"cheatstick" doesn't work (UPDATE: I FIGURED IT OUT)

[PhauxFoe]

**EDIT: I FIGURED IT OUT GUYS! THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP**
Am I the only one having a difficult time trying to use cheats? I have it turned on and I typed "cheatstick" without the quotations then F1 and it's not working.

I always hit {Esc} first, type "cheatstick", then hit {Esc} again. I found it activating inconsistently if I didn't do it that way.

I tried doing your method earlier as well and it didn't work. :( I figured it out a different way though. I pressed ctrl then F1. Thanks for your response <3 :D

Type cheatstick after loading a new / saved game, type cheatstick and press F1. That is the correct way to activate cheats in SOTF.

I should have said "...then hit {F1} to display the admin console." Sorry.

I understood exactly what you meant lol the phrase "cheatstick" w/ F1 didn't work. I did that in many different ways. I even had inventory opened so it doesn't prompt to any other commands.

CTRL then F1 is what worked for me.

What keyboard layout do you use? That could be why it didn't work the usual way it's done on EN US keyboard layouts.

I use a EN US Keyboard layout.
I don't have any other explanation as to why I have to use Ctrl then F1.
My keyboard does have a 10 key with it. Would that cause any problems?
I thought most standardized keyboard comes with a 10 key. Don't quote me though. I may be wrong lol

I have to enter it in exactly three times before the F1 function brings the console up

Just to be clear, you need to enter cheatstick IN an active game, not in the games main menu.
Start a game or load a save, load into the game, hit Esc, then now type cheatstick then hit F1. Works for me. If that dont work then its something else.

I THINK YOU MUST PRESS <ENTER> AFTER YOU TYPE CHEATSTICK BUT I MAY BE WRONG IT WORKED FINE FOR ME YESTERDAY BRB I WILL TEST IT ...

Ok I loaded a save in singleplayer not going to test it any further because Im lazy - caps locks was ON but I think it does not matter .. I typed the word

cheatstick

then I pressed the <ENTER> key

THEN, I pressed F1 to make sure it was working ..

not doing any more testing .. maybe you need to press Enter .. maybe you don't hope you get it working ..


Ok ya don't have to press Enter .. it is working for me even with caps lock off

I exited loaded a save in Singleplayer and typed cheatstick and pressed F1 .. the F1 jargon came up ..

WHEN you type cheatstick your CHARACTER may move ... DO NOTHING - just type the next correct letter .. your INVENTORY may open up .. again .. DO NOTHING just type the correct next letter
