Overview
Using the dev console to change stats in your game WITHOUT starting a new game.Only 1 destructive coding method needed, and it’s much easier than hardcoding it yourself.
Shortcut
Hit Shift + O to enter the debug menu while in game. Not sure if this was an update or if it’s default but try this first before you change any code.
Forward
If you DO NOT know how to code, you should NOT attempt this. (though, it’s simple to change a single statement).
If you ARE NOT smart enough to create a back up of the file because you do not have it officially on Steam, then you SHOULD NOT try this mod.
I WILL NOT provide a copy of my files if you mess up. There are ways to fix the errors.
If you are on a Mac and do not have it installed through steam, I do not know the folder path you set it to.
Nothing against any of you, but if you haven’t done this before, it’s a learning experience. It takes time, and you’ll learn things on the way.
Instructions
First, you must enable the dev console.
Once the Dev Console is enabled, while you’re in game, press “shift + o” and it will appear at the top of your screen)
To exit the Dev Console, type in “exit” (‘esecape’ doesn’t seem to work)
Locate the files for Sunrider Academy.
If it’s through steam, there are two ways of locating it:
If on Windows, the folder path is here, and you can copy/paste it in the address bar of your computer:
“C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonSunrider Academy”
If you don’t know where it is located:
Right click on the game in your library
Click on “properties”
Go to the “Local Files” tab
Select “Browse Local Files…”
And the folder should open up.
After that, you will want to open the “game” folder.
Enabling the Dev Console
In the game folder that Sunrider Academy is located, you have a file called “options.rpy“.
Rightclick “options.rpy“, and hover over “open with”. A small window will pop up, asking you what to open the file with. Select “notepad”.
It should look a bit like this after you have opened it:
The code you will want to change is “config.developer = False“.
Erease the “False” text and replace it with “True“.
Note: Be sure you do not delete a single line, or a single space BEFORE or AFTER the word “False”. Doing so will result in a broken game.
Once you have changed this statement, go to “File > Save As“.
After the prompt has opened, follow these steps one at a time and in order! Skipping any of this will result in a broken game.
- Save As:
- Under “File Name“, save it as “options.rpy“.
- Below that is “Save Type As:“, and change that to “All Files“
- Next to the “Save” button is “Encoding“, change that to “UTF-8“.
Using the Dev Console
After Sunrider Academy has been successfully launched without crashing, go into either a new or loaded game.
Once the game starts, and, if it’s a new game, you get your stats, activate the dev console.
To activate the dev console, press “Shfit + O” on your keyboard.
Note: Once the dev console is enabled, you can’t use the interface of Sunrider Academy until you exit the dev console.
At the very top of your screen, you should see a tiny black line going across it. That is your dev console.
Once you see this bar, type in any of the code given below to change your stats.
To exit the dev console, type in “exit“. I cannot stress that enough, because if some of you ask me why you can’t exit the dev console, I’m not going to respond.
Code
Type in any of this code into the Dev Console, press enter, and your stats will change.
You can do this to multiple stats per dev use. You don’t have to exit the console every time.
NOTE: Replace the “#” sign with any number you want.
For Character Stats:
- stat_money = #
- stat_stress = #
- stat_intelligence = #
- stat_luck = #
- stat_homework = #
- stat_charisma = #
- stat_fitness = #
- stat_grade = #
- stat_prestige = #
For Clubs:
- stat_kendo_member = #
- stat_kendo_readiness = #
- stat_kendo_morale = #
- stat_science_member = #
- stat_science_readiness = #
- stat_science_morale = #
- stat_swim_member = #
- stat_swim_readiness = #
- stat_swim_morale = #
For Affection
- affection_sola = #
- affection_asaga = #
- affection_ava = #
- affection_chigara = #
- affection_maray= #
Note: For the affections, put the value at 100 to no longer see them. And when you want to give them a gift, change it to anything lower than 100.
Known Problems
Delayed Activation Issue

After pressing shfit + o and entering the code, there may be a few minutes between the time you press enter and the time the code sends the information though the system to update your stats.
Maray’s Affection
Credit: Kats
Maray’s max affection is higher than 100.
Maray’s affection has to exceed the maximum to ensure a certain flag goes off, and you don’t miss your chance on accident by asking her what the others think of you 1 day before that flag goes off. If you have 100 and you ask her what others think of you, Maray’s affection/approval rating would fall by like, 5pts or something like that, and the requirement is 96, well, you basically miss the flag, so they increased her maximum.
Escape Doesn’t Work
You have to physically type Exit. I put it in the guide as well, but just in case you overlook it, here it is.
No other known problems to report so far.
