How exactly do I use cheats?

[cyanloon]

I can't figure out what folder I am supposed to edit to use cheats. I need basically a total idiots guide to this. Please help.

Please see this sticky on what file to edit and the cheat codes.

Easy way is to modify your configuration setting as specified in the sticky and then start a game, save it, get out and use KSE to edit in things like inventory changes, ability, feats, etc... I first fell back on all that typing and it only wastes a LOT of time. The only cheat I'd reccomend typing in is "turbo" (without the quote) so as to speed up the game a little. Any other meaningful cheats can be acquired through KSE. Also, there is a mod that will allow you to bypass the need for KSE in TSL. If you can find LitRidl's warpband, you can do a lot of changes w/in the game, instead of falling back on KSE (which is, still, very useful for both games). Otherwise, using a series of mods is another way to "cheat" yourself to a "fuller" gaming experience.
