I set up my Hackintosh (Catalina, Clover) yesterday, and I am trying to change its SMBIOS settings, to show a different model. I used the Clover Configurator and followed the instructions online, but even after restarting, it still shows 2013 model. Is there anything I can do to make the change appear?

Use the “mount EFI” option?
 
I mounted the EFI each time I changed the SMBIOS settings.
 
If the SMBIOS is not changing after you edit the config.plist either you are doing it incorrectly or the config.plist that you are editing is not the one that you are booting with.

Try this.
Go to top tool bar “Finder”.
Select “Preferences”.
Select “Hard Drives”.
This should now show the drives on the desktop.
Mount the EFI, then open the EFI folder that pops up in the desktop and open Clocer folder.
Right click on config.plist and “open with” Clover Configurator.
Make edits and save, then test.
