Open codes glossaryHow the console actually works
- Opening:
Ctrl+F1orCtrl+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
<>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 FPSto pin a value to the top-left of the screen,STOPto cancel.
