🏗 Using the creator tools

The game includes two primary modes: the character creator and the build mode.

Paramaker

The character creator lets you shape your digital avatars. You use sliders to change facial features, height, and body shape. You choose colors for clothing and hair using the color wheel. Save your creations to the library so you can place them into your neighborhood later.

Build Mode

Build mode provides tools to construct houses. You drag walls to create rooms of any size. Resize windows and doors by pulling the edges with your mouse. Use the furniture catalog to drop items into your rooms. You can rotate objects in any direction to fit your design vision.

📖 Frequently asked questions

Does this game work on macOS or Linux?

This release targets Windows 11 and Windows 10 systems. We do not provide official support for other platforms at this time.

Where do I store my saved games?

The software creates a folder in your Documents directory automatically. Do not move or rename this folder if you want to keep your progress safe.

Do I need a Steam account?

You do not need a Steam account to launch this specific build. The software runs independently on your hardware.

How do I report a software error?

If the game crashes or behaves in unexpected ways, check your system drivers. Ensure your graphics card software is up to date. You can reach out through the issue tracker on our main page if the problem persists.

Can I share my builds with friends?

Yes. You can export your house designs and character files from the save menu. These files appear in your local storage as small archives. You can share these archives through email or file hosting services.

🛡 Maintaining performance

Life simulations require significant processing power as your world grows in detail. If the game feels slow, try these adjustments:

  • Lower the visual quality settings in the Options menu.
  • Close other demanding applications like web browsers or video editors while playing.
  • Ensure your computer sits in a well-ventilated area to prevent thermal throttling.
  • Check for Windows updates periodically to keep your system drivers current.
