Paralives cheats list

Q: Should I use help first?

Yes. The help command is useful because available commands may change during Early Access.

Q: Do cheats work on Mac?

The May snapshot lists Cmd+Fn+F1 for Mac. Confirm the shortcut and individual command behavior in your current build.

Short answer: the May 28 snapshot lists Ctrl+F1 or Ctrl+Shift+C on PC and Cmd+Fn+F1 on Mac. Run help in your installed build before relying on any command.

How to open the console

The May 28 in-game snapshot recorded these shortcuts:

Platform	Shortcut
Windows / PC	`Ctrl+F1`
Windows / PC alternate	`Ctrl+Shift+C`
Mac	`Cmd+Fn+F1`

After the console opens, type help to print the commands available in your installed build. Early Access commands can change, so help is still the first command to use even when you know what you want.

Common command categories

Money commands in the snapshot include jackpot, lottery, makeitrain, piggybank, printmoney [amount], setmoney [amount], and payday. Their effects are visible in household funds, but use a copied save when testing.

Needs commands include reliefallneeds, reliefallneedsofallcharacters, showneeds, and setneed [NeedID] [value]. Use these when testing hunger, sleep, hygiene, fun, and other need values.

Age and life stage commands include setage [number], nextlifestage, and previouslifestage. Use them on a backup save because age changes can alter relationships, household flow, and long-term story state.

Skill commands include showskills, levelupskill [SkillID], and setskilllevel [SkillID] [value]. Check the skills database for the current skill IDs listed on this site.

Character and time commands include editcharacter, getpregnant, givebirth, killcharacter, reviveallselectedcharacters, advanceday, advancehour, and sethour [hour].

How to use this list

Open Paralives cheats and console commands, search by command or effect, and read the notes column before using a command. The table is rendered from cheats.json, so the guide and the database page stay aligned.

Before testing destructive commands

Commands that change age, pregnancy, death, birth, or time should be tested on a copied save. If a command affects the wrong Para, reload before saving.

Formatting matters

Commands with placeholders need a value. For example, setmoney [amount] becomes setmoney 50000, and setskilllevel [SkillID] [value] becomes setskilllevel Astronomy 10.
