had the option to choose looks per "clothes"/"costumes". It's a tiny detail but we could mark, let's say Halloween-related looks player creates to para, as scary and the others would react the changed looks the desired way and according to their personality.

Annamaris

Really support the idea of having the option to box mark the different types of looks for paras. If it is left for the game code to classify the looks, it may have depressing and even traumatic results for the players. Mentioning about this due to my own terrible experience the past.

Joey Frank

if i were tall neck i would be superior to everyone

Aww

great feet to match my clown personality 🤡

Elizabeth Gonzales

Big brain, because I want to be able to think of everything. 😁

Anna-Maria Kuru

Super ears please, if it came with superb listening skills, please. For everything social in life very useful.

Alex Massé

Thanks for sharing all these ideas!

Sarah

That’s what I’m thinking as well, like for example, if they have a super power like voice, maybe let them break a window with their voice or something and people would be curious to what’s going on? Or if they’re a fairy, they have wings, they can change in sizes and etc. Vampire? fangs, red eyes? Different eye colors on different clans? Para gets tired when going outside? Young vampires para do home school or online school or options to stay in school if they can handle going to school with the sun out?

Sarah

Idk. Maybe elfish ears? I feel like if they’re super paras, they should have different features like maybe they’re a vampire or something, they have red eyes, fangs, their face gets pale or they say to get tired from going outside and losing energy? Especially if they’re teens going to school, they would have to adjust or do online school/homeschool. I love the epic arms part tho. Maybe even if they’re born with speed? or super strength, they keep breaking stuff, or if their voice can break windows and other stuff. A fairy, with wings, able to change in sizes as well? 😂 I’m just brainstorming

PinkLyon

I think it'd be really cool if we mod paras beyond the normal bounds (huge ears, blue skin, etc) that other paras could notice and pay extra attention or have unusual reactions to them. Maybe there could an option during para creation to tick a box marking the type of look, say if we try to create a monster para we can mark "scary" or if we make our ideal beauty we can mark "beautiful" and other paras in the world will respond that way toward them based on their own personalities.

Cortney

Epic arms simply because I am short and would like to reach things lol

Andrea Owens

I like the neck length lol

AdeliaCreates

I like the feet cause it reminds me of Peggy Hill from King of the Hill.

Stonie Arbuckle

Because they're irregular 😌

napsims

Dang i want it all lolol

Starsickle

Arm Day! I know it's tough to deform meshes enough where animations will work without a mega sophisticated IK system, but do your best! If the system is robust enough - all that remains is at least clear work but for someone else. That's enough!

Emily S

Great feet so I can make hobbits!!

Fae

I would use those feet to be an irl Bratz Doll 😍

Sam Caledonia

What I see with this - and I LOVE it: You can change certain bones, which would make it possible to even further costumize paras. Some people have long arms. Some people have an avarage torso but short legs. Some have a bigger head compared to the rest of their body. I JUST LOVE IT.

LL

What I really want to see is a pair of elfish ears!

John Bergstrom

Who wouldn’t want Epic Arms??

Rose Klein

I strive to assert dominance with my strong shoulders!

Kieran Wade

Lmao this was great 😂👍

Jang

Hahaha I am not surprised with the result. Sided with the majority here!!

Bespectacled_Beans

Good Ears: Disney infiltration, part 1. Epic Arms: Reverse evolution. Reject humanity, return to monke. Tall Neck: If Paras could just randomly extend their necks to exert dominance, that would be the best thing ever. *My vote goes here* Strong Shoulders: She could put lumberjacks out of business by just punching trees out of their roots. Big Brain: Congrats, she's the newest Bratz member. Great Feet: Usain Bolt is like a tortoise compared to her.

Tanisha Maynie

I voted for the feet so I can stomp around town but now I’m thinking about the hassle of finding shoes 🤔

Hannah Varnell

If I had great feet, I'd match my clownish personality 💀

Maxayn Henderson

Big brain and big ears....I can be brain from pinky and the brain....taking over the 🌎!!!!

Jennifer Huber

One thing that I hate about the sims that I would like to see with our Parafolk is neck length. Sometimes the Sims random character generator makes the necks abnormally long, at least in my opinion. So it would be good to be able to make the neck shorter or longer, not just wider or thinner. That would be my preference

