Paralives Cheats: Full List and How to Use Them – Money, Skills, Age, and More
Paralives just entered early access, but the desire to "tweak" reality in life simulators is as old as the genre itself. The developers didn't hide the console – they simply gave players a tool: press Ctrl+Shift+C and type commands. No dancing around, no "testingcheats" – just open and use. In this guide – the most complete collection of all cheats found in the game, with examples and tips on how not to break your save.
How to Open the Console and Enter Cheats in Paralives
The developers kept it as simple as possible:
On Windows: press Ctrl + Shift + C or Ctrl + F1
On macOS: use Command + Fn/Globe + F1
The console will appear in the top‑right corner of the screen collapsed – click the circle to expand it to full width or full screen. Type commands and press Enter. Case doesn't matter, so MAKEITRAIN and makeitrain work the same.
Important: In Paralives, you don't need to enter testingcheats true or anything similar first – the console is always ready. Just open it and type.
If you forget a command or want to see the full list right in the game, type HELP – the console will display a complete catalog of all available cheats.
Important Warning
Before using cheats, keep in mind: the game just launched in early access, and some cheats may be unstable. Always save before entering serious commands (especially those that drastically change the world or characters). Some cheats require you to select a Parafolk first – simply click on the character before typing the command.

Useful Tips
Commands are case‑insensitive – you can type them any way you like.
Use HELP to see the full command list right in the game – the developers will add new cheats with future updates.
Always save before using cheats that heavily alter the world – some features in early access may be buggy, and it's better to be safe.
Some cheats only work on a selected character. Simply click on a Parafolk before typing the command.
Some "cheats" are actually developer debugging tools (for example, for texture or memory testing). In normal gameplay you'll probably never need them, but if you really want to experiment, HELP will show you everything.
