How to enable the Dev Menu

Overview

This guide will teach you how to enable and use the developer menu.

Introduction

Hey everyone! My name is Kai and I’m typically on the modding channel in the Empire of Sin Official discord.

This particular guide is focused around the dev menu and commands I’ve found. My next guide will focus on the basics of modding Empire of Sin. Please give me feedback as this is my first guide.

Enabling The Dev Menu

Enabling the Dev menu is relatively easy. I *strongly* recommend using Notepad++.

Open the following file in Notepad++:
X:SteamsteamappscommonEmpireOfSinEmpireOfSin_DataStreamingAssetsSettingsDefaultPlatformSettings_PC.json
In this file you will find a setting called “developerMode” and set it to “true” DO NOT CAPITALIZE
You should see “[Dev] QA Perf Test” on start menu if it worked.
You can use (`) to open the console.
You can also press ALT + 1 to open a GUI menu.
You can also access the GUI menu via the pause screen.
