Temporarily uninstall all security software (besides the Windows default ones) and try again.

Yeeaaaaaahhh.............. sorry, but being able to cheat at a farming sim isn't worth all that to me. Thanks for trying though. Will just play without.

Trying to fiddle with it to get it to work. it probably something on my end. it actives with no problem but it fails on capturing the player. i fiddle around and try walking around . harvesting and stuff and still doesnt seem to capture. just wondering if their something speical you are suppoused to do to get it to capture, or it just suppoused to capture as soon as the game loads in? try getting rid of kaspersky and malwarebytes and trying to redownload after. so just wanted to make sure about the capture option requirements. sorry to bother you.

Start the trainer with admin rights, start the game. When in the game's main menu where you can start or load a game or exit, press F1 to activate the trainer.

When in the game, get your character out of bed, press Numpad 1 - Please wait ... activated.


Make sure you have the trainer exe file and the - Work - folder in this location - C:\Users\YourWindowsUserName\Cheathappens\ - excluded from any security software scans.

If you don't know how to do this, please visit our AV Notification page, pick your product and read or watch how to do it. -> Link

thank you

Hello, here is my savegame. If I missed anything please let me know. I open the trainer, press f1 at the start, then hit 1 when I get in game and move out of the bed, it says "Please wait....failed."

I've turned off my windows firewall, and I have no other anti-virus or firewall software.

I also use admin when opening the trainer.

If you use Windows 10 you have Defender + SmartScreen running as security software. Please create exclusions for the trainer exe file and the - Work - folder, which is created by our current trainers in this location here -> C:\Users\YourWindowsUserName\Cheathappens\ in Windows Defender.

Also, set SmartScreen to 'Warn' instead of 'Block' where applicable.


Ran latest trainer v1.2.33 with admin rights
Started the game via STEAM
At game's main menu, where one can start a new game or load a save pressed 'F1' to activate the trainer, hear 'activated'
Game starts, moved character out of bed and pressed Numpad 1: Capture Player, hear 'activated'
Went outside house, pressed other options as described in the instructions


All done with your savefile, trainer works as intended

Do I see this right? You removed the super speed option?

This was the most important function of them all 😭
