Title: Cheats Not Working
Post by: Marf on September 08, 2015, 01:24:30 PM
I tried using the Moolah cheat but it would not work.

Any suggestions?

First make sure you have Buggi's Extra cheat mod installed, next hit control x to open the command window and finally here is the list if you need it...

Also note about half the time the cheats simply won't work due to the dll not loading, because of some technicalities I forgot about. In that case restarting the game will most likely do the trick. An easy way to check is to hit ctrl-x and then right-click with the mouse: this will either bring forth the list of cheats, or it won't.

I have found this is improved somewhat by placing the .dll file inside the plugins folder in Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Plugins as opposed to the one in My Documents. Still not 100%, but it's much more reliable when placed there.

As for the cheat itself, assuming you can get the CTRL+X window to appear, it's just a case of making sure you've the exact syntax. i.e. for Moolah "Moolah 10000 (with a space)" if you want $10,000.

First, both screenshots show the file located in the Documents\Plugins folder. As has been said in this thread, you should place it in the installation directory's plugins folder, the default is Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Plugins.

However, I note also your screenshot shows a .zip file, you know you must extract the .dll file from inside this .zip file? It's that that needs to be in your plugins folder, not the .zip.
