While most players aim to enjoy Paralives in a natural way, gradually building careers, relationships, and homes for their Parafolk, there comes a point when quick results become tempting. This is where cheats come into play.
There are various cheat options available: from boosting wealth rapidly to changing game time, adjusting Parafolk ages, and more. Accessing these cheats is straightforward through the Cheat Commands menu. Here’s what you should know.
Paralives is still in Early Access, so content may change over time. Updates to this guide will be provided as needed.
How To Use Cheats
