Not officially, but yes you can. Certain steps MUST be performed:

* Turn OFF Cloud Saves

* Set game to Update on Launch

* Manually back up the current Saves if you want to keep them AND the original regulation.bin file.

* Start the game and delete all the saves (note you still have the backups and they will still be in the Cloud Saves. But you don't want to confuse the issue by modding with old saves. Set the game to start in 'Offline' mode and no online interactions. Do NOT turn them back on while playing with modded saves.

* Shut down the game and Steam.

* Download the Anti-Cheat Toggler and use it to disable EAC.

* Use the tool to Toggle EAC OFF. Do NOT turn it back on with modded saves in place. Do NOT turn it back on with modded files in place.

* Download your desired mod(s). I use the Easy-Mode mod as it leaves some challenge but removes a lot of the frustration busy work and grinding.

* Before you launch the game, ALWAYS check to see if there are any Elden Ring updates. If there are, backup your saves and regulation.bin file, then update.

* After the update, launch the game but do NOT enter into the game with your character. Exit the game at the menu where you would 'Continue'.

* Update your game with (hopefully) updated mod files or just restore your just backed up modded regulation.bin file.

* Again, NEVER attempt to play online with your modded characters or files. That WILL get you banned.

A lot of steps to stay safe. But it is worth it if this is you way to play. :)

P.S. Since you MUST NOT be 'Online', playing with friends is not possible with a modded Elden Ring.

Good Luck!

thats very helpful ngl imma send it to a friend
cuz if i gotta do allllll of this for that imma just probs not do it at this point

I understand. It becomes second nature after a while, and if the easier path through the game is what makes it fun . . . then I think it is worth it. :)

Big thing is not having access to Online Mode while modded files are in play. :/

Hexington table, offline, gigagib. Also, the guy who posted that large wall just gave you a lot of BS to do before hand you don't need to listen to if you just want items... Maybe if you are running an actual mod.

Literally just download Hexington's CE table, drop one file in the game folder, launch with that file, run CE, gigagib whatever items you want (these are tested/proven safe), save, exit, launch normally. In less than 5 minutes you can have every weapon, armor, cookbook, map, wetblade, rune, weapon upgrade, etc. Then exit and go online.

Most of the people here are uninformed.

That isn't modding, it's cheating. And yes. Just go offline and use cheat engine to give yourself whatever you want.

theres literally a mod that does that so i figured its modding lol

The difference between modding for an advantage and cheating for one is subject to dispute based on the subjective feelings of the disputer.

You will likely get flagged as a cheater. Which will make you matchmake with other people who are marked as cheaters. At least that is how it worked in the old games. If you use cheatengine you get softbanned and it reduces the amount of the playerbase you can play with. Which is either totally fine or it removes your ability to play with friends if they are marked as clean accaunts.

This is objectively wrong, but keep fear mongering.

Yes, I am referring to actually running a persistent mod. I actually don't know the risks of directly altering saved game data files, nor what safeguards EAC may have in place. It is also hard to predict what they may do in the future regarding that sort of activity, especially as it can impact Online Play.

So, you are correct, I am uninformed as regards file editing vs using actual mods. Thank you for clarifying. :)

Welcome. I figured as that seems more related to mods/open world. Whereas the OP just wanted to skirt the word cheat and spawn 999 of all items.

Well that depend of what mod you gonna use

You cant be too cautious because when you get softbanned there is no way back. But if people in this discussion find ways around it by all means go ahead.

Im not trying to fearmonger but I try to be real. And it is easy to mess this up if you dont know exactly what you are doing.

You're not wrong here, Jasmine. File editing and modding are certainly not for the faint of heart nor to be undertaken lightly and without some research.

My philosophy when modding a game that does not support modding is to just accept that I may lose my saves or even access to the game. Basically, if I could not mod the game, I would not play at all. So, for me, the risk is worth it.

I mod Elden Ring because my hardware is to old and slow and I am to old and slow to play without some help. :)

Not really, he calls things for what they are. It's cheating and it will make you banned if EAC is running. He tells you to disable EAC but yeah, it's "arguing"

bro still on this xdddddddddddddddddddddddddd

the fact you can't understand what is being said here... just lol... just because something is described as a "mod" doesn't mean it can't be a cheat.

if you download a "mod" that allows you to give yourself 999/999 of everything in the game, that is a cheat. this isn't up for debate.

anything that has an objective impact on the game - such as getting items out of nowhere - is a cheat.

is changing your appearance through a mod a cheat?
yes, if its used in multiplayer, its very much a cheat, because it disguises your gear, which gives you an advantage in pvp.
if used in solo? no, its not a cheat, because nobody - not even the game - is affected by a visual mod, because the AI doesn't need to see you in order to calculate its next move... that being said, any and all mods will get you banned if used online.

you've been warned. do what you will.

Just play offline. If you ever decide to play online you probably will have to make new character and remove mods.
