Re: sims medieval testing cheats enabled not working

@DeadMenDL 


Here are some of the guides I found:

https://thesimsmedieval.fandom.com/wiki/Cheats


https://segmentnext.com/2011/03/31/the-sims-medieval-cheats/

http://www.carls-sims-medieval-guide.com/cheats.php

Neither states anything about not saving as a textfile, so maybe try follow these instead. Note that Carl's guide points to the warning about cheats from EA. I don't use cheats, but there are other active players of Sims Medieval that do, you'll find them on the official forum:

  • Hi everyone,

    I am having this problem, but I know I did have access to the cheats at one time because several of my previous save games have the clothing filters off.  When I opened the Commands.ini, it was already set to 1.  I've tried changing it to 0, restarting the comp, changing it back to 1, but nothing will let me unlock the outfits on my new saves.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    @tigofmanycolors , sometimes a fresh start is needed without uninstalling and reinstalling the game. So to return the game to vanilla state, locate your Sims Medieval folder (found Documents > Electronic Arts > Sims Medieval) and move it to your Desktop. Do not copy and paste or create a shortcut, actually move the file. Once this is done, start up the game as normal to allow for a new folder to generate. Your saved games are safe on your Desktop. Try starting up a new game just to make sure the game works and play for about an hour or so again to test the game play and make sure all is well. You can save if you wish, but that is up to you. Now that you have a fresh, new folder, try the instructions as listed in the guides to see if you can enable the cheats.

    @tigofmanycolors  The edited file may have become problematic. A Repair done in Origin should update it, and you can redo the changes. Let me know if you need more info on it.

    Resetting the user folder is a good troubleshooting step; but the file edited to enable the testingcheat is in with the program files; and will not be affected by that.

    I'm now having this problem. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, removed folders, moved them back......disableclothingfilter will not work. Other cheats work fine, except for this ☹️ I cannot, for the life of me, get this cheat to work, despite having had it worked earlier in my playthrough, and then all the sudden stopping. Bump!
