Sid Meier's Civilization VI Cheat Codes

No typed cheat codes exist (Tips)

Civ VI ships no console; the debug menu is ini-gated and community mods fill the gaps.

Enable debug console (Misc)

Add DebugMode 1 under [Debug] in Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Engine.ini (or AppData path); press ~ in-game.
