Paralives Cheats Guide: Every Console Command and Easter Egg

Living by the rules is boring, so here is how you rewrite the universe.

To access the cheat console in Paralives, press Ctrl+F1 on your keyboard. This opens an overlay on the right side of your screen. If you type "Help" in this box, the game spits out a massive list of commands, but it gives you absolutely zero context on how to actually use them. I went through and tested these inputs, combined them with developer notes, and organized them so you know exactly what you are doing.

The Essential Commands

Before you start messing with the deep debug codes, these are the commands you will use the most. I rely on these constantly to fix stuck characters or fast-forward through annoying grinds.

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 Manipulation

Why work a terrible job when you can just print money from the console? Here is how you manipulate the economy and the clock.

If you picked a brutal narrator, you probably suffer from constant household disasters. Read my Paralives Storytellers Guide to understand exactly how the narrator difficulty modifiers drain your bank account.

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

You have total authority over how people feel, what they know, and who they live with. Before you try to spawn a new character using the createcharacter code, know that you need a valid GUID to make it work. You can find a GUID by typing showcurrentcharacterguid on an active person, but honestly, this command is notoriously stubborn.

Also, watch out for the kickselectedcharactersfromhousehold cheat. It currently breaks characters by making them totally homeless and buggy. Use kickcurrenthouseholdintonewhousehold instead to safely evict them.

If you want to just edit your character's physical look again, the editcharacter cheat brings you right back to the creation menus. If you need a refresher on how those sliders work, check out my Paralives Paramaker Character Creation Guide.

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

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.

Aging, Pregnancy, and Careers

Environment, Debug, and Fun

Before you type in toggleedittown, know that the developers mark this specific code as unstable. It opens a special mode where you can rip up and replace lots, but it might crash your game. If you are going to use it, save your progress by pressing F5 first.

Digging Deeper with the Parafolk Profiler

Typing codes is fun, but the console has a completely hidden second layer. When you have the cheat overlay open, look for the tiny down arrow next to the "Cheat Commands" text. Clicking this reveals four additional windows. Most of these handle boring background system executions, but the one you actually care about is the Parafolk Profiler.

God Mode Management

The Parafolk Profiler is a master list of every single character generated in your town. It tracks people you created and random NPCs you have never even met. If you hover over a name on this list, you instantly get a readout of their current stats, lifestyle choices, and job details. It also tells you if they are physically loaded into the world and wandering around, or just existing in the background code.

The top row of the profiler features a search bar so you can hunt down anyone you lost track of. You can filter the master list to show only your household, NPCs, dead characters, or children who were taken by social services.

The most powerful tool sits right at the bottom. If you highlight someone in the Profiler, the bottom row gives you buttons to instantly locate them on the map. Better yet, if a specific NPC is driving you crazy, there is a giant delete button. It simply wipes them from the game entirely.
