Have ever you cheated in your 2nd+ playthroughs to duplicate New Game+?

I love the New Game+ features that some games have, especially in stealth games where I usually change up my approach (i.e. kill everyone quietly, go in with guns blazing, etc).

For some reason though, using such cheats to duplicate New Game+ in RPGs, action games, or shooters isn't as satisfying. I love replaying Deus Ex games using the New Game+ feature but can't imagine the same joy if I did it in Baldur's Gate II by importing a high level character.

Regardless of your reasons, have you ever used cheats in your 2nd+ playthroughs to duplicate what you had at the end of your first playthrough?

Comments and opinions are appreciated,

Thank you

No because the skills I gained by the first playthrough make the second one feel like being on cheats.

When I beat a game once, anything goes after that so I'll play however I want. I love using cheats and using/finding glitches in games, and it typically increases the replay value for me because I'm able to dick around and do whatever I want to.

I just realized I have not done this before with Star Wars: Jedi Academy. I might need to do another playthrough but max out my Force powers at the start of the game.
