Greetings, i have tried to look for a discussion with why it is not advised to save with the cheats enabled and havent been able to find the info. Does anyone know what would happen if you did?

While I myself have had no problems (and I cheat all the time), it is possible that the save file will become corrupt and possibly delete itself... Or just not load. I think it can also mess up some things in the game later on. And it's common to hear that it is not possible to obtain 100% with cheats, but I'm not sure if that is true.

Really I heard the only cheats that affect your gamesave are the Peds Riot, Peds Have Weapons, and Peds... forgot the name cheats.

No, it won't. The number rating will just go into the negatives, and it has certain names for certain levels, just like it does in the positives. The lowest is "Don of all Liars".

yeah i accidently saved with a bunch of crazy cheats on with my main account, and next time i loaded it it said it couldnt load it... but i tihnk it only happens with permanant cheats (such as cars fly and wanted level doesnt increase), but i think its ok if you use cheats such as spawn hydra and health/money/armor cheat.

Does infinete health and infinete ammo affect your save game? Those are the only codes I save with. The rest I take off. I rarly cheat cause i don't use codes that are permantent like peds riot and stuff like that. All i use is supr jumps, infinete ammo and health, super jumps, and massive BMX hops.

thanks to all for ur replies, most helpfull.

So how do you disable the cheats that can be disabled, is that just reentering the cheat so that it says "cheat deactivated"?

Yes, once a box appears and says "Cheat Deactivated", the cheat is disabled.

Not all cheats will stay permanently. Most will only stay in effect until you load a new save file or close the game. The most notorious cheat that will stay in effect forever is the pedestrians riot cheat.

but i tihnk it only happens with permanant cheats (such as cars fly and wanted level doesnt increase)
Both the cheats you just named aren't permanent. confused.gif

All those cheats you just mentioned that you use do not stay in effect forever. You should be fine if you use them; I was.

Once the cheats are entered and the game is saved then even after loading the game and typing it again it gives message saying cheat deactivated but the ill-effects of those cheats will still remain......

The most notorious of them all is the Peds Riot cheat....

It renders the save game useless when u reach the mission 'Madd Dogg' in Las Venturas

Cheats only effect your game if you have used them 1000 times. devil.gif

After that you cant load your game

On one of my files, I've cheated 1019 times and it still works like a charm.

Just today i beat the game without cheats, now i'm trying to get 100% (gonna be near to impossible) but the only thing i noticed is that when i did cheats, for some reason when i used a parachute, it came out, but was uneffective so i died
