Paralives Patch Notes 0.1.6 (16th July 2026)

Patch 0.1.6 lands today with a proper overhaul to how vacation works. Paras now accumulate days off while employed and can request time away or paid leave over the phone. Behaviour that shifts depending on your chosen Storyteller, which adds some welcome flavour to how different save modes play out.

The other standout addition is mirror rendering. Paras will finally appear in mirrors as intended, a fix that sounds small until you realise how often you're staring into reflective surfaces in a life sim. Long chair animations round out the quality-of-life improvements, giving Paras proper sit-and-stand sequences instead of snapping in and out of position.

Beyond that, this patch is a bug-squashing exercise. There's a fix for Paras proposing to themselves in Together Cards, children no longer wrinkle when aging up from toddler stage, and that cursed giant mushroom pasta meal should finally behave. The patch also addresses a crash when stacking certain items and stops story card notifications from vanishing on save-reload cycles. Check the full list for every fix, including the correction to the "Make 200 Paradimes" want and the removal of a non-existent Outdoorsiness skill requirement.
