Maybe I’m missing something here. If I am, it’s because this dildo hasn’t made it clear in any way what you may need to do before entering the code.
_NOTE_ I’m not using the cheat to beat other players. Just trying to finish the game in under 8 years.
I’m really hooked on SW: KOTOR. This game is so frigging addicting. So I figure why not see if there’s an invincibility cheat? I want to get through this one so I can get to other games I’ve been putting off. And, frankly, if I beat it without codes, who’s going to give a shit?
Anyway, I go to [xboxcheats.com](http://xboxcheats.com) and find [this](http://www.xboxcheats.com/cheats/Star-Wars-Knights-of-the-Old-Republic-3032.shtml) code. Guess what happens when I try to enter it. Go ahead guess. Goddammit, I said guess!
Very good. You answered correctly. NOTHING! Thanks for toying with my fragile emotions, asshole. And just to spite me, the next link was by him and just as [helpful](http://www.xboxcheats.com/cheats/Star-Wars-Knights-of-the-Old-Republic-3037.shtml).
(I’m hoping someone will make this rant unfounded by telling me what I’m doing wrong, but I’m not holding my breath.)
To anyone posting codes to a major site, make them fucking easy to understand! We’re not all Kreskin!
:mad:

Actually, I’m getting sick of the:
“I did this cheat SEVEN TIMES and ALL SEVEN TIMES I GOT TWINS! This cheat is GREAT!”
cheats on the SIMS bbs. Then someone else chimes in with:
“I did it FIFTEEN TIMES! I GOT FIFTEEN SETS OF TWINS!”
So I think “Oh, good, a cheat that finally works for twins.”.
Typically, I hate getting twins, but I’m trying to fulfill a 10 kid aspiration for a family Sim without turning aging off (my teenagers last long enough, no way in hell am I turning off aging and getting stuck with them even longer). I put in the cheat EXACTLY as it said on the board, and voila - single births! I’m trying to get my aspiration here…and I don’t want the hack, I just want a cheat for a single time.
I’m not taking anymore of the damn twin cheats seriously. So I feel your pain.

I haven’t run into the non-functioning cheats so I can’t really sympathize. However, I can suggest that for cheats, walkthroughs, or FAQs, check out [www.gamefaqs.com](http://www.gamefaqs.com). Loads of good info with a minimum of ads or broken links. [Here’s KOTOR](http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox/code/556553.html) but there is no mention of an invincibility cheat.

That’s what being a Jedi is all about.

Well, if you change your mind the hack is just a .package file that goes in your /downloads folder. You can put it in, load the game, get 'er preggers and then quit out and remove the hack. It doesn’t install anything else anywhere.
I installed it myself because my town needed more people that weren’t townies. 🙂

Take a couple of swings at Malock then run away while using force heal. Then a couple more swings and run. I will have to try the game as a dark Jedi some time and see if I can win without having the force heal power.
