Paralives Cheats Guide: Every Console Command and Easter Egg

Pressing Ctrl+F1 opens a genuinely massive toolkit in Paralives, and figuring out what half of it actually does took some trial and error on my part.

Typing Help into the console overlay dumps out a long list of commands with zero explanation attached, which isn't much help on its own. I went through and actually tested these, matched them up with developer notes, and sorted everything into categories that make sense to actually use.

The Commands I Reach for Constantly

These are the ones that solve the most everyday annoyances, whether that's a stuck character or a grind that's dragged on too long.

Command	Effect
setmoney ###	Sets your household balance to the exact number you type. Example: setmoney 500000
completecurrentwants	Your selected character instantly completes all active wants.
reliefallneeds	Instantly maxes out every single need for the selected character.
leveluppersonality	Increases the selected character's personality level by one.
setskilllevel	Changes a specific skill to your desired value. Example: setskilllevel science 3
unstuck	Teleports your selected character to a safe position if they glitch into an object.
unstuckall	Teleports every single person in the game to a safe position.
extinguishallfires	Instantly puts out every fire on the map.
setage ###	Forces the selected character to a specific age. Example: setage 23
showcharacterrelationships	Lists every relationship and label your selected character currently has.

Money and Time

Grinding a job for hours starts to feel unnecessary once the console's sitting right there. This set covers both the household budget and the clock itself.

Money & Time Cheats	Effect
printmoney ###	Adds a specific amount of money on top of what you already have.
lottery	Gives you a completely random amount of cash between 1 and 100,000.
jackpot	Instantly drops 50,000 paradimes into your account.
makeitrain	Gives you 10,000 paradimes.
piggybank	Gives you 1,000 paradimes.
payday	Forces an immediate payout of your selected character's salary.
clearbills	Wipes out all pending household debt.
skiptofiveminutesbeforework	Fast forwards time until five minutes before your shift starts.
sethour ###	Jumps to a specific hour. Example: sethour 5 makes it 5 AM.
advancehour / advanceday	Skips time forward by either one hour or a full 24 hours.
clearsun	Resets the sun to its correct natural position based on the clock.
noonsun / dusksun / dawnsun / afternoonsun / midnightsun	Forces the sun into a specific position regardless of the actual time.

Character Control and Needs

This is where the console starts feeling less like a cheat sheet and more like actual authorship over how people feel, what they know, and who they live with.

A few of these come with real caveats worth knowing upfront. Creating a new character with createcharacter needs a valid GUID, and pulling one via showcurrentcharacterguid can be genuinely stubborn to get working. And kickselectedcharactersfromhousehold currently breaks characters, leaving them homeless and buggy, so kickcurrenthouseholdintonewhousehold is the safer way to evict someone from a household.

Character & Needs Cheats	Effect
showstatuseffects	Lists every active status effect for your selected character.
clearstatuseffects	Cures all viruses and wipes away all active emotions.
clearwantcooldowns	Forces the game to instantly generate new wants for your character.
levelupskill [name]	Adds one level to a specified skill. Example: levelupskill science
learnallskins [category]	Unlocks all knowledge items for a category. Example: learnallskins recipes unlocks all cooking recipes. You still need the actual skill level to cook them.
resetpersonality	Wipes personality level down to 1, destroying upgrades and traits.
gainstorycard	Hands you a free story card.
editcharacter	Boots your current household back into the Paramaker menu.
addselectedcharacterstohousehold	Forces a wandering NPC to permanently join your house.
clearallonselectedcharacters	Wipes absolutely everything: needs, memories, emotions, interactions, and bills.
printage	Tells you exactly how old the selected person is.
changeneed / decayneed [need] ###	Increases or drops a specific need. Example: decayneed hunger 4
setneed [need] ###	Pins a need to an exact value.
reliefneed [need]	Fills up a single specified need meter.
reliefallneedsofallcharacters	Fills every need for everyone on the map.
showneeds	Displays all the hidden math values for your needs.

Aging, Pregnancy, and Careers

This section handles the bigger life events, the ones that normally take real patience to reach naturally.

nextlifestage / previouslifestage	Bumps you forward or backward a full age bracket.
nextgrowthspurt / previousgrowthspurt	Triggers minor height adjustments for teenagers.

addstriketooccupations / clearstikes	Manually adds or removes disciplinary strikes at work.

printalloccupations	Supposed to list all jobs, but is currently very buggy.
printallpossibleextraforoccupation	Shows every perk available for your current career.

Environment, Debug, and the Fun Stuff

A quick heads up before touching toggleedittown specifically: the developers themselves flag it as unstable. It opens up a mode for tearing apart and replacing town lots, but it can crash the game, so hitting F5 to save first is genuinely worth the ten seconds.

Environment & Debug Cheats	Effect
setitemonfire / setselectedcharactersonfire	Instantly ignites an object or a person.
extinguishselectedcharactersonfire	Saves your selected person from burning to death.
setitemstate IsOn 1	Forces the physical state of an item to turn on.
generatemail / generatenewspaper	Forces mail or a new issue of the paper to arrive.
resetmailbox / deleteallnewspaperissues	Deletes all junk mail and old papers.
toggleedittown	Unstable mode for placing and removing town lots.
repairallitems / unspoilallitems	Fixes every broken object and freshens all rotting food.
cancelallcharacterinteractions	Stops every single person on the map from doing what they are doing.
cancelallhouseholdinteractions	Stops only your current family from acting.
resetmuseumdonations	Wipes the museum catalog so you can donate items again.
quittomainmenu / ragequit	Closes your session without saving. Ragequit drops you to the desktop.
save / zipsavefile	Saves your game. Zipsavefile drops a compressed backup on your actual desktop.
fps / capfps ###	Shows your framerate or locks it to a certain number.
eightball / cat / bear / hotel	Silly meme codes that print images or joke text in the console log.
randomizealldeformations	Scrambles a character while ignoring slider limits, resulting in a terrifying monster.
spin ###%	Spins a virtual chance wheel based on the odds you set.

The Hidden Second Layer

Typing commands is only half of what this console actually does. With the overlay open, there's a tiny down arrow sitting next to the Cheat Commands text, and clicking it reveals four extra windows most people never notice. Most handle background system stuff, but one of them, the Parafolk Profiler, is genuinely worth knowing about.

The Parafolk Profiler

This is essentially a master directory of every character that exists in town, including ones never actually met in person. Hovering over any name pulls up their stats, lifestyle, and job details, along with whether they're currently loaded into the world or just sitting in the background code somewhere.

A search bar up top makes tracking down a specific person easy, and the list can be filtered down to just household members, NPCs, characters who've died, or kids taken by social services. The most useful part sits at the bottom though. Highlighting anyone gives a button to jump straight to their location on the map, and if a specific NPC has been a genuine nuisance, there's a delete button that removes them from the game entirely.
