TYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTY:)
charlie // November 23, 2008 at 5:13 pm |
ty works.. i hav a better waytho…
To get 1mil food and 1 mil tech download cheat engine 5.4
Open cheat engine and then open virtual villagers. now look at the top left of cheat engine it should hav a flashing computer.
Go all the way to the bottom and shuld say Virtual Villagers – The secret city ( something similiar to this)
Now go on value on cheat engine and put in how much food u hav eg : 5000
then click first scan.. it shuld come up wid loads of values but dont worry!
now get like 3 villagers and get them to eat some food. u shuld hav a lower number now eg : 4997 ( eg – example )
Now there shuld only be one value in the list. if there isnt try again . Click on that 1 value! Now double click on that value at the bottom in the box where it is under Value and then it shuld say change this value to : and chage it to watever u want and bingo! lots of food!!!
To use it wid techpoints u do the same but there shuld be 2 values and u hav to change them both to the same value eg : 10000000, 100000000

David // February 19, 2009 at 1:19 am |
do i have to have full game to install or what
Amy!! // February 19, 2009 at 1:42 am |
yay it worked thanks alot for those of you who have vista you need to download WinRAR or WinZIP. I have WinRAR so all you need to do once the file has downloaded is extract it to my documents and find LDW then open that up and it should come up with Virtual Villagers the secret city double click that then click ok. You then need to open up my documents, LDW, Virtual Villagers the secret city then find the file you just extracted then double click on that then another window will open upcalled Hex Editor Neo Patch Apply Utility. There should then be another box which says path to the file to patch with 3 dots to the side of that click on the dots then pick one for example my choice was Virtual Villagers – The Secret City1.ldw i clicked on that then clicked start and you should get another file which says this Virtual Villagers – The Secret City1.bak that will be it done you can do this to all of them or however many you want to do. I hope i helped for all those with vista.

it works!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOUUUUUU!!!!
to Brianna: LDW is stands for Last Day of Work, it’s something like the creator of this game..
to Coral: how could does the game didn’t exist in your ‘my documents’? are you sure you have been installed the game to your PC? save it in your drive C..cause the LDW folder will shows in ‘my documents’ if you install the game correctly, and you have to make sure that Virtual Villagers – The Secret City1.ldw is in the LDW folder.. then you just have to follow the instruction above.. good luck!!
