Having a set of Paralives cheats to hand can make things a whole lot easier, as you set about running the day to day lives of your virtual Parafolk. There's plenty to keep you busy here, as you manage everything from their relationships, careers, and families, to helping them achieve their wants and needs while developing their individual personalities. This presents plenty of challenges, but fortunately we have a long list of Paralives cheat commands available that will easy that burden.
Much like The Sims, Paralives cheat codes can instantly increase your household funds, level up specific skills, change the time of day, make your road to promotion a breeze, reverse (or speed up) the aging process, and even set your Para on fire. What’s more, developer Alex Massé and team have even thrown in a few cheeky easter egg codes for your amusement – and which we’ve tried not to spoil.
As a result, there are a lot of cheats for Paralives available, so our list below isn’t a complete one. Instead, we’ve highlighted those that we believe are the most useful for the majority of players – covering work, relationships, money, and more – and, most importantly, that we've confirmed are working for ourselves.
Make sure you check out the Paralives roadmap for details on what's to come next during early access.
How to enable cheats in Paralives
To open the cheat command console in Paralives, either hold the Ctrl, Shift, and C buttons on your keyboard when in live mode (like you would to open The Sims 4 cheats console) or simply hit Ctrl and F1. This brings up the cheats command console on the right-hand side of the screen. To activate a cheat, type the relevant code into the text box at the bottom of the console – where it says “Type here…” – and press Enter.
If your cheat command has been entered correctly, you’ll see a message confirming that the activation has been successful. However, if you enter a cheat incorrectly or one that doesn’t exist, a message will appear stating that the command does not exist. If the command does exist, but you’ve not followed the correct formatting for it – for example, you forget to include a number after using the money cheat – the message may say “Invalid command arguments” or "Invalid format."
To view all the available cheats for Paralives, open the command console and use the cheat "Help" (or "Cheatlist"). This brings up the long list of console commands available, but doesn’t tell you what each does. To repeat a cheat you've already successfully used, without having to retype it, simply click the message that stated it was successful.
Paralives money cheats
These cheat command codes will have you rolling in Paralives money in no time. Just make sure to replace the “[number]” in the command with an actual number when typing in your code; for example, setmoney 5000.
- printmoney [number 1-1999999999] – Gives you Paradimes equal to the number entered
- setmoney [number 0-just over 2000000000] – Set household fund amount to number entered

Paralives skill cheats
While it can feel fulfilling to watch your Para grow gradually more competent at painting, cooking, or playing the piano, sometimes you may want to gain the skill levels without any of the actual work. Maybe you’re a few skill levels short of a promotion or don’t fancy paying a repairman to fix your shower?
Fortunately, these skill cheats allow you to view your character’s skill levels, how close they are to leveling each of their skills up, and upgrade any of those skills instantly. Keep in mind, in early access, the maximum level for each skill is 20.
