yesterday (19 may 2026) aj plays sims posted a video reacting to the paralives gameplay stream. aj's video was about the fact that the all the plants in the environment move so much that it's triggering motion sickness and preventing even being able to watch the video without having to pause to let the nausea pass

in the video, and the comments, some very good points are raised about motion sickness, potential over-stimulation by the constant movement of all the plants (trees, taller grasses, bushes), and possible lag on lower end machines. the addition of a toggle or something to reduce or stop the movement of the plants altogether was discussed as a possible solution to this issue

today, alex of the paralives team reached out to aj with this response:

Favorite Inks: Tattoos for Paralives

Happy Paralives release day! I'm extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to play Paralives ahead of the release day - big thanks to the team for sharing the game code with me.

To celebrate, I'm sharing some of my favorite tattoo designs as custom tattoos for Paralives. I originally created this artwork for The Sims 4, but now your Paras can also enjoy it. The beautiful thing about tattoos in Paralives is that you can control the scale, the placement, and the rotation of the tattoo decal, so you can be quite creative with your choices!
