Paralives Paramaker: Complete Character Creation Guide
Height & Body Morphing
- Unlike The Sims, Paralives has full height sliders (150cm to 210cm). Height affects reach distance (taller Paras can grab high shelves without a step stool) and interaction animations.
- Body proportions are independently adjustable: shoulder width, hip width, arm length, leg length, hand size, foot size.
- Pro tip: Shorter Paras have faster animation speeds for daily tasks (fewer frames to animate = faster completion). Speedrunners use minimum height characters.
Personality Traits That Actually Matter
- Traits affect autonomous behavior AND skill gain rates. An "Artistic" Para learns Painting 30% faster. A "Social" Para gains Charisma XP from any conversation.
- Conflicting traits create unique interactions: "Neat + Lazy" creates a Para who stresses about mess but won't clean it — leading to unique mood buffs/debuffs.
Custom Content: Import Your Own
- Paramaker supports PNG texture imports for custom clothing, tattoos, and furniture patterns
- Steam Workshop integration: browse community creations directly from the Paramaker UI
- Save presets (face, body, style) as shareable codes — the community on r/Paralives trades "look codes" actively
