How To Level Up Skills In Paralives
In Paralives, there are seven main skills, namely Music, Food, Technology, Fitness, Art, Repair, and Science. The general way to level up all skills is by engaging in activities related to them. However, you can level up all skills generally by reading a book about them in the library or talking to other paras about them.
You can also learn about knowledge skills on your computer. Doing so will increase the speed of learning that skill while doing the action.
Your paras will also learn skills faster if they are happier or if they get the ‘in the zone’ status, which ignores the need for a while. Likewise, if they are in a bad mood or if you are neglecting them, the skill level will not increase.
Music
There are four sub-skills under Music, namely Triangle, Piano and Guitar. You can practice any of these instruments to increase any of the sub-skills along with the main skill. If your Para is creative, this skill will level up faster. You can purchase instruments from the build menu and place them in your home to practice whenever you prefer.
Food
If you have a kitchen at home, you can improve your cooking skills by making meals. Food only has the cooking skill as a subskill. You will need the right utensils at home to prepare a recipe.
Fitness
Fitness is the easiest to level up, as you don’t require any special equipment. You can simply click on the ground to start exercising anywhere. The fitness skills increase depending on your physique stats.
Running only increases the exercise skill, but jogging improves both fitness and exercise. You can also dance anywhere to level up dance. You can also hit the gym to use machines to keep you fit.
Technology
Owning a computer is a must if you want to improve your technology-related skills. Select Practice on the computer and choose either programming or graphic design to level up these sub-skills. Graphic design relies on creativity, while programming relies on the mind.
Art
The art skill is straightforward as well, with only painting being a subskill which scales with creativity. You can practice painting by purchasing easels from the store.
Repair
There are no subskills under the repair menu, and it scales with the mind. You can increase by repairing broken items inside your house and in public. You can repeatedly break the vending machine to repair it and level it up faster.
Science
The Science skill consists of three sub-skills, namely Astronomy, Biology, and Surgery. You can look through the telescope to increase your main science skill, which scales with mind. Methods to level up the subskills are unknown. The game is still in early access, so we may get methods to increase these in future.
Baby And Toddler Skills
There are only two skills you can learn before the kid stage, namely language and potty. Interact with your babies often, or have them talk with other babies to increase language. For your toddlers, have them use the potty to increase their skills.
