YouTube, or press the key above the 'Tab' key, can't remember what it's called.

Needs to be enabled in your game.xml file in your Docs\My Games\FS17 folder

<development>
<controls>true</controls>
</development>

then in game hit the Tilde/Grave key, the one above TAB on US/UK keyboardds and others.

Then you can TAB through all the available commands at the prompt.

Some are more obvious than others.

There is an .xml file called 'game.xml' located in 'Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2017'
You can open the .xml file using notepad

Just make sure to back up the file just in case you mess it up.

thanks

[UnableRogue]

No probs. You can also use notepad to manipulate a file in your save game data to give yourself as much money as you want. fyi

[Nob-Stop]

is there a ingame cheat for that

[UnableRogue]

I have no idea. There's probably a console command you can use in dev console. I havent looked into it.

[Nob-Stop]

where is the money cheat

[UnableRogue]

I use the first saved game so the path to the file you need is here 'Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2017\savegame1' The file is 'careerSavegame.xml' about the 60th line down is where your money is. Change it to whatever you want. Once again BACK UP THE FILE before manipulating it. I wouldnt want you to mess up your save game.
