Your complete
Paralives guide & wiki
for cheats, skills, build & Melino.

How the Paralives skill system works: Knowledge domains hold the practical skills, the level ceiling sits at 20, and lifestage modifies learning speed — toddlers learn social and motor skills fastest, adults grind technical skills. Full Paralives skill tables and Knowledge guide →

Force a card with the GAINSTORYCARD console command — useful when prototyping a save before a long playthrough. All Story Cards →

Paralives jobs are rabbit-hole careers — every shift has performance, salary, vacation days and perks. Apply through the in-game newspaper or walk into the workplace. Skills feed each career track. Full Paralives careers guide →