Daniel 'DazzaJay' Fitzgerald

I've already got radar dishes for ears IRL. :-P

tey711

Having to only choose one, I chose the ability to change neck proportions. People IRL may have long slender necks, short squatty necks, no necks, etc., which adds to their overall unique appearance. I would also like the thickness of necks to be adjustable, too. In addition, I'm hoping we will be able to adjust our Para's whole body proportions and features at will from the creation of their bodies, facial features (especially aging levels) etc., throughout their Para in-game lives and without having to resort to cheats. IRL, people's body proportions change from time to time for many reasons, i.e., weight gain or loss, phases of high active to being sedentary. Even women in pregnancy have different shaped bellies, while some hardly show others 'boom' right out front from the start, and some carry high, others low, (etc.). It would be nice to have more control over the 'uniqueness' of Para bodies overall, head to toe, from the start to end of their Para lives. Also, I'm hoping active Para Seniors do not keel over and die just because they go for a run or use exercise equipment. IRL, there are some very active Seniors who are healthier and stronger than people half their age, and they do not suddenly hunch over and grab their backs because they are still strong and healthy and stand straight. There are also Seniors who may be 70 or older but look years younger, so it would be nice to have control over the 'wrinkle' factor. As people we do not come from the same 'mold' and I'm hoping our Paras will not be 'lock set' to any one stereotype look or range of body motion. Food for thought! I may be dreaming out loud, but I believe the Paralives team is creating a game in which we will have much more freedom in creating unique Paras and I'm excited by that prospect, the team, and us!!

Kristina

I’m surprised people said “none” that’s a huge wet blanket answer lmao I LOVE the strong shoulders that’s too funny

Giammarco Victor Venturi

It would be nice to have sliders for clothes

Deborah Mutombo

No, dont you guys get it?! If great feet is in the game, then it could be Big Foot! (Or Big Feet in this case) 🤭

BonaparteBardithion .

Pretty sure epic feet qualifies me to wield a keyblade.

BonaparteBardithion .

I was gonna go for that, but then I imagined trying to slip a t-shirt on.

L.E. Cee

Damn why so many voting none? Have a little fun with this!~ I like big ears, makes 'em looks like a mouse :3c

Makayla Boyko

I think having the ear and neck mod would be fun for some people. I was specifically thinking of those that wanted to make animal/human hybrids or even try and make a fursona.

Fiasko

Who doesn't wanna be Candace Flynn?

Shelly Rice

Big brain would be amusing bit I wouldn't necessarily opt for this personally. For those who would like this, it's a great idea

Silivreniel

If you can make the ears pointy as well I would definitely love them. They would look more like fairy ears or elve ears and I would absolutely love to make fairies and elves, even though super natural is not planned for the release of the game, but with such ears you can at least imagine that the Para might have had fairy blood in them. But I think pre-defined or random NPCs should have "normal" proportions.

Nolria

Quality content

Sophie Goodman-Merel

Can't wait to see more character customization! And arms totally. I could reach tall things and wear the weird avant garde jackets with sleeves that are too long

Ella W.

Big brainnnnnn

Deborah Aittokallio

Loved this so much epiccc armsss 🤣🤣🤣

Celena Colegrove

Epic arms because I'm short, so I could at least reach things a lot easier haha

Gianna Nies

I want long arms to use them as 2 extra legs haha

Serasmiu

Epic Arms allows for Sasquatch like hugs!

Mirka Lintula

I'd like super arms so I could grab all my kids (4!) in to one giant gorilla hug together!

Maiden Minnesota

I would never do any of these, but I'd never deny another player the opportunity to do whatever they want. I don't play with vampires or mermaids in The Sims, but that doesn't mean other people shouldn't be able to. (BTW: These were hilarious!)

Andrew Montgomery

I already am the great feet one - my giant size 14 UK feet are practically clown feet.

Michael

Maybe one of these could be a secret NPC - acting as an imaginary friend for a child para or appearing if one of your paras has a mental breakdown. That way it doesn’t MATTER if they don’t look realistic…they’re not real and just in the paras’ heads :)

Emily Garrett

This is dumb, I love it

renssies

Pretty sure Para 3: Tall Neck is just a haunted version of Efteling's Langnek

ResembleMedia_UK

If you are gonna go super it's through mind , abilities and knowledge

Nicole Penny

Epic arms for sure, think of the reach you'd have!

Astrid Baadsgaard

I thought she looked like a mouse-human hybrid 😂

Krzysztof Pluta

Big brain to think BIGGER hahahh

Vanessa Albert

I'd like realistic propositions pls 😂

Heaven Moore

The good ears remind me of like fairyish creatures 😂

Daniel Carvajal

I don't like none of them

kirabook

Whew, this is nightmare fuel. Haha

mar

Strong shoulders. I want MASSIVE shoulders 😳

Aoife Kennedy

Big brain reminds me of ratchet and clank secrets 😂

Alex Massé

Yes! We're planning to add different ear shapes :)

Psych!

Epic arms reminds me of DK mode from GoldenEye

Marilee

Big brain. Not for the brain, but just to look like a bobble head hehe

Zuzanna Wawrzyczek

Will you add ability to make different ear shapes? I would love to have ability to make pointy elf like ears! 😁

Gabi Gratz

I like the tall neck b/c it adds an additional way to make your para taller

Dontia Vaughan

Big brain bc I already have a big ass forehead 😂

Lisa Sarver

Alien Eyes & Elf Ears were always fun too

Team True Destiny

I love big arms. My inner orangutan can be satisfied

Kamila Cecylia

These all look so funny :) I can just see a "breed put the ugly" challenge becoming a thing in paralives! I like big brain because it looks like a bobble head.
