The developer really wasn’t joking when they said they added a lot of new items - as the image below shows, there have been over 800 items added to the sim in the last year or so. It’s difficult to see exactly what’s been added to the game, but if you zoom in you can see a few interesting additions. For instance, we’ve got outdoor furnishings like trees and rocks, but also a tonne of indoor items like clothing, furniture, doors, rugs, and more.
Alongside the kitchen goods, bathtubs, and life-sized cow ornament (?) there looks to be a pink anime body pillow, as pointed out in the replies to the tweet. You can’t say the Paralives team didn’t think of everything for their upcoming game. There’s also a bunch of food items now in the game including what looks like pizzas, baguettes, and more.
We’ve seen quite a few work-in-progress shots from the developer over the last couple of years, including this verycozy-looking living room set-up. There have also been a few updates on Paralives' gameplay, for instance, we now know that this life sim has a key advantage over The Sims -characters who can use the bathroom by themselves. If you’re hoping for some of your favorite The Sims features to appear in Paralives, don’t worry,you can still kill off your characters, it’ll just take a little more work.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
Stardew Valley creator says he had his reasons to announce Haunted Chocolatier so early, and “if I don’t post for a while, it doesn’t mean I have abandoned the game”
Eric Barone says he just can’t “let go” of Stardew Valley “to work on something that isn’t already established and meaningful to people”
Todd Howard “rolled his eyes” at the idea of Troy Baker playing Indiana Jones in the Great Circle, but the Bethesda boss later told him “you’re doing a hell of a job”
