While i agree that disabling eac's file-checking isn't a good thing, there isn't a way to magically enable cheats in the config files. People do this to get better fps ingame or you can make the game look better on max graphics.
Some overlay programs like Overwolf and PlayClaw which you can use to get custom crosshair are whitelisted by EAC. https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/tcgrw/guides/whitelist/
