Most players start with money, needs, or unstuck fixes.
- Use

- Use recovery commands after normal cancel, reload, and move-object fixes fail.
FAQ
Paralives cheats FAQ.
Short answers for players who only need the console shortcut, save-safety rule, and whether trainer downloads are worth trusting.
Are Paralives cheats confirmed?
This page lists reported command names and marks them conservatively. Run HELP in your current build and test in a copied save before treating any command as confirmed.
What should players do before trying a command?
Copy the save, record the game version, test in a disposable household, and keep a screenshot of the command result.
Should we publish trainer downloads?
No. Cheat trainer and free-money downloads are high-risk for malware and should not be promoted on this site.
What makes a command ready to publish?
A ready command needs syntax, effect, tested version, source URL or proof, risk level, and a rollback note.
