Activating Console Commands

To enable console commands directly within Sons of the Forest without external programs, load any saved game. Once in-game, type “CHEATSTICK” on your keyboard. It is important that your keyboard is set to an English layout for this to work. After typing “CHEATSTICK,” press the F1 key. If the console does not appear, try the sequence again. This method allows you to access a list of commands by pressing F1 after the Debug Console is activated. For some commands, you will need to type “on” or “off” after the command to enable or disable its effect, such as with godmode on.

It’s worth noting that if you reload your game, you may need to disable and then re-enable the Debug Command Console for it to function correctly again.

Using Third-Party Tools (WeMod)

Currently, many console commands for Sons of the Forest are accessible through third-party applications like WeMod. WeMod is a client that injects cheats into your game without installing files directly into the game’s directory.

To use WeMod:

  1. Download and install WeMod.
  2. Create an account within the WeMod application.
  3. WeMod should automatically detect Sons of the Forest if it is installed on your system.
  4. Select Sons of the Forest from your “My Games” tab in WeMod.
  5. Press “Play” within WeMod.
  6. Load a save game or start a new game in Sons of the Forest.
  7. Once your game is loaded, press F10. You should hear a beep, indicating that Debug Console Command mode is activated.
  8. Press F1 to bring up the console command interface, which will display a comprehensive list of commands.

When using cheat and modding clients, it is highly recommended to play offline. Using these tools online could potentially lead to a ban. WeMod allows you to select specific keybinds to toggle various cheats on or off.
