Why do the console cheats not work anymore?

[Pheonixking3000]

I recently created a new character to start off since it's been about several months since I played on my last playthrough. Anyways, I tried to bring the cheat console up to type in a cheat but for some reason it won't come up. I already set up the required things in order to make the cheats work, the weird thing is I was able to do cheats in the past but now I can't seem to do them. I usually press ` to bring up the console but it won't work now. I checked the key bindings and it's the way I set it in the past that allowed the cheat to work so it's not like anything has changed. Can someone help me out? Why is this not working anymore?

Console is disabled by default in a newly installed game. You need to tinker around with the game[dragonage.wikia.com] for it to work and be visible.

Also, and just in case: additem isn't available on the stock console commands either, you need to add a mod to do that.

But I've already tinkered around with this game. It's been installed on my laptop since August of 2013 and I was using the cheats since back then. Now it's just not working and I can't seem to figure out why. I don't know what to do :(

Do it again. Either Steam or the game itself has likely replaced your edited DAoriginslauncher.xml file with the default.

It's a single player game. What has it got to do with you what other people do in their single player games?

He's not going into multiplayer games cheating and ruining it for anybody.

It's also quite funny you say that and you have a VAC ban.

Hehe wow I actually took your adivce before I even read your comment and I ended up finding a way to reactivate the codes again. I forgot to update me status later after I fixed it. Also lol at the troll guy, I didn't even know what was going on cause I was away. I have actually played this game the normal way mutliple times on the x box version, so I wanted to do things differently this time and have fun wiht the cheats/mods.
