❓ Frequently Asked Questions

I downloaded a house from the Workshop and it's sinking or floating. How do I fix it?

Zoom out to the map view, click the house icon on the lot, and select the "Move Entire Lot" tool. Hold down the Shift key and move your mouse forward or backward to adjust the building's vertical position. For a detailed step-by-step guide with images, check out our tutorial: How to Move Buildings Vertically in Paralives.

I finished building but the floor or walls are invisible. What can I do?

If your floor or walls suddenly disappear after building, first save your game and then exit to the main menu. Reload your save to see if the missing parts reappear. If they still don't show up, you may need to rebuild the affected walls or floor tiles manually. The game is still in Early Access, so some bugs are expected — the developers are working on fixes!

Why did all my mods suddenly stop working?

Some mods can break after a game update, which may cause all mods to stop working. To fix this, disable all mods first, then re-enable them one by one to find the problematic one. It's a good idea to only keep your most-used mods active — this makes troubleshooting much faster.
