Paralake V6.2 | PERPHeads Vanity Store | Shop Wallpapers | Vehicle Updates | Much More
[DOWNLOAD PARALAKE 6.2]
Paralake V6.2, whilst smaller in scope than V6.1, still contains a bunch of changes, primarily focused on quality of life, balancing, and visual fidelity. Before all that though, let's start with the new properties!
Slums Warehouse
Situated between Road Crew and the Tenement building, this new industrial property offers plenty of space. This property has 3 doors, 4 chemtable/workbench slots, and can have up to 6 players growing drugs.
City Shop
A new two floor shop/hangout space in the city, situated just opposite the City gas station. This is a passive property like the Bazaar/Business Shops and can be used to create a store, a space to roleplay, or just a place to hang out with friends. It has 2 doors, and has up to 5 workbench slots.
Farm
This is a complete rework to an old property. The new Barn situated on the Farm property has a completely new interior, giving this old building a much needed refreshed feel.
Hicktown
Like Farm, this is another redesign to a classic property. The new hicktown trailers are designed to look more like caravan trailers. (Also now with proper lighting).
Office Complex
Whilst structuraly the same exterior, the individual floors of Office have received a substantial layout update. Gone is the large open space, now replaced with a Southgate Center inspired office interior, just with a more modern look.

You can then apply these wallpapers when purchasing your shop from the Bank, or by pressing E on your shop's sign. Applying wallpapers requires you to have Premium.
Vanity Store
In this update, we are introducing the PERPHeads Vanity Store. This new shop, accessable via !store or by clicking on a Premium Token in your inventory, is a new way to customize and express yourself in the game, whilst also supporting the server's continued upkeep and development. The items sold in the Vanity Store will be aesthetic only, nothing that will give a player a gameplay advantage over another.
The Vanity Store brings with it a new currency, which we are calling Credits which you obtain by converting Premium Tokens. 1 Premium Token is worth 100 Credits
As of today, the following items options are available in the Vanity Store:
- Redeem Premium: From today onwards, this will be how you use a Premium Token to redeem premium for your account.
- Custom License Plate: Similar to the old system at City Hall, this will let you purchase custom license plates for use on your vehicles.
- Custom Bank Number: This will let you purchase a custom bank number for use in your in-game transactions.
- Storage Chest Skins: These are custom skins/models for your storage chest in properties. Once purchased you own it perminantly and can apply it whenever you like.
- Heterochromia: This unlocks the ability for you to set mismatching eye colours at the Plastic Surgery NPC in the Hospital.
- Custom Badge Number: This allows you to purchase a new PLPD Badge Number.
- Custom Phone Number: This allows you to purchase a new custom phone number.
- Workbench Skins: These are custom skins/models for your workbench. Once purchased you own it perminantly and can apply it whenever you like.
- Skin Changer Tool: This lets you purchase skin changer tools. More information on this is below.
There is an FAQ section regarding the new Vanity Store at the end of this post.
Skin Changer Tool
This new item allows you to change the skin and colour of some props in game. The tool is available to purchase from the Vanity Store, costing 10 Credits.
To use the tool, simply look at a prop that you wish to skin and click on the Skin Changer in your inventory. If the prop has available customization options it will open a menu allowing you to change either the prop's skin, color, or both. If used on lights, this tool will also allow you to change the colour of that light.
Each Skin Changer Tool is a single use item, but customized props are changed permanently (or until you customize them again). Customized props are stored in your store/inventory as different vairients when you hover over them.
You will be able to sell both Skin Changer Tools you have purchased, and props you have already skinned, in your shops in-game.
A full list of currently customizable props is available here, with more to be added in the future.
