I think bigger bodies in general desevre a little diversity in gameplay, typically in games all the addition of the weight does is poke the belly out and make the legs thicker. many bigger bodies have rolls and dips on the sides, and on the back, and the belly might not poke out as dramatically as games make it look.

This looks great! I like that the faces look rounder/fat havier on the plus-size models, I always found it annoying in games that the fat only goes to the belly of the character basically - not realistic at all.

Plastic surgery would be hilarious in the game! Having the old ladies judge your para when they show up with new boobs and having the young girls ask then where they got them done X-D

Starsickle

Aside from having as many sliders as possible, make sure to include a few ways to affect the body morphs - either through exercise, cosmetic surgery, natural changes, or just plain old magic. When you put a lot of work into your own rigs and meshes, make sure the game can allow the user to show off what the tech is capable of!

Would be amazing if we could give paras "hip dips" somehow! I think they are such a beautiful feature that I would love to see them represented in game

John PT

yes! you can watch the "meet maggie" video on their youtube channel :)

Macanon Snow

We will miss them, thanks a bunch for the hard work and help. The bodies look unique btw

CheezePlz99

Would love to be able to edit the shoulder width too. I have broad shoulders, so that would be perfect for me.

Vanessa Albert

Will there be height sliders too? I would love to have Paras with different height.

Akasha O'Connell

Yay! It looks so good! Something I'd love to see is the ability to change the proportions of the limbs and torso. I'm short-waisted and have long arms and legs, whereas my husband is long-waisted and has shorter arms and legs. Also, I'd love it if we were able to choose an 'in bra' breast shape and a 'no bra' breast shape for a single para. It bugs me in the sims that you have to choose one or the other, and not all of us have perfect perky tatas without a bra (or even with one). lol I think I've mentioned this before, but I can't remember what post it was on, and thought I'd say it again, cuz I really really want this feature. lol And bye Camille. Thank you for your hard work. <3

Gerta

These look amazing <3 I was wondering if there would be hip dips too? It would be nice to have the option to have them :)

Sieben Starlight

they do!

Haley Tilton

I agree

S&M Gonzalez

Oh for the female body sliders can we make different breast cleavages will that be possible and viable in low cut tops? I was looking at this bra website called Like a scale between wide cleavage vs a really close cleavage

KittyPara

Giving it a hollow shape will be much more realistic. The human armpits are hollow which lie below the junction of the arms with the shoulder.

KittyPara

I think you should rework the armpits.

Kelsey Griffith

My favorite part about your base body is that it feels like it has a skeleton. A real human skeleton. Anatomically correct and believable. A smaller waist doesn’t look deformed or fake, and bigger hips don’t look cartoonish. It looks like a real human with real features, even though the current textures are not “realistic”. Really appreciate the work you folks do.

Roe B.

It's a catch-all term. It's likely just to replace "fat", and even that's a catch-all term (that people take issue with).

ramaru

Loving the realistic proportions on the body deformations! This makes me excited to see some or the facial deformations.

TnT_Terry

Great job team! Sorry to see Camille go, I wish her luck along her life journey. 😃

Christina Ozeki

These look great! Good luck for the future Camille. :)

Stermatical

I hope there will be as much diverse body proportions as possible. Is it just me or do the body proportions in Sims 4 look kinda weird? Anyway, thank you for your rather short but sweet time you had working on the game, Camille! I wish you good luck on your next projects! 👋😃

Kanchaross J.

I think it'll be incredible when we get to see everything combine together. Imagine seeing the body deformation with the height! I'm already excited to see the full PAM system!

Annamaris

Very pleased to see how diverse bodies it's already possible to create though it's still WIP. I'm very keen on seeing how it will it be developed from this point. It already looks very promising. I completely agree with Artem about limiting muscularity to textures and the need of having diverse muscular sliders. Inspired by this, I'd like to point out my concern about limiting breast shapes to textures (and shadows?) in feminine bodytype. In that other game, it has been rather difficult to create a feminine sim with AA cup breasts even with mods. For some reason, the game has been designed to assume everybody has the round breasts and "a semi cleavage" when being nude. That's why, it would be very satisfying if the skin details didn't limit representating diverse bodytypes in Paralives.

Sarah Liberatore

What kind of size range do you anticipate the Paramaker will eventually be capable of creating? Also, maybe I’m the only who feels this way, but I’m concerned with the use of the word “corpulent” for bodies that appear overweight but by no means obese (and this is coming from an obese person).

S&M Gonzalez

This is probably an odd question but will we be able to make neck sizes thick/thinner and shorter/taller? As someone above previously mentioned about fat distribution, will being able to give multiple layers fat or make it appear as if they do on different parts of the body? Like back fat and tummy for example

S&M Gonzalez

Thank you Camille for all your hard work for the game and being part of the community, and wishing you much success going forward!

Callum Brunt

These modles look amazing! They look so inclusive and diverse and i just love it. Will there be a way to dictate where body fat will accumulate? Like how some people have it more on their legs or hips and some have it mode on their arms and stuff? Im sorry to see camille go (did i spell it right?) she will be greatly missed. Thank you for all the work youve done to make this amazing game possible! One question. I know we've seen a height changer before. But im curious on if thsts still involved. And if so, how will that affect the paras growth? Will some paras grow taller quicker than others? Also, how will the different body types and heights affect the paras children? Like w pars who is more prone to gaining weight and being tall, with a para who is generally slimmer and shorter, how would their children work out in terms of height and stuff? Probably stuff that is still in development or that you dont wanna disclose. Sorry for being a bother 😅

kesionna

Awww. We wish you much success in anything you do in the future Camille.

