It’s important to note that you’re able to only use cheat commands if you are able to edit your save file.
How To Enable Cheats
Cheats can’t be used after opening the game like usual. Instead, you’ll need to enable them; this can be done byediting your save file directly.To do this,press Windows and ‘R’ on your computer.This will open a’Run' box,where you’re able to type (or paste) the following.
Press OK, and you’ll open a file explorer window. Here,scroll down until you see Stardew Valley, and enter. Click on the file that says ‘Saves’, and you should be able to see all the save files that you have in the game. Our farm is called Windy Hill, so you can see that in the image above.
Only open the save file that isthe name of your farm along with a number.If you see one that ends in ‘old’, you don’t need to interact with that.
At this point, you’ll now need toopen the save file for your farm,which pulls up a notepad that’s packed with text. Instead of searching through the file, you may simplypress Control and ‘F’and search for the following.
This will focus on a line that shows the following text.
Once you’ve found this portion of text,you’re goal is to change the ‘false’ to ‘true’.With that, you’ve enabled cheats in Stardew Valley! From here, save and exit the notepad file and load the game like normal.
The edited line should read “true”.
