Is it possible to roll back "howdryami"?

Accidentally used "howdryami" in a developed city while trying to discover which cheat changes sealevel (probably not the smartest way to investigate cheats...). While I don't really care about cheating I use water as a way to stop R$$$ from moving into certain areas. Is it possible to remove the howdryami effect? Typing it again didn't seem to work.

 

Thanks.

Thanks.

Try and look through the plugin's documentation and see if there is a way to disable the effect.

Except there's no plugins involved, it's one of the original Maxis cheats.

 

I believe most cheats reset after exiting the city (doesn't matter whether you save or not).  The sea level cheat is "setsealevel" (only sets it to zero, a.k.a. removes all water, like the Diagonal Bridge Enabler).  You should get the Extra Cheats DLL; not only does it unlock the development tools and cheats, but it includes a menu to select them from (right click on the cheat box).

Ah :) my bad. I thought it was one of the cheats in Buggi's Extra Cheats Plugin.

I am not sure, but I think howdryIam survives a reload.  Perhaps some one would like to test this and report.

Yeah, just tested it. howdryiam does survive a reload. It only affects the city you applied it to, not the other cities in the region. But once you do it (and save), you're stuck with it on that city.

Thanks.  I guess that means it is only good for prototyping.
