How the console actually works

  • Opening: Ctrl+F1 or Ctrl+Shift+C. On macOS, replace Ctrl with the Command key.
  • Selection: some commands act on the active Para and require you to click a Para first. Others (PRINTMONEY, CLEARBILLS) act on the household.
  • Parameters: shown in &lt;&gt; above. Type them after the cheat name, separated by a space. SETSKILLLEVEL Guitar 5.
  • Achievements: Paralives ships no Steam achievements in Early Access, so no command can lock one. The console is a player tool, not a soft-cheat detector.
  • Aliases and scheduling: the mod system lets you define short aliases. Use SCHEDULE FPS to pin a value to the top-left of the screen, STOP to cancel.
