I call it fixing economic and war conditions to get the desired result

Well not exactly.
I played as Nixon and deliberately played all my cards early in the campaign to see what would happen.

Who has tried creating real post-1988 races using the custom system? The winner usually seems to be the same as IRL but the margin is often different, plus John Kerry (for example) is too strong in the South.

[NeverAgain]

Hillary v. Jeb 52% - 48%. Did as accurate as possible to a degree. Created a dumb Third Party Candidate Neutral all the way through, got 0% of the vote so no taking away from Hills there.

I think the reason why Kerry is stronger in the game than in real life is because the Game was created in 1987. The Democrats were still very powerful in the South.

I wish this game could have been updated. President Forever series is the closest to real 2016 simulation that there is out there.

Considering the game's age, shouldn't it be relatively hackable?

You'll have to figure that out, my friend.

It appears that we can at least edit in candidates in the database; however, they will have to replace existing candidates and I haven't found a way to change more variables than the in-game candidate editor can do.
