How to use cheats in Paralives explained
Before we get onto the cheats themselves, we need to go through how to actually use them! Luckily for you, it's simple.
First things first, you need to open up the 'Cheat Commands' console. You can do this by:
- Pressing Ctrl+Shift+C
- Pressing Ctrl+F1
Once you've done the above and opened up the Cheat Commands console, you can type or paste your chosen cheat code into the text bot at the bottom before hitting Enter to activate it.
Certain cheat codes require you to enter a specific value, whether that's a number, a skill, occupation or something else! In those cases, we've denoted the additional values with a capital X or Y.
Now you know what to do, let's dive into the cheats themselves!
