About Wants in Paralives

Wants are rotating wishes that nudge Parafolk toward snacks, practice, repairs, or social time. Positive emotions can speed skill practice; negative moods may block new offers.

What Wants do in Live Mode

Fulfilling a Want grants personality points and can shift mood. Many entries require timed actions—dance two hours, watch TV, or level a skill.

  • Needs and objects

    Home-category wishes push cleaning, buying replacements, or escaping a broken toilet until the lot is fixed.

  • Traits and reactions

    Sensitive, Grump, and other trait kits add special wishes that consume or ignore status effects.

How this fits Paralives Wiki

Use Needs & emotions for bars behind hunger wishes, Traits & personality for ability-granted wants, Skills database for practice goals, and {{goals}} for board requests and life tracks.

Turn on “Show hidden wishes” to include school homework and other tasks that never appear in the thoughts panel. Some wishes only name a specific skill or item once the game rolls them for your Parafolk.
