Mods & Custom Content (CC)

On Steam, open the Paralives Workshop, find a mod, and click Subscribe. Steam downloads it automatically and Paralives loads it the next time you launch the game. Mods live in [Paralives]/Main.mod/ plus a per-mod folder. Unsubscribe in Steam to remove a mod cleanly.

The Workshop ships three buckets: Modpacks change gameplay or add content (new items, careers, traits), Households are pre-built Parafolk families, and Houses are pre-built lots you can plop into your town. All load through the same .mod folder mechanism.

Sometimes. Modpacks that override Settings files (skills, careers, traits) are most fragile because each game build can rename or restructure fields. Households and Houses are usually safer because they target the asset format which changes more slowly. Check a mod's Workshop comments after a patch.

Use Steam's Report button on the mod's Workshop page. Workshop handles all moderation, comments, and ratings centrally - we link out to the same place from every entry on this wiki.

CC means custom content - the Sims-community term for player-made cosmetics like hair, clothing, and furniture. In Paralives, all CC ships as Steam Workshop mods, and this index covers all of them: searchable, filterable by category, with direct subscribe links.

BepInEx is a plugin loader for Unity games, used for code mods that change game logic instead of adding content. Paralives runs on Unity with Mono, which BepInEx supports. Regular content mods - furniture, clothing, lots - ship through the Steam Workshop and need no extra tools.
