Enable Testing Cheats

At the INI folder in your Sims 3 install directory (Default: C:Program FilesElectronic ArtsThe Sims MedievalGameDataSharedNonPackagedIni) right click 'Commands.ini'. Then select 'properties' and uncheck 'Read Only'. Right click again and select 'Open With...' notepad. Now change 'TestingCheatsEnabled=0' to 'TestingCheatsEnabled=1' (without the quotes). Save, and choose 'Yes' if you are asked to overwrite. When you now load up the game you will be able to click and drag the Hunger/Energy and sim relationship bars left or right to make them full or empty. The 'help' console command will now also give you a list of additional cheats.

For those asking about purchases through origin, everything else is the same, except instead of going into Electronic Arts the setup is as follows... /Origin Games/The Sims Medieval/ and then everything else is the same. I just found this myself after being unable to locate an answer anywhere on the internet.

I've tried several methods now and not ONE of them has worked. I have Windows 7

won't let me change the 'read-only' thingy

apparently I can't save in that location

asks me to insert a writable disc

Also sometimes i've been told i need to get the administrators permission - i am the administrator
I'm also logged in as the administrator. Each time it said it had failed to get permission from the administrator.

PLEASE help!!!!!!

Are you having problem with saving the new Command thing?

Dont worry! Just copy the Command notepad file onto your desktop then double click and open it (Or right click and then Open With > Notepad) Then change the Tetsingcheatsenabled true to 1 THEN open your folder of the Sims Medieval Ini folder and drag the Command file from your desktop into the file, If it says overwrite click Move and Replace Hopefully this helped

What do you do with the Notepad again? im a little confused.......PLEASE HELP!
Added 26th Dec 2011, ID #98767, by Guest
 
It worked on my computer but I found the file in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims Medieval\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Ini

And sometimes it will say "this file is read only" but just move the file to your desktop, open it up in notepad change 0 to 1, save it, then move it back into the same place.....It worked for me

yeah but that guy isright we should try not playng the game but realy why would it be like that i mean realy? enable it when were not playing the game i will try it and see if i can acully find the folder when i am not playing it
Added 2nd Dec 2011, ID #92062, by Guest
 
On my particular computer, I have two different Program Files folders: Program Files, and Program Files (x86). It could be in either. Also, if you bought the game through the website and downloaded it on Origin, the program files folder will be labeled "Origin", not "EA" or "Electronic Arts", etc. You need to be sure the game is not running while you are editing configuration files. Quit the game, find the file, right click it to get properties, uncheck read only, apply, then open the file, change the 0 to 1, save it (overwriting previous file if asked), THEN start the game.

I have the admistrative rights and un-writable problem too... help please...
Added 9th Jul 2011, ID #56088, by Guest
 
I have the same problem. I cannot modify the file directly in the folder, because it tells me I do not have administrative confirmation (Even though I'm on an admin account). So, I copied to the desktop, changed it, but now I can't copy it back because it says the disk isn't writable. I'm not trying to write; I'm copying a file. As in right-click>copy. Now I have no idea what to do.

System: Pavilion dv7-6135dx PC (laptop)

^ Copy and paste that if you can't find it.

If it doesn't work and says "Access Denied" or something similar to those lines, save it onto your desktop and drag into the folder after it's saved.

"Make sure the file and path are correct." I cant get it to work for windows vista. I tried copying it on the desktop, read only is unchecked. And more suggestions?

Alright, so what I did was, Save the Notepad on the desktop and then drag and dropped it onto my folder. It worked. :D Running OS Vista Home Premium by the way.

Yeah, I've also come into contact with this problem. I've made everything adjustable but it still says the problem is there. I do have Sims in the background but... I wouldn't think that's the problem. I'll post results when I close down Sims and try again.

mine doesn't have the ini folder??
Added 13th Apr 2011, ID #37203, by Guest
 
Unchecked the read-only?
Programm shouldn't run, could cause writingproblems.
Maybe the Anti virus or windows accountmanagerthingy interfering?

It doesn't work for my Windows Vista laptop. When I try to change the file it says that it can't be created and says "Make sure the file and path are correct."

How can I fix this problem?
