Hello, I’m a new player of Souls-like games. My first game is Elden Ring, but some people say that it is difficult for new players. So, I’m looking for mods to make Elden Ring easier. Do you have any recommendations, or do I not need mods?
You do not need mods. Elden Ring can be made quite easier than other From Software games out of the box. It’s an open world, if you’re blocked at some point, you can go somewhere else to level up and get better. Also, you can summon spirits to help you with bosses and in some areas. And like with previous games, you can ask other humans to help you in difficult moments. I’d recommend to check some guides for beginner friendly builds. Otherwise, you’re good to go. The difficulty in those games is real, but it has been exagerated a lot.

Play the game raw the first time. Just explore a lot and don’t get too frustrated from dying and losing all your runes. It will happen a lot. Just pick yourself up and try again.
I’d suggest heading south for your first playthrough when you make it to Limgrave instead of towards Stormveil Castle. You’ll get more experience and possibly some gear in some areas that are easier than stormveil for a new player.
