Cheats on the steam deck

[u/Trick-Gas-3334]

I have never posted on here before so I have no clue what I’m doing. I have no clue what I’m doing in general. I feel like cheats use to be so easy when I was younger but now I don’t get the time to research and learn the terminology. I love playing video games and I know people hate cheaters but I’m a mom and I get no time for myself, maybe an hour at night. I want to relax and play but I don’t have time for the grind. I usually waste that hour not even playing just looking up videos how to install software to cheat. I have tried every cheating software but somehow can never get them to work. Well when I first got my steam deck I got stardew valley cheats to work but I don’t even remember how I did that. I have so many things downloaded like wemod, modengine, cheat deck, deckyloader, ect but I have never been able to actually use them. Somehow then never work. And I “$upport” the site each time not just downloading for free. If you get what I mean. (It wouldn’t let me post when I said it a different way) Like today I was trying to download plitch (I got pro) (thought I’d give that a try it says it has the cheats for the game I want) and some how now fucked up protontricks so I thought I’d uninstall it and reinstall it and it won’t redownload so now I’m like fuck. I probably have fucked up my steam deck. All I wanted was to play harvest moon winds of anthos with infinite stamina and to stop time once in a while like I did with stardew. Can someone please help me. I know this wasn’t really a direct question but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong to ask how to fix it. I’m sorry.

You should try following a modding tutorial on YouTube for the game you want. You'll find the free mods on Nexus Mods and just have to do some simple steps to get them into the game. Make sure to include steam deck in your search as it's different there as opposed to on windows.

You're likely running into problems as the cheat software you're running is designed for windows and you're using a Linux based system.

Also, I'd be careful using the word cheat in gaming spaces as people think cheating in multiplayer games like call of duty when you say that. I'd suggest saying modding or mods as then it's more clear you're doing it offline and by yourself.
