Independent Paralives Early Access guide

Known issues: identify the source before changing a save

A status-based issue tracker that keeps current developer confirmations separate from historical fixes, investigations and unverified player reports.

A symptom is not enough to assign a cause. Note the game version, operating system, mods, affected save, exact action and whether the problem reproduces after restart.

The 0.1.5 patch notes are the newest official issue source on this baseline. June issue posts remain useful history but cannot prove that every older item is still open.

Confirmed by the developer in 0.1.5

The current notes list partner jealousy during a kiss, inability for some players to create new clothing or asset swatches, canvases disappearing when painting starts or completes, and external mods or plugins potentially making every mod invisible. These are official investigations, not guaranteed symptoms in every save.

Fixed in a patch

Later patch notes record fixes for many earlier problems involving crashes, save reliability, fire, cooking, pathfinding, relationships, Build Mode, household nicknames and unloaded player Paras. Do not keep an old workaround active without retesting the current version.

These official images are paired with the feature they demonstrate. Historical captures are explicitly labeled and are not used to claim an unchanged 2026 interface.

Still under investigation

Only carry an issue forward as current when the latest official notes repeat it or an official update has not closed it and clearly preserves the status. Back up saves, remove external additions from the reproduction and check the official news page before attempting manual repair.

Player-reported, not officially confirmed

Forum or social reports can help identify a pattern, but they are not developer confirmation. Label them plainly, avoid presenting a mod conflict as a base-game bug, and submit a clean reproduction through the official feedback tool with logs or steps requested by the team.
