well when i started the game i used cheats, more specifically the add experience (addexp #) one, and now im stuck on level 20 and no matter what i do i cant level up, i am on dantooine and cant even use my lightsaber , so can anybody help me fix this problem!!! Please

Yeah that's one of the worst problems. Level 20 is the highest level you can get to. So technically you can't get one free jedi level, and you have to be a jedi to use a lightsaber. In fact I remember something about lightsabers I read before.

The lightsaber is an elegant weapon that only jedi and sith can make, because they wanted their weapons to be unique. They did not want other people to learn the ability to make one. It is a deadly weapon, but in untrained hands it can be the lead to an accidental massacer. In fact the jedi and sith improved the weapons so that you had to use The Force to activate an internal device instead of an external button.

Well now Im saying random things so Ill lay it straight. When you complete the training on Dantooine you gain a free level that allows you to become a Jedi. Level 20 is the highest you can get to. If you are a level 20 scoundrel, then you are unable to get a free Jedi level. You have to be a Jedi to use your lightsaber.

The solution:
Wait until you get that free Jedi level to use the experience gain cheat.

You shouldn't double post Dr. Bob...

Instead of blantantly cheating turn the auto-level up on in the options menu, then your character (and your party if you want) will automatically level up each time...
