Stardew Valley has undergone numerous updates over the years. While some updates make minor adjustments, others introduce new features or alter gameplay significantly. With the recent 1.6.9 update, the game now officially supports cheat commands, eliminating the need for mods.
If you’re eager to use cheat commands but aren’t sure how to begin, you’re in the right spot. This guide will explain the process for utilizing cheat commands in Stardew Valley. It’s essential to remember that you can only activate cheat commands if you have the ability to modify your save file.
Activating Cheats
Cheats aren’t available right after launching the game. You must enable them by editing your save file directly. To do this, press the Windows key and ‘R’ simultaneously on your keyboard. This will bring up a ‘Run’ box where you can enter (or paste) the command shown below.
After pressing OK, a file explorer window will open. From there, navigate to the Stardew Valley folder and click on the folder labeled ‘Saves.’ You will find all your game’s save files there. For instance, our farm is named Windy Hill, as seen in the example above.
Make sure to only open the save file that matches your farm’s name along with a number. Files ending with ‘old’ can be ignored.
Next, open your farm’s save file, which will display a notepad full of text. Instead of scrolling through everything, simply hit Control and ‘F’ to search for the following line:
Once you find it, change ‘false’ to ‘true.’ This action enables cheats in Stardew Valley! Save your changes, exit the notepad, and launch the game as usual.
Your modified line should read “
