How to Skip Unskippable Tutorial in Nova Roma 2026 | XMODhub

Editor’s View: The Prologue Prison

“During my third playthrough of Nova Roma, my old save corrupted, so I had to start completely fresh. I booted up a new map, ready to execute a flawless Patrician grid layout I had mapped out on paper. But the advisor popped up and locked my camera.”
“I couldn’t open the Senate menu, I couldn’t see the water overlays, and I couldn’t build roads until I placed exactly five Plebeian tents exactly where the game told me to. The Unity engine literally grays out the UI until the tutorial script finishes. I spent twenty minutes doing chores just to unlock the sandbox tools.”
“Eventually, I realized the easiest way to avoid this nightmare is to keep a pristine, ‘Post-Tutorial Day 1’ save file on hand and just use a save manager to inject it whenever I want to restart.”

Method 1: The Config File Tweak (Preferences Edit)

The game stores your global profile data outside of your specific city saves. By editing this master file, you can trick the game engine into thinking you have already completed the prologue on a previous playthrough, unlocking the full UI immediately.

How to edit your tutorial flags:

1. Close the game completely. Ensure it is not running in the background.
2. กด ปุ่ม Windows + R to open the Run dialog box.
3. ประเภท %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow and press Enter.
4. เปิด Lion Shield folder, then open the โนวา โรมา โฟลเดอร์.
5. Right-click the file named Preferences.json (หรือ Settings.json) and open it with Notepad.
6. สื่อมวลชน Ctrl + F and search for TutorialCompleted.
7. Change the value next to it from false ถึง true.
8. Save the file, close Notepad, and launch the game. Start a new city, and the advisor will be permanently silenced.

Method 2: Speedrunning the Mandatory Triggers

If you are uncomfortable editing raw JSON files, or if the config tweak gets patched, your only vanilla option is to rush the hardcoded engine triggers. The tutorial is gated behind three specific building milestones.

How to finish the prologue in under three minutes:

• The Water Prompt: Ignore city planning entirely. Plop the Town Center down immediately. Place a Well right next to it.
• The Housing Prompt: The game will lock your UI and force you to build housing. Do not build a grid. Just spam five basic Tents in a messy line right next to the well.
• The Food Prompt: The advisor will ask you to feed them. Place a Wheat Farm and a basic Market immediately adjacent to the tents.
• The Unlock: The moment the Market is built, the “Senate Unlocked” notification will trigger. At this exact moment, the tutorial script terminates. You now have full UI access. Use the demolition tool to delete the messy camp you just built and start your actual city design.

Method 3: The Developer Console Myth (Unity Engine Facts)

When locked out of the build menu by an annoying advisor popup, many PC players immediately press the tilde key, expecting a command line window to drop down so they can simply type an end-tutorial command.

Because โนวา โรมา operates on a tightly compiled retail Unity Engine build, Lion Shield has entirely stripped the native developer console from the public release. There is no hidden text prompt. You cannot type commands to bypass engine scripts or force-unlock the UI.

Furthermore, you cannot manually alter a brand new city save file to skip the script. The game compiles your active quest logs into encrypted binary files. Manually opening a save file with a text editor to delete the tutorial quest will instantly corrupt the binary formatting, crashing your game upon loading. To bypass this sequence safely, you need a verified save injector.

The Ultimate Solution: Start Clean with XMODhub

If you are tired of building the same five tents and wheat farm every single time you want to try a new map seed, you do not have to suffer through the tedious prologue sequence ever again.

The XMODhub PC Client provides the ultimate bypass tool, letting you jump straight into the pure sandbox city-building experience the second you launch the game.
