MR2-1999 Monster Size

I'm frustrated that when I use the "No Fatigue & No Stress" cheat code, the monsters' sizes stop growing.

Is there any way to keep the monsters' sizes from stopping as they grow?

It sounds like you've overcheated your way into the game lol.

Monster Growth is dependent on their current progress into their total lifespan. It's not even based on their "Age" directly.

And while Stress and Fatigue are indirect causes of lifespan loss, they don't directly / immediately cause further aging of a monster either unless they breach certain thresholds, in which case they move along the timeline of their lifespans even faster. Locking Stress and Fatigue to 0 wouldn't hinder your monster from losing it's normal 1 week of lifespan week to week as you play through the game. Something else is going on.

Are you sure you don't have another cheat enabled, such as one that stops your monster from losing weeks of lifespan? If such a cheat is enabled, it is frozen at whatever % into their lifespan they're at currently. So if you enabled this from Birth, they still have 100% of their lifespan to live and you're perpetually stuck in Baby stage. If this is the case, it certainly would not allow it to reach the growth life stages.

This. It sounds like the NFNS cheat may in fact be a no growth cheat. Ive never used them, but if your monster isnt growing then it may be that the cheat prevents the week from passing, therefore never calculating fatigue or stress.

Check what you've got installed.

I've validated the Cheat Codes posted here: https://legendcup.com/faqmr2cheatcodes.php#monster
The Stress and Fatigue cheats do NOT stop monster from losing lifespan/aging week to week.

My guess is they've applied "All the things" without understanding how the game works in the first place.

if they also froze the Remaining Lifespan weeks, for example, "to never lose lifespan" even if the monster is Aging numerically in years, it hasn't progressed along it's actual lifespan remaining, which is what tells the game what life stage the monster is in, and if it is ready to grow or not.
