Press CTRL+F and find the word "defaultunlocks" (without the quotations).this should highlight the line of codedefaultUnlocks = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]change all the "0"s to "1"s, so it looks like defaultUnlocks = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]and now press CTRL+S to save.Note: this only works for single player, this trick works for multiplayer, however, EA Games will ban your CD-Key for a week if they discover you are using this for multiplayer. So just replace the unaltered backup file of "unlocks.py" for multiplayer and vice versa.
