Manor Lords: Easier play without mods
Manor Lords has no official cheat codes, but the game's own setup screen is as flexible as a cheat menu. When you start a new game you can turn off raids completely, remove the rival lord from the map, start with double supplies and disable weather events. None of the entries below are codes; they are options the game already gives you. It is the only way to set the difficulty where you want it without installing mods, and it works on every platform.
Most codes here need cheats turned on first. See the section on how to open the console.

Turn raids off completely
Raider frequency: None
Set Raider frequency to None and no raiders ever come to your village. The most important setting for players who only want to build.

Off-map adversary: Absent
Set Off-map adversary to Absent and the AI lord who challenges you for regions never enters the game.

Lower housing requirements to the minimum
Residential requirements: Tolerant
Lowers what villagers expect from their homes. For players who want to grow without working to keep approval up.
Easier play without mods: Common questions
Can I change these settings in the middle of a game?
No, they are all chosen when you set up a new game. If you want to change the difficulty of your current save, you have to start a new game.
What is the easiest setup?
Set End goal to None, Raider frequency to None, Off-map adversary to Absent and Starting supplies to Double, and war disappears completely so you can focus on building your town. The Rise to Prosperity scenario is already built on the same idea.
What are the difficulty templates?
There are three templates: Relaxing, Default and Challenging. After picking any of them you can still change individual settings and make your own mix; choosing a template does not lock you in.
Do these options count as cheating?
Since they are settings the game itself offers, technically they are not cheats. In practice the effect is the same: You can lower the difficulty as far as you like without touching a single file.