Marie Daoust

Sorry if it's inappropriate to ask but if you don't plan on replacing her is it her decision to leave? I just feel like in your main post you mention it but don't go much into details...

Zeevryn

Very very cool! And good luck, Camille!

Heinel Wong

Would it be possible for the Patrons to create their own self-para instead?

Artem Grunichev

I really hope musculature wouldn’t be limited to the textures, but will be available as a set of sliders too, to create diverse athletic bodies.

Elizabeth Gonzales

That's awesome! I should have remembered that, but I have terrible memory. 😅 Thanks for all your hard work! 💜

Alex Massé

Yes, we have an height slider! We showcased it in our Maggie reveal video and we're still working on improving it

Elizabeth Gonzales

I'm really hoping you guys will have a height slider! 😭 I didn't see one mentioned, but I could have missed it. I am really excited about all of this, though! Sad to see Camille go.😞

Alex Massé

Thank you, I will pass on your words to Camille! Right now, we are not planning on recruiting another producer. Our team structure is solid and pretty autonomous so we'll keep going and readjust if needed

Anna Wendel

This looks awesome! I’m so excited for all the choices we get in the Paramaker ☺️ Good job you guys! And thank you for what you’ve done for this project and community, Camille! Good luck on your future endeavors ☺️

Alex Massé

Hi Xavi! Thanks so much for your kind words and support, it's really appreciated! And thank you for your questions about the Hero and Legend tier rewards. The reward to name a Para and an item will be delivered when we get closer to the release. We will then reach out to former and active Patrons who unlocked these rewards to ask them for extra details and what they would like. The same goes for the reward where we will create a Para. We will contact Patrons and ask for reference pictures, etc. Right now, we still need to add more customization features, more hairstyles and more clothes to the Paramaker before we are ready to create all the characters. It will take a little while but once it's ready, we will be able to create unique Paras for the Patrons. Take a look at this page for more info about the rewards: https://www.paralives.com/patreonrewards And don't hesitate to write in private if you have more questions. Thank you Xavi and everyone for the generous support!

Alex Massé

Yes, that's an issue we identified and we're working on that!

Sean McDorman

Love the body deformations, the corpulent ones especially look very natural. And a big thanks to Camille for her contributions - I know that job cannot be easy at this stage of the game. Do you plan on replacing her or will the rest of the team absorb her duties? Especially since you are adding 1-3 new members and her job was to herd you. 😏

SmirkyBoot

These body types look so much more natural than the Sims and I absolutely love it! And farewell Camille! It was nice having you around and I wish you the best of luck on your future adventures, much love <3

Kiiiwiii

Thank you Camille for being a part of this game! Hope your future brings good things for you :)

Diamond Nicole

Thank you for everything that you've done for Paralives Camille :')) you will be missed, but good luck on your future endeavors ❤ The bodies are looking great! Ya'll are doing amazing work!

Xavi Magallon

Thank you so much for another wonderful update! And thank you, Camille! I love this project, and can say that I am super happy to be a part of it. I LOVE how realistic the plus sized and petite sized models look, and so natural. ♡ I did want to ask this again, because we didn't get answer before (I totally understand, you all are super busy!!), and I truly don't want to come off as rude and impatient. I still wanted to ask if there was a projected time in which the Legend and Hero in-game rewards would be discussed? If not, I completely understand, since the base game has been in development!! I just didn't want to forget to ask about it again later again. I have been in the highest tier since January or so, and plan to continue to be in it, but I am still so excited to get a chance to see these aspects. I know that you all are so busy getting everything up to being playable, so it makes sense that this reward wouldn't happen for quite some time. I guess I just wanted any type of response, even if it's something like, "calm down, this isn't happening until a few minutes until midnight." :P Thank you for all that your team has been doing!! ♡

Brandi Werthner

Bye Camille! We appreciate your hard work! Thanks for helping this game come to life! On another note, the body sliders look promising! I’m super excited 🥰🥰

Alfie

bye camille ☹️ thank you for everything you’ve done!

Victoria Franklin

Sad to see Camille go, but I'm pleased to see all the wonderful work you're doing with the body sliders and with Charlie. It'd be nice if body/skin details were available as well such as birth/beauty marks, freckles, etc! It is all a ton of work though as you said, so I really applaud all the time and effort you guys are putting in and doing. As always thank you for sharing and keep it up!

Jonathan Colorado

I’m so excited for this game! I’ve been following closely for two years and while I sit here in anticipation I know the wait will be worth it! Thanks Camille for helping make this beautiful game!

Alaina Barnes

This looks great! I love that the larger Paras look realistic. It would be awesome if to see if you can include different types of bellies.

Lenny

Goodbye Camille💖I never had the opportunity to talk to you 💖

Becca

So something I was really frustrated with in the Sims when I made a plus size body: I wasn’t able to change how the skin would move on the body. For example, if I wanted to give my character a hanging stomach or fupa, I couldn’t. The sims just made any fat character look like a circle, and that’s not inclusive. I hope this is something yall take into consideration :)
