Workshop Tracker

Track Paralives Workshop Tests

Save subscribed items, test status, patch retests, and removal notes in this browser.

Saved Workshop Items

Track the item before it touches a main save.

Save subscribed items, mark the last test, then use patch retest when a game update touches saves, build mode, Paramaker, or Workshop behavior.

0 saved items

No saved Workshop items yet. Add one above, then update its status after a reload test.

Workshop Scenario CheckerChoose a scenario. The tool gives the verdict.

Pick a built-in Workshop situation or filter the scenario library. No typing is needed.

The Paralives Workshop tracker above answers one question: can this Workshop item go into my main household yet? Save the item name, type, subscribed date, last tested date, current status, and notes. Then filter your list after a patch, copy your notes, or use the scenario checker for a next step.

Paralives supports Steam Workshop for sharing creations, custom content, and mods. Workshop-friendly item types can include furniture, clothing, households, lots, audio, traits, settings, and other creator content. Script-style files are a different risk level from normal Workshop items, so keep them out of main saves unless the current build clearly supports them.

Install flow: Steam Workshop and Mods. Step-by-step setup: Mods Install Guide. Save safety: Save Location.

Workshop items are patch-sensitive. A creator item that works today can need a retest after an Early Access update.

Quick Answer

Use this order, or let the scenario checker above choose the next step:

  1. Load a vanilla household.
  2. Make or confirm a save backup.
  3. Subscribe to one item or one small batch.
  4. Find the item in build mode, Paramaker, or the expected menu.
  5. Test the item in a duplicate household.
  6. Save, quit, reload.
  7. Save the item in the tracker, then update it as tested, reload passed, needs retest, removed, or main-save safe.

Do not install a full furniture pack, shared mansion, clothing set, and gameplay-changing item all at once. If something breaks, you need to know which item caused it.

What To Track

ResultWhat it means
Do not use in a main save yetTest in a duplicate household first
Test save and reload nextThe item appears, but you still need a reload check
Retest before using itA patch changed the risk; check again before main-save use
Remove itThe item broke, vanished, crashed, or caused bad routing
Safe enough after backupThe item passed reload checks; still keep a backup

The tracker is not trying to rank the best mods. It is trying to protect your save with repeatable checks for the most common Workshop situations: single objects, large packs, shared lots, Para downloads, Paramaker items, missing content, crashes, Steam Deck testing, dependencies, and patch retests.

Status Labels To Use

Keep the status simple so you can understand the list after a patch:

StatusUse it whenNext action
SubscribedThe item is added through Workshop but not tested yetFind it in the expected menu before using it
TestedThe item appears and basic placement or outfit use worksSave, quit, and reload
Reload passedThe item still appears after a reloadSafe enough for a duplicate household
Main-save safeThe item has passed placement or Paramaker use, live mode, save, quit, and reloadStill keep a backup before using it widely
BrokenThe item caused missing content, bad routing, a crash, or a reload problemRemove it from test saves and keep the note
Patch retest dueA new update touched saves, Workshop, build mode, Paramaker, or the item categoryRetest before opening a main household
Needs retestA game update changed saves, Workshop, build mode, Paramaker, or the item typeReopen in a test household first
RemovedThe item caused problems or no longer fits the saveKeep the note so you do not reinstall it by mistake

Saved items stay in this browser, so they are best for your own setup rather than a public mod ranking. Use the item name and status as a quick reminder after patches.

If you play on more than one computer, treat the tracker as a local checklist and repeat the reload test on the machine that holds your main save.

Safe Workshop Routes

Player goalSafer route
Try one chair or decor itemSubscribe, place in test room, save, reload
Try clothingApply in Paramaker on a duplicate household
Try a shared buildingPlace on a throwaway lot first
Try a furniture packTest one room before decorating an entire house
Try a creator ParaLoad separately before joining a story household
Retest after patchMark the item as needs retest before opening a main save

If you cannot remember what changed, stop and check the tracker. Workshop issues are easier to solve when you have a small list instead of a mystery library.

Patch Retest Checklist

After an update, especially one that mentions build mode, Paramaker, saves, Workshop, mods, or custom content, do this:

  1. Open the vanilla save first.
  2. Confirm a normal save reload still works.
  3. Open the duplicate Workshop household.
  4. Test one item category at a time.
  5. Mark untested items as patch retest due, then mark broken items as needs retest or removed.
  6. Only then open the main household.

This sounds slow, but it is faster than debugging a story save with dozens of unknown changes.

When To Remove An Item

Remove or pause a Workshop item if:

  • The household fails to reload.
  • The item disappears from its expected menu.
  • A Para cannot use an object that should be usable.
  • The item causes crashes, freezes, or UI problems.
  • A patch note mentions the system the item depends on.
  • You cannot identify the creator item from its name.

Unsubscribe through Steam Workshop first. Avoid deleting random folders unless a trusted install guide tells you exactly what the folder does.

Workshop And Cheats

Cheats can help Workshop testing, but only inside a lab save. Use Paralives Cheats Finder for money, FPS, repair, or unstuck checks. Do not use cheats to hide a Workshop issue. If an object needs constant repair, rescue, or money edits to work, it is not ready for your main household.

FAQ

Does Paralives support Steam Workshop?

Yes. Paralives supports Steam Workshop for sharing creations, custom content, and mods. Use the tracker before letting those items touch a main household.

Does Paralives support script mods?

Script mods are not part of the current launch setup. Treat Workshop items and custom content as the main path, and handle external script-style files as higher risk.

Can Workshop items break a Paralives save?

Any Early Access custom content can cause issues after updates. Use a duplicate household and reload test before using items in a main save.

What should I save in the tracker?

Save the item name, type, subscribed date, last tested date, current status, and a short note about where it appears or what failed.
