Paralives cheat command codes for money, skills, relationships, and more

Long-awaited indie life sim Paralives is finally in early access, offering players the opportunity to play puppet master to virtual Parafolk: forming relationships, building careers and families, addressing their wants and needs, and leveling up their personalities. While managing the many facets of your Para’s life can be challenging, fortunately, there is a long list of Paralives cheat commands available that can help make things a bit easier.

Much like The Sims, Paralives cheat codes can instantly increase your household funds, level up specific skills, change the time of day, make your road to promotion a breeze, reverse (or speed up) the aging process, and even set your Para on fire. What’s more, developer Alex Massé and team have even thrown in a few cheeky easter egg codes for your amusement – and which we’ve tried not to spoil.

As a result, there are a lot of cheats for Paralives available, so our list below isn’t a complete one. Instead, we’ve highlighted those that we believe are the most useful for the majority of players – covering work, relationships, money, and more – and, most importantly, that we've confirmed are working for ourselves.

How to enable cheats in Paralives

To open the cheat command console in Paralives, hold the Ctrl, Shift, and C buttons on your keyboard when in live mode (like you would to open The Sims 4 cheats console). This brings up the cheats command console on the right-hand side of the screen. To activate a cheat, type the relevant code into the text box at the bottom of the console – where it says “Type here…” – and press Enter.

If your cheat command has been entered correctly, you’ll see a message confirming that the activation has been successful. However, if you enter a cheat incorrectly or one that doesn’t exist, a message will appear stating that the command does not exist. If the command does exist, but you’ve not followed the correct formatting for it – for example, you forget to include a number after using the money cheat – the message may say “Invalid command arguments” or "Invalid format."

To view all the available cheats for Paralives, open the command console and use the cheat "Help" (or "Cheatlist"). This brings up the long list of console commands available, but doesn’t tell you what each does. To repeat a cheat you've already successfully used, without having to retype it, simply click the message that stated it was successful.

Paralives money cheats

These Paralives money cheat command codes will have you rolling in Paradimes in no time. Just make sure to replace the “[number]” in the command with an actual number when typing in your code; for example, Setmoney 5000.

Paralives skill cheats

While it can feel fulfilling to watch your Para grow gradually more competent at painting, cooking, or playing the piano, sometimes you may want to gain the skill levels without any of the actual work. Maybe you’re a few skill levels short of a promotion or don’t fancy paying a repairman to fix your shower?

Fortunately, these skill cheats allow you to view your character’s skill levels, how close they are to leveling each of their skills up, and upgrade any of those skills instantly. Keep in mind, in early access, the maximum level for each skill is 20.

Here’s the list of Paralives knowledge and skills available in early access:

• Music [Guitar/Piano/Triangle]
• Food [Cooking]
• Fitness [Dance/Exercise]
• Technology [Graphic Design]
• Art [Painting]
• Repair
• Science [Surgery/Biology/Astronomy]
• Outdoorsiness [Fishing]
