As I start my new life simming adventures in Paralives, I've realized that decades of using shortcuts in The Sims have spoiled me. The strategy of it all is brilliant, but if you're anything like me and just want to play in build mode sometimes, then you'll be happy to hear there are Paralives cheats to help with that.
It's just like using The Sims 4 cheats, and if anything, I can appreciate how simple the Paralives shortcuts are to use. I've been playing and testing its long list of console commands for a while now, so here's what I've found while trying out Paralives' cheats for money, wants, needs, and more.
How to use Paralives cheats
Opening the command window and using codes
We've got a quick and easy reference for players only interested in a Paralives money cheat, but if you need a rundown on how to use those commands in Paralives, I've got you covered there too.
- Use CTRL+F1 to open the Paralives command console (cheat window)
- Type (or copy and paste) your cheat code into the text field
- Press Enter
In addition to those starting basics, I've got a few handy notes for players coming from The Sims or other games:
- There is no initial command to enable cheats
- Paralives cheats are not case sensitive and don't require a forward slash (/)
- In the console, you can click the last cheat used to trigger it again
Basic commands for getting started
- HELP - Displays a list of all cheats (Alias: CHEATLIST)
- CLEAR - Clears all text from the cheat console
- ALIASES - Displays a list of commands with alternative shortcuts
- SHOWCURRENTCHARACTERGUID - Displays the unique GUID assigned to selected Para

Using general knowledge skills or more targeted talents
Just like with needs, you'll need (heh) to use specific IDs to edit your para's skills. Every Paralives skill has a main knowledge skill it falls under, and improving those collective knowledge categories makes learning specific skills (like Piano, Cooking, etc) faster.
