Mods vs cheats
Cheat codes are built into the game and 100% safe. Third-party mods and CC (custom content) are a separate ecosystem — download only from trusted sources like CurseForge, and disable mods after game patches until creators update them.
- Built-in cheats: always safe, no downloads
- Mods/CC: use trusted sites only, never .exe files
- After every patch, outdated mods can break saves — keep backups
