After this, open the file with a basic text editor like Notepad and change the line 'TestingCheatsEnabled=0' to 'TestingCheatsEnabled=1' (without quotation marks). An easy way to do this is to right click the file, select 'Properties', uncheck the 'Read Only' box, then click 'Apply'. The file 'Commands.ini' is set to 'Read Only' mode during installation, this must be undone before it can be edited. The default path is C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims Medieval\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Ini. To enable testing cheats, go to the INI folder in your The Sims Medieval install directory. These are more advanced commands which tend to have drastic effects on gameplay. Testing cheats, designed to aid in testing the game for bugs, must be enabled separately. Although the console can be accessed at any time during live gameplay, the majority of console commands are only usable when a kingdom is loaded.īy default, the console only allows certain basic cheats. This is the same sequence used in mainstream The Sims games. The console can be opened by holding Ctrl+Shift+C (PC users), or Command+Shift+C (Mac users).
