🎁Active Civilization VII Codes
In Civilization VII, unlocking special content and developer tools requires specific steps depending on your platform. While traditional “cheat codes” (like typing a word for gold) are less common now, the game features a robust Debug Menu on PC and a built-in Collection system for promo codes.
Promo Codes & Rewards
To redeem official codes for cosmetic items (like the Modern Trade Banner), follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Main Menu.
- Select Collection.
- Enter your code and submit.
- Check the Rewards tile in the upper-right corner of the menu to claim your loot.
🎮PC Cheats & Console Commands
You can access the developer’s Debug Menu on PC by modifying a game file. This allows you to bypass gameplay restrictions.
🧰How to Enable the Debug Menu
- Go to:
Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VII\AppOptions.txt(orAppData\Local\Firaxis Games\...). - Open the file with Notepad and find the line:
;EnableDebugPanels -1. - Change it to:
EnableDebugPanels 1(ensure you remove the semicolon;). - Save and close.
In-Game Commands
Once enabled, press the Tilde (~) key (or Shift + @ on UK keyboards, or ö on Nordic/German layouts) to open the blue debug bar.
| Command/Menu Tab | Effect |
| Reveal All (Map Tab) | Shows the entire map and all current unit movements. |
| Explore All (Map Tab) | Clears the fog of war but does not show active enemy movement. |
| Enable FOW (Map Tab) | Toggles the Fog of War on or off. |
| Force Age Transition (UI Tab) | Skips the current era and forces the transition to the next Age. |
🎮Controller Combos & Shortcuts
Since Civilization VII was designed with a “console-first” mindset for UI, controller navigation is highly streamlined.
🧰Console (PS5/Xbox/Switch) Shortcuts
- Shoulder Buttons (L1/R1 or LB/RB): Cycle through active Units or Cities.
- D-Pad Up/Down: Open different lenses (Yields, Religion, etc.).
- Hold Left Trigger (L2/LT): Often used as a modifier to see detailed tooltips on selected tiles.
- Touchpad/View Button: Quickly open the Civilopedia.
PC Keyboard Shortcuts
- Shift + Enter: Force the turn to end (useful if the “Next Turn” button is stuck).
- Y: Toggle Tile Yields.
- G: Toggle Grid.
- Spacebar: Skip unit turn.
- M: Move unit mode.
⚠️[!WARNING]
Using the Debug Menu or modifying game files can disable Steam Achievements and may cause instability in multiplayer sessions. Always back up your save files before experimenting with debug tools.
🧪Essential Civilization VII Mods
Civilization VII has a growing modding community. Since its launch in early 2025, modders have focused heavily on Quality of Life (QOL) improvements and UI overhauls. Most mods are hosted on the Steam Workshop (official support was added in June 2025) and CivFanatics.
| Mod Name | Description | Link |
| Policy Yield Previews | Shows exactly how much Gold, Culture, or Science a policy will provide before you pick it. | Steam Workshop |
| Map Trix | Adds dozens of extra lens options and a unit panel to help track scouts and civilian units. | Steam Workshop |
| Rosetta – Dynamic Names | Changes city names based on the current Age (e.g., Londinium becomes London). | CivFanatics |
| Extended Age Lengths | Slows down the game pace so you can spend more time in specific historical eras. | CivFanatics |
| Walled Wonders | A visual mod that allows city walls to wrap around Wonders so they don’t look like “gaps” in your defense. | Steam Workshop |
| RHQ Artificial Intelligence | A major overhaul of the AI’s logic to make them more competitive in late-game warfare. | CivFanatics |
🧪How to Install & Manage Mods
While the Steam Workshop is “one-click,” many players use CivMods, a community-made mod manager. It integrates with CivFanatics and automatically updates your manually installed mods.
- Steam: Simply click “Subscribe” on the Workshop page.
- Manual (PC): Place extracted mod folders into
\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VII\Mods. - Manual (Mac): Place folders into
~/Library/Application Support/Civilization VII/Mods.
Tip:
Always check if a mod is compatible with the latest game version (currently v1.3.2). Major updates like the “Test of Time” overhaul often break complex gameplay mods.
