Steps

1.) create a shortcut for the main .exe, in this case, Sacred.exe, then RIGHT-CLICK on the shortcut and click on "Properties".

2.) add /cheats=1 to the line on the "Target" box as seen below. "[]" stands for the box

i.e. ["C:\Program Files\Sacred\Sacred.exe" /cheats=1]

the /cheats=1 MUST be outside the double quotes for it to work.

3.) run the game through the shortcut.

4.) start new/load game. in game, press the "~" key then type "sys cheats=1".

followed correctly, you should get a "CHEATS ENABLED" message.

enable: sys cheats 963
disable: sys cheats 369
