With cheat/game codes mostly gone, what do people use instead for their single-player games (that don't involve microtransactions)?

Cheat codes were such a nice option for games with highly questionable difficulty or progression.wrote 24 days ago last edited byMods can be an option but some are harder than others to use. I do find that a lot of mainstream games have a pretty good range of difficulties these days (including story mode etc), but definitely not all games.

I just wanted to blast some bad guys.

I rarely play only online or multi player because no pause is not compatible with kids

I would never use a game genie these days, but one of the coolest things I did was with Super Mario Bros. I accidentally put an X instead of a Z at the end of a code that was supposed to make Mario always stay big, but it ended up making Mario always stay small, even with mushrooms or fireballs. My sister and I were elated!

I just want to nuke everything and then go to bed.

Cheat codes were such a nice option for games with highly questionable difficulty or progression.wrote 24 days ago last edited byI haven't gamed on Windows in a while, but when I did [CheatEngine](https://www.cheatengine.org/) and [WeMod](https://www.wemod.com/) were my goto. CheatEngine has really good utility outside of cheats in particular. For a time you could unlock the camera on a lot of games to get some really good (or really broken) screenshots. Though for cheating in particular, I think it's still pretty easy to find a CheatTable for most games.

Mods and trainers.wrote 24 days ago last edited byYeah, I use remodeling for some single player games. It's basically cheats for everything

wrote 23 days ago last edited byWeMod is shit now. It used to be free but now they demand you pay them if you play for more than 2 hours.

Did people actually call those numbers? We couldn't afford that shit.

Only because I have a lifetime membership because I bought it decades before they did prescriptions, other then that I use cheat engine. Or mods that alter the game to make it more accessible and enjoyable

I had already played 3 before so I didn't feel too bad about doing a cheat run.
