Localization note

Cheat commands stay English in every language version

Paralives does not translate command names: whether your UI is set to English, German, Chinese or Portuguese, the console accepts the same codes, typed exactly as written below. Some third-party guides transcribe commands incorrectly — the console then simply does not recognize them. The table lists the commands as verified against paralives.wiki.gg.

Why exact spelling matters

A third-party Chinese-language guide (games.gg) lists the fire-extinguishing command with an extra S. Typed that way, the console does not recognize it; the correct spelling below does.

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.

WeMod & trainers

Do you need a third-party trainer?

Do I need WeMod or a trainer for Paralives?
No. Every command this page documents is built into the game's own console — 101 verifiable cheats across 13 categories, covering money, needs, skills, careers, age, pregnancy, fires and more. Open the console with Ctrl+F1 (Cmd+F1 on Mac) and type the command: nothing to download, install or keep updated.
Are third-party trainers safe?
Neither we nor the studio test or endorse any trainer. Trainers are separate executables that attach to the game process: they can break with any game update, and a binary you cannot audit carries inherent supply-chain risk. If a trainer offers something the console does not, weigh that against running unverified software alongside your game — and keep a manual save backup either way.
