Can you play as premade families in Paralives?

Yes. Premade households come in two forms: families already placed on lots in Melino that you can move into when starting a new game, and template households in the household library that you can place on any available lot. All premade characters come with pre-assigned personality traits, and many have skills, careers, and relationships already set up.

Do premade Parafolk have jobs and skills in Paralives?

Most premade characters in Paralives come with at least one occupation and a set of baseline skills. Jobs range from Barista and Cook to Full-Stack Developer and Audio Engineer. Characters placed in the town save have more developed profiles than library templates, which start with personality traits but no career or skill progress.

Where do the premade families live in Melino?

24 premade households own lots across Melino. Lore families like the Marquez, Barnes, and Darcier households each have a named residence. Other families like Chen, Moreau, Patel, and Pelletier are placed on lots throughout the town. 25 households are homeless - either library templates or unplaced town residents.
