Paralives cheats and cheat codes

Paralives entered Early Access on May 25, 2026, and the game comes with a cheat console. You open the console with one of two key combinations, type the code and press Enter. The list is long, from giving money and filling needs to changing ages and editing the town. Since the game is in Early Access, the command list can change with updates; type HELP in the console to see every code in your version.

How do you open the cheat console?

Your choice is remembered

The Paralives console opens with two different combinations, so use whichever one works for you. With the console open, type the code and press Enter. Upper and lower case do not matter.

Ctrl + Shift + C or Ctrl + F1
  1. While in game, press Ctrl + Shift + C.
  2. If that combination does not work, try Ctrl + F1; both open the console.
  3. Type the code and press Enter.
  4. Type CLEAR to clear the console and HELP to see every code.

The game is in Early Access, and the command list may change with updates. The HELP command always gives the real list for your version.

HELP

This command lists every cheat code in your version of the game in the console. The list changes with Early Access updates, so this always gives you the most current version.

  • Paralives is currently only on PC and Mac, in Early Access.
  • The command list may change during Early Access; the HELP command gives the current list.
  • Some commands, such as town editing, can break the game, so use them with care.

Common questions

How do you open the Paralives cheat console?
While in game, press Ctrl + Shift + C. If that combination does not work, try Ctrl + F1; both open the console. Type the code and press Enter.
How do I see every code?
Just type HELP in the console. Every cheat code in your version of the game is listed. Paralives is in Early Access and the list changes with updates, so this is the most reliable source.
What is the Paralives money cheat?
There are several ways. PIGGYBANK gives one thousand, MAKEITRAIN ten thousand and JACKPOT fifty thousand Paradimes. If you want to type the exact figure you want, use the PRINTMONEY or SETMONEY commands.
Do codes have to be typed in capitals?
Upper and lower case do not matter. We wrote them in capitals on this page to make them easier to read, but lowercase works too.
Is Paralives available on consoles?
It is currently only on PC and Mac, in Steam Early Access. There is no PlayStation or Xbox version.
Do the codes break the game?
Most are safe. The only command that needs care is town edit mode; because it changes the whole map, it can break how the game works. It is a good idea to save with the SAVE command before trying it.
