I’ve recently completed and finished 1.4.3 and now I’d like to create a new game, but mod/cheat in it. I know you were able to do it in the past versions.
Has anyone figured out how to cheat 1.4.3? I’m basically looking for money, RP, fans, and stat hack.
Yup. Saves are just simple SQL data. Use SQLite.
That even works with v1.4.3 from Steam?
Yup, just the saves are in the Steam save dir nest to the non-steam and you need to edit ALL entries containing slot_* in order for it to work. It borks if I try to edit anything other than cash/fans though.
Also there are like 5 entries per slot, unless you’re in a fresh, brand-new 1 slot only starting game.
Alright I’ll try it and tell you if it works or not. I might also try to find the stats and hack it as well.
If it doesn’t bork while loading, then good on you. I tried editing my other stats and it gave me a huge error after my first game and after every action past it.
Where did you find the stats? Somewhere in the slots? And sqlite through firefox or sqbrowser which is it’s own windows app?
I probably meant sqbrowser, but I think there was a standalone version of sqlite. Yes, and you’ll find the stats in the format cash: and fans: along with other stats. All database entries for a certain slot must be edited in order to make the whole slot register changes when loaded. I think that may be a useful redundancy in case one entry is messed up while writing.
Okay I tried it and didn’t seem to work. Not cash, fans, or stats. I created a fresh game and saved it in slot one. So I edited Slot_1 and Slot1L1. And yea didn’t work.
There are about 4-5 entries to edit, all of them have to match.
Oh really? Are you able to list which ones?
Not sure which ones they are, but I’d edit anything that said slot_# and then make sure I applied changes and saved. I was able to edit a new company to $80m and 100,000 fans.
I could be wrong, or maybe you have a different version than me. It worked for me, but it took me a borked save and some trial and error.
Yea I had it working with 1.3.9, but I still can’t get it. I have the Steam version of 1.4.3 and it’s not working.
Ah, I just realized where I went wrong. Apparently, Steam saves are in the Steam ID’s save folder, not Local. Try C:\Program Files\Steam\userdata\some number here\239820\remote for saves.
It’s just a plain old file. Do I edit it in Notepad? It’s not opening up in sqlite.
Okay, I was able to hack the cash, fans, and research points. But when I hacked the stats the game froze. I’m going to try something to see if it’ll work.
The game always borked when I edited stats. I don’t think they’re in a very malleable form.
Yep it froze again. It lets me do research, but when I try and create a game it freezes.
