Trying to apply cheats (KOTOR)
So i have been trying to find the program file in my computer to enter EnableCheats=1 but with no luck. I have searched youtube and watched many videos on how to do it and where to find the program file but i cannot seem to access it. It's like it's not even there. Come to find out all the videos are Vista users...I'm running Windows 7 and now wondering if it is possible for me to do. Any thoughts?

You'll want to locate the [swkotor configuration file (.ini)].

First you need to find your [steamapps] folder, which should be in either your [Program Files] or [Program Files(x86)].
If you can't find it there, just try and search your HDD for a Steam folder.
If you find [steamapps] (basically the go-to folder), then open it up and you should see a [common] folder. Open that to find your various Steam games, then locate the [swkotor] folder, and inside it, listed below the other dozen folders should be the [swkotor] file - the .ini page.

Anyway, directly under the [Game Options] section, add the [EnableCheats=1] line, then save the .ini file.

Then in game, open up the console (~/`) and type in your cheat.

Say, a set of Mandalorian Assault Armor (the Neo-Crusader full-body set); giveitem g_a_class9010

Good luck.

when in game you have to use the ~ key. It will not show up anywhere in game, kinda like it stays invisible so you have to make sure you spell the cheet exactly how it is writen.
