The last time I was a regular Sims player was, well, in the era of The Sims. The first one. Since those ancient days, it's my understanding that the series—or at least The Sims 4—has turned into a platform for some of the most exotic and enthusiastic sexual experimentation mankind has yet produced, largely thanks to its mega-popular Wicked Whims mod.

So I should not be surprised, but maybe lightly scandalised, that the Paralives community has quickly made a whole medley of NSFW mods for the game, then promptly made those mods the most popular among players (spotted by TheGamer).

After releasing in early access just a week ago, Paralives' most-popular mods over on Nexus are already, well, just what you expect. The big swinging champ at the moment—the most popular mod of all—is called (I cannot advise strongly enough against clicking this in public or at work) "Parapenis", if you require some sign of where things are at.

Parapenis, which I have now viewed in my work browser, boldly declares that "Freeballing is for everyone" and gives your masculine Parapeople… exactly what you'd expect. Exactly what you'd expect comes in three sizes, ranging from large to small. For a wishful definition of small. Doesn't seem that small to… a friend of mine. Who I asked about it. Ahem.

That is only one of a suite of freethinking modifications. There's also multiple de-censor mods, genital and buttock sliders (that was the name of my band in university), adult toys, more pubic hair mods than you'd anticipate, and, of course, the Parapenis companion mod: Parapussy.

Some days I write about multi-billion dollar corporate acquisitions. Other days it's Parapussy.

Of the top 10 most popular Paralives mods at the time of writing, seven are fully NSFW, and two of the remaining three are underwear mods, which might be NSFW if your W is especially square.

The thing is, on a more serious note, the proliferation and accessibility of mods like these are probably downright essential if Paralives ever hopes to carve out space for itself in the Sims-dominated life sim world. It seems fairly obvious to me that letting your freak flag fly is a key part of the appeal for these games' audience. If the Parapenises are already there just a week after launch? That suggests to me Paralives is in a pretty healthy place, audience-wise.
