Once the command line is open, type in testingcheats on and then hit Enter. This will ensure that all cheats you enter work. A prompt should say ‘Cheats are enabled’ to confirm that your game is ready for all the cheats you’ll input.
With all that set, you can now type in the Skill Cheats listed on the table.
Conclusion
Starting a new game is now easy, thanks to Skill Cheats. It allows you to skip all the grinding and get the desired skills, which saves you the hassle of maxing out skills.
