After years of content patches and tens of millions of copies sold, Stardew Valley finally has an official, mod-free approach to using cheat codes—akin to those in The Sims. As part of the farming sim’s beefy 1.6 update creator Eric Barone added support for Console Commands, so if you’re only modding for the easy money and item dupes, the process just got easier.
Previously, cheats (or debug commands) were only accessible throughStardew Valley modslike SMAPI. In Version 1.6.9, you’ll need to edit your save file, but that’s it. For detailed commands using mods, the officialStardew Valley Wikiprovides thorough documentation, otherwise this guide sticks to only using what works without requiring more tools.
Recent updatesNovember 2024:After the 1.6.9 update, there’s some confusion and misinformation out there indicating older SMAPI commands work in edited saves without mods, but unfortunately that’s not the case. For the purposes of this guide, we’ll only add Stardew Valley cheats we’ve tested on edited save files not using mods.

November 2024:After the 1.6.9 update, there’s some confusion and misinformation out there indicating older SMAPI commands work in edited saves without mods, but unfortunately that’s not the case. For the purposes of this guide, we’ll only add Stardew Valley cheats we’ve tested on edited save files not using mods.
Below, you’ll find acres and acres of commands we’re still updating as we test, including ways to spawn items, get more money, or improve relationships.

How to enable Stardew Valley cheats
These codes won’t work before enabling them, so, before editing anything, back up those beloved files and store your farm’s legacy somewhere safe. Once that’s done, it’s time to locate and edit your Stardew Valley save directly.
Finding your Stardew Valley save file
Regardless of OS, Stardew Valley saves follow the same naming conventions, so once you’re in, look for the folder sharing your file name and a string of numbers. It’ll look something likeNAME_345389.
Windows userscan find their Stardew Valley save via File Explorer at the path:
To edit this file, you can open it in Notepad, but it’s far easier to read in a program like Notepad++ or, as mentioned in the Stardew Wiki, through Sublime Text. These programs use the file’s color-coded XML formatting.
Using Notepad++ to edit Stardew Valley savesAfter installing Notepad++ you’ll need to add an XML plugin. To do this, select Plugins, then Plugin Admin, and check XML Tools. Install the plugin and enable Pretty Print to convert the wall of text into color-coded XML formatting.

How to enter Stardew Valley cheat codes

How to input Stardew Valley cheats
After enabling cheats, Stardew Valley uses the in-game chat with two different command formats. One uses the action itself, like/money 500, while the other uses/debug [command].
Accessing the Stardew Valley chat
Debug commands and the 1.6 update
Stardew Valley cheats pre and post-1.6 update use several of the same commands, with some more limited without SMAPI but the two commands added in the 2024 patch include/money [#]and/debug [command].
The former is straightforward and performs that singular command, then the latter opens a wealth of options. While scrolling through these cheats, don’t forget to type/debugfor commands that specify. Also, look for[Brackets]and replace any placeholder values.
The best Stardew Valley cheats to start your farm

Stardew Valley cheats to start your farm with
Since all of Stardew Valley’s debug commands and the like get a little confusing or sometimes just don’t work without extra tools, we’ve got a little list here of easy cheats to copy and paste.
To quickly set up a farm with plenty of resources, enter the following:
This list yields 100,000 gold, a fully upgraded backpack, every crafting and cooking recipe, and maxed-out relationships with all villagers. Additionally, the big farm code adds three deluxe coops, two barns, one mill, one stable, and a silo. All of this comes fully stocked with farm animals, crops, trees, and artisan production tools, too.
Stardew Valley Money cheats

Easy enough, simply use/money [$]to laugh all the way to the bank. Something something, money doesn’t buy happiness, something something—but it does in Stardew Valley, so go wild.
Stardew Valley Item cheats

Stardew Valley item cheats
Every spawnable item in Stardew Valley is accessible via an in-game menu, but I prefer using player-made repositories like theStardew Valley Vanilla IDstool and a more specific command. The GitHub database is far easier to browse, and using item IDs makes adding mass quantities a breeze.
Spawning items through in-game queries
Use/debug iq ALL_ITEMSto access an in-game window displaying every item available, or get more specific and use a category filter to narrow results. For example,/debug iq ALL_ITEMS (W)displays all of Stardew Valley’s weapons.
To spawn something listed, select the item with a left click and it’ll drop in your backpack free of charge. For heftier material orders, hold right-click until the stack reaches whatever your little farming heart desires.
Swipe to scroll horizontally
You can leave the quality blank for normal items or adjust the value using:
Here’s a few examples of using/debug item [ID] [Quantity] [Quality]:

Use these customization cheats to change how your Stardew Valley farm looks, or to add even more barns, coops, sheds, and ponds. Remember to replace[Item ID]or[#]fields with your chosen value.
Stardew Valley Player related cheats
Stardew Valley player customization cheats
These cheats will provide you with a way to revisit customization options on the fly, so you can change how your Stardew Valley farmer looks completely without making a new character.
Stardew Valley skill cheats
Every farmer has their niche, but these commands should help level any skills you’ve neglected along the way. Before trying the/debugcommand, you’ll want to identify which value below is the correct skill ID:
With the appropriate skill ID noted, use /debug levelup [Skill ID] [#] to boost your farmer’s stats.

They’re cute and all, but it takes an awfully long time to manage individual animals in Stardew Valley. These cheats offer ways to improve your relationship with each animal without waiting, or give you even more goats and chickens to love.

Stardew Valley NPC and romance cheats
Some Pelican Town residents are easy to please, accepting a shower of mining rubbish or an egg you accidentally present them. Others are a little less thankful for random rocks and burnt meals. That’s where these Stardew Valley cheats come in, so you can improve your relationships, and even romantic life, with ease.
Stardew Valley Time, date, and travel cheats
