The Complete Paralives Cheats Guide

UPDATE: Paralives Official Cheats for the Early Access Release have been updated, with many cheats intended for developers being removed and others being properly implemented!

The current list of “cheats” is about 300 items long, but most of them might not make sense for regular players, and we either will remove them, hide them, or something else. We used cheat as tools during our development of the game, whenever a developer needed something that couldn’t be a full game mechanic, it was added as a cheat. Think about features like showing a graph of fat/muscle skin textures to see if there were any gaps in coverage, or printing the amount of assets loaded in the game to investigate memory issues. There are some cheats that will help players, like playing with money, Skill levels, or Needs, but we don’t automatically create cheats for every feature in the game. It might be possible that there is no cheat to get a specific job extra, or gain a specific Relationship label, etc. We’ll work on these more during early access based on what people request!

The long-awaited upcoming Life Simulation Paralives does come with cheats for players to mess around with, which can be especially helpful for games in early access to allow players to easily get around small unforeseen bugs. This guide to Paralives Cheats will give you the complete list found in-game based on their assorted categories.

Since the game is still in early access, it is important to note that cheats can mess with the standard progression of gameplay very easily. By using cheats and console commands, make sure to be aware of what you are using or feel comfortable using them in a save without knowing exact consequences. Most cheats, if written incorrectly or requiring an additional command, have pop ups that will alert you to what they need. Some need selected objects or Paras, some need a prior cheat to be used, etc. However, there is no “advanced mode” like with testingcheats true in The Sims 4 or manually enabling cheats in InZOI. Cheats are always easily accessible by the player.

How To Access Paralives Cheats

To access the command console, use Ctrl + Shift + C on Windows and Command + Global FN Key + F1 on macOS. This cheat console will initially be minimized on the top right corner, but you can click the small circle symbol to expand it to be longer or to take up the entire screen. As you type cheats in, the console will provide suggestions to assist you with entering commands.
