Why God mode for that? I would think that playing a game on easy or

When I say exploring I mean doing things like just walking through

Oh - a cheat mode. That stuff is still going on? ?

I did a bit of googlefoo and the answer seems to be yes. Personally I

Also to explore without having to worry about dying, find hidden rooms
with no entrance, or all the secret areas.  Not having to come back
later with key x to open a door (personally I hate that, but haven't
gone that far.)

That sounds great sometimes.  Which game and cheat do I need? :-)

I'm sure you can look up which, I never used it, it seemed like it took
too much challenge out of games.  I did briefly use wizard mode which
lets you save your game in Nethack, except it didn't help that much
other than with experimenting.  I think sometimes the walking through
walls part is called wall-hack?

I'm pretty sure a lot of console ports have things like that.  I think
at least some of the earlier Doom, and other FPS games did too

Bethesda has a lot of console commands you can use without even using
mods.  Apparently tgm is the command in console to turn on god mode.
hit ~ to open the console.  Then type: tgm<enter> and ~ again to exit
console mode.

I remember infinite ammo/no reloading is a popular cheat/mod in a lot of

Cheat Engine often has tables for any offline games, or you can set up
invulnerability pretty easy.  I mostly use Cheat Engine to speed up
games that have tedious parts or slow them down when they're too fast
paced for my old reflexes (but yet I'm somehow reasonably good at souls
games without any cheats. Oh yes, I did cheat past some very tedius
farming for materials in DS1 on my SL1 character, after I'd already
finished the game a couple times, and proved I could farm them, it was
just would have been many many hours of farming.)  Also auto-pickup
armor & weapon boxes in EDF as it's too tedious to farm in
hardest/inferno otherwise, really it's too tedious in inferno even doing
that.

I wonder if there is one for Elden Ring so I can finish the game.  Or
maybe just to frollic around without worrying about dying :-)

Due to the anti-cheat you have to disable that first and play offline.
And of course, there's thousands of mods for ER.

 Thanks!  Should I try it? I will back up the one and only save game
file but are there other things to worry about that I might lose? Does
it work with my same character or do I start all over with a new one?

I'd assume it works with the same character.  It looks like that mod is a bit old and may not work any more but you can find cheat engine tables that at least would let you never take damage.  Again you have to disable the anti-cheat though.
Here's a cheat table for cheat engine that goes over the whole process of how to get it working.

Just thinking out loud J! :-)
 I am sure there are areas that I did not go to since the world is
huge. I would love to mess around with it again.  But, in reality, I
forget how to play it! :-)

When I come back to a game I haven't played in awhile I always start the game anew, at least until I remember how to play, then I can switch back to an old character if I feel like it.
