I recently downloaded TSM Pirates & Nobles and started playing it again. I've followed the instructions correctly several times, but it hasn't worked. The game runs normally and the mods too, but I can't get "TestingCheatsEnabled" or "buydebug" to work. I've been trying for days in various ways, following instructions from the forums... my head is spinning, haha.

I don't even know if there are still people who play TSM these days.

Could someone please help me?

I will be immensely grateful!

Hi!
HOW TO ACTIVATE THE DEVELOPER CODE
1. Open the folder at the path:
The Sims Medieval \ GameData \ Shared \ NonPackaged \ Ini
2. Find the Commands.ini file in the folder and move it to the desktop
3. Open this file through notepad
4. In the line “TestingCheatsEnabled”, change the parameter from 0 to 1
5. Save the file and return it to its place

To activate debugging, enter the cheat code: buydebug on in the game by opening the console with Ctrl+Shift+C.

Thank you for replying.
I did everything correctly, but it doesn't work.
When I try to activate "buydebug on" the following message appears: "Unknown command".
