A lightweight script mod that adds a flat 2D city map with a top-down view to Paralives. You can open it by pressing a hotkey (default is F7) or by clicking a button on the screen. The map displays the layout of all lots and allows for quick city navigation or switching between families.

For maximum performance, the mod takes a strictly vertical snapshot of the city only once when opened (or when manually refreshed), rather than continuously rendering the full 3D scene.

Main features:

  • Strictly top-down view: generates an orthogonal snapshot of the city in real time.
  • Interactive lot markers: shows a list of all lots in the city. The lot of your active family is highlighted with a pulsing glow.
  • Quick camera travel: single left-click on a marker instantly moves the game camera to the selected lot.
  • Fast family switching: double-click a residential lot marker to instantly switch control to the family living there.
  • Map navigation: smooth zoom with the mouse wheel and panning by holding and dragging the right mouse button.
  • Custom backgrounds: optional support for using static images (e.g., a stylized map drawing) instead of the standard 3D snapshot.

Controls:

  • F7 — open or close the 2D map (the key can be remapped).
  • On-screen button — click "Open 2D Map" / "Close 2D Map" in the upper left corner of the screen.
  • Mouse wheel — zoom in and out.
  • Right mouse button + drag — pan the map view.
  • Left-click on a marker — focus the game camera on that lot.
  • Double-click on a marker — make the family on that lot active.
  • "Refresh" button — take a new snapshot of the city (useful if you’ve built new structures and want to update the view).

Installation instructions:

This modification requires the BepInEx 5 (Mono x64) plugin loader to be installed beforehand.

  1. BepInEx 5 installation: Download the BepInEx 5 (Mono x64) archive and extract its contents directly into the root folder of Paralives (so that winhttp.dll is in the same directory as Paralives.exe).
  2. First launch: Start Paralives once to let the utility generate the necessary folder structure, then close the game.
  3. Mod installation: Place the Paralives2DMap folder (containing Paralives2DMap.dll and its description) into the BepInEx\plugins directory.

Check the path: The final file location should look exactly like this:

  • Paralives\BepInEx\plugins\Paralives2DMap\Paralives2DMap.dll.
