About the Paralives career planner
Compare multiple careers on a single weekly overlay: see shift windows, estimated weekly pay, and useful-skill XP from work — plus conflict checks that mirror in-game scheduling rules.
How to use the career planner
Use this tool to test one-career and dual-career plans before committing to a schedule in game.
Step 1 — Add careers
Search by role or company, then add careers to the left panel. The planner includes careers with extractable default schedule data.
Step 2 — Review schedule and conflicts
The weekly overlay paints occupied blocks by day. Overlaps are marked in red and listed below the calendar.
Step 3 — Compare pay and skill XP
Use rank, weekly pay, and useful-skill XP totals to compare combinations before selecting a final path.
How calculations work
The planner mirrors game-like rules for overlap checks and uses extracted data to estimate weekly outcomes.
FAQ
Quick answers to the most common planning questions.
Why do some careers not appear?
Only careers with extracted default schedules are shown, because conflict checks need concrete day and hour windows.
Why can two careers still conflict after selection?
Some jobs share overlapping shift windows on the same day, so they cannot be combined under in-game schedule rules.
How are pay and useful-skill XP estimated?
Weekly pay uses base pay per day plus rank bonus bands. Useful-skill XP follows Early Access work-learning rates (slow practice plus career-useful bonus).
How this page fits Paralives Wiki
Pair this planner with the careers database for role details, the skills database for training paths, and life stages for school-age constraints.
The planner shows the default extracted shift slot for each job. Multi-shift careers may offer alternate windows that are not reflected in this default view.
