Just click on the link to be directed straight to the mod in the Steam Workshop. On the page, you just need to click on the Subscribe button. That’s all there is to it! Steam will download and install it for you automatically.

Once you’ve done that, go into the My Mods menu in-game and make sure that Debug Objects Category is enabled. For more details on how to do this, check out our guide on installing and using mods.

Do note, however, that mods are prone to breaking when updates happen. This is especially annoying during early access. If you notice issues after installing, disable the mod and wait for it to be updated.

Regardless, with all of that done, you just need to continue playing the game as normal. When you next enter Build Mode, you’ll notice that there’s a new Debug category for you to play with. It looks like a computer, as shown above.

Now, all that’s left for you is to check out what’s available! As I mentioned in the introduction, there are hundreds of items within this Debug category, massively expanding your customization options.

So, there you have it! That’s all you need to do to unlock the hidden Debug Object category for building in Paralives. Hopefully, all of these new goodies help you make exactly what you want!
