Schedule 1 is an open-world action-sim game that puts you in the shoes of a budding drug empire kingpin in the gritty city of Hyland Point. While grinding your way to the top through drug production, sales, and expansion is part of the fun, sometimes you just want to skip the hustle and wield god-like control over the game. That’s where console commands come in. With the right setup and know-how, you can unlock cheats to spawn items, teleport, manipulate time, and more. This guide will walk you through how to enable console commands in Schedule 1 and provide a list of the most useful commands to enhance your gameplay.
How to Enable Console Commands in Schedule 1
Before you can start typing commands, you’ll need to enable the developer console. Here’s how to do it:
Download MelonLoader:
- Head to the official MelonLoader website (or a trusted source) and download the latest version. MelonLoader is a universal mod loader that allows you to inject mods—and access the console—in Unity-based games like Schedule 1.
- Install MelonLoader by running the installer and pointing it to your Schedule 1 game folder (usually found in your Steam directory under Steam\steamapps\common\Schedule I).
Install the Console Unlocker Mod:
- Visit Nexus Mods and search for the “Schedule1ConsoleUnlocker” mod.
- Download the mod, extract the .dll file from the zip, and place it in the Mods folder that MelonLoader creates in your Schedule 1 directory after its first launch.
- Optionally, grab the “Schedule One Console” mod from Nexus Mods as well to ensure stability and avoid potential bugs.
Launch the Game:
- Start Schedule 1 through Steam or your preferred launcher. MelonLoader will load automatically, and the console should now be accessible.
- Note: This method works for the demo/press build. In the full Early Access release (as of March 24, 2025), you can enable the console directly in the game settings under the “Game” tab by checking the “Enable Console” box—no mods required!
Open the Console:
- In-game, press F8 (for the modded demo) or ~ (tilde key, for the full release with console enabled) to bring up the console at the top of your screen.
Test It Out:
- Type help and press Enter to see a list of available commands. If it works, you’re ready to take control!

Tips for Using Console Commands
- Experiment Safely: Some commands (like setvar or setqueststate) require specific variable or quest names that aren’t always obvious. Use them cautiously or consult modding communities for exact IDs.
- Save First: Commands can sometimes glitch your save file, especially in Early Access. Always back up your progress before going wild.
- Combine with Mods: Pair console commands with mods like the Minimap Mod or InstantDeliverySupplier for an even smoother experience.
- Know the Limits: As of March 26, 2025, Schedule 1 is in Early Access, and some commands (e.g., setjumpforce or setowned) may not fully work yet. Check community forums for updates.
