Farmville - Database Hack

This is a very powerful cheat that you can use to purchase Farmville items (even cash items) at 1 coin. It's might be a bit more complicated than the other cheats but the results are well worth it! :)

a) Programs needed- For this cheat, you will need the following 2 programs - Both are free :)

1) Fiddler2 Web Debugger (Download here)

2) Internet Explorer Browser or Google Chrome

3) *Microsoft .Net Framework - Only needed if Fiddler does not work. (Download here)

b) Items needed in Farmville -  In addition, you will need the following item in your Farmville game.

3) Press CTRL + S and save the xml file on your desktop.

4) On your desktop, right click on the gameSettings.xml and click Open with -> Wordpad.

5) With the file opened, Press (CTRL + F) to find item name = "dairyfarm"

6) Below the line bull line, add another line with the same format, changing the bull to the item you want to hack. For example, let's say I want the Dancing Snow Lady item. (See image below)

7a) Next press (CTRL + F) to find "snowmandancing".

7b) Change the Type to "animal" and Remove the market="Cash". Also, change the Cost to 1 (See image below)

8) Once done, save the file. Close the file and open Fiddler2.

10) Now, start the Farmville Game. Go to the Market Place -> Animals Section and you will be able to see the item you just hacked. In our example, it will be the dancing snowman.

11) Buy the item and then put it into the dairy farm. Next, go visit a neighbour then return home.(At this point you may get an Out of Sync error message, just let the game refresh.)

12) Next, right click on the dairy farm -> Look Inside and then use the item. Place it at your desired location on the farm. (The item may be invisible. In this case, just visit a neighbor and then return home.)

13) Like magic, your item will be at your farm after the game refreshes. Phew. That was some hard work! :P

d) Important notes

1) This cheat is 100% working. If you do not get it to succeed the first time round, try again. If you are still having trouble just drop me a comment.

2) The above example is to hack a snowman, by following the above steps, you can hack any items you want.  To find items, just browse through the xml file and see what is the name for the items.

For example, if I wanted a villa, I would add the villa line below my snowman line. Then change the type to animal and cost to 1. And remove the market="Cash" if any. 

*Note that for higher level items like villa, you can also change the requiredLevel to 1 so that you can still buy the items if your level is not high enough.

*This hack is very powerful, there are still a lot of other things we can do with it. Will update once I've explored. Do check back. :D
