Console cheats
By using console cheats, you're assuming certain risks, since manually editing them can lead to broken saves (or messing up in-game timers), so make sure to save your game before editing anything. Also pay close attention to what you edit and make sure you know what the variable does. Most certainly don't change any variables blindly.
This section of the guide assumes you know how to enable and use the Ren'Py console, if not, see the tool and instructions to set it up and use it. Alternatively, a more user-friendly solution (which I would also recommend using) is to use URM.
If you plan on editing various game variables during your gameplay by either of the methods mentioned above, here are some of the most commonly used ones (the quest-specific variables are indicated in the quest description):
naturalneeds.*
where*
is eitherSatiety
,Hygiene
orEnergy
- set satiety, hygiene and energy level of the MCstatsparametrs.*
- where*
is eitherHandsome
,Reputation
orStrength
- set the level for handsome, reputation and strength statstats*.Relationship
- set relationship value with a character, where*
represents character's name (in lower caps)*_item_count
- edit the amounts for the things in MCs inventory, where*
represents item's name (it's better to search all the variables, since there are typos in the names)moneyitems.Money
- set the amount of money MC has in his pocketsmc_stage_2
- change between bum (false) and normal look (true)timeparametrs.Hours
- set a specific time (hour) of the daytimeparametrs.Day
- set a day of the week (0 = Mon, 1 = Tue, 2 = Wed, etc.). Be wary about changing days to skip like a week or so, to trigger an event, cause there are in-game timer delays, which more often than not will get messed up as a result of this and some events might not start at all, so I would advise against changing this too oftenmaria_cheap_apartament_here
- change to 'false' if Maria is crashing on the couch of your apartment and you don't want her there when others ladies come to visit*_happy
&*_drunk
- when having the drinking mini-game, you can set the needed amount for the specific character (*
represents character's name, in lower caps)var_cards_player_points
- cheat to win at Hot spotcheat_menu
- enable/disable in-game cheat menu - can be useful, if you still want to use the in-game cheat menu, but also unlock the bonus images & scenesplayername
- if, for some reason, you want to change the name of the MC*stage
- set a stage with the specific character, where*
represents character's name (in lower caps). I strongly advise against using this to skip levels upwards, since there are many other variables that are changed during stages. You'll likely break your save doing this! It can be useful for some characters (like Karen & Barbara) to reduce the stage, if you want to complete both - the bum and the normal look path with them
