For those of you who feel people are cheating, then I suppose you think the Denver Broncos won the Super Bowl by cheating. Could it be that these players beating you are better than you or at least luckier? In a perfect non-cheating world, would we all come in tied for 1st place?
How could they not be cheating and have so many more points than me (you)? When I cut a piece of wood the other day and it was too short, it was of course the saw's fault. How could it be my fault?
Whats that old expression "Its not the size of the dog in the fight, its the amount of fight in the dog"?
Get it?

@Toby-G-211: Thank you for posting those screenshots! I always found it amusing that people would keep insisting that there is no hacking or cheating going on--that it's all just "strategy" or people paying money--when it's obvious that this couldn't be the case. Why would someone spend $50 or more just to win at City Leagues? How could someone possibly lead at 40-60K points within an hour of CoM starting when everyone else is still at 1K?
BTW, here's another beauty to add to the collection:

It's not clear to me. What exactly are these pictures showing that proves cheating?

Look at the last screenshot I posted. What is unusual about that city?
- ApprovedAnonymous9 years agoOk, the first six pictures I posted are all my city. I was just proudly showing off as to say "better than who". There is no cheating going on in those pictures. Now: thesims1depot found the smoking gun, here's what's wrong with this city. How many farmers markets and home appliance stores, etc. are you allowed? This person is cheating. Great catch sims1!
- ApprovedAnonymous9 years agoThere will always be this element. It's not just games. Of course I know it's completely wrong and totally disapprove but if they did away with in app purchasing and required a monthly subscription to play it might lessen those who are playing for free and hacking. What really kills me is that they are hacking to be a top dog in a contest, in a game, in which there are nothing but virtual rewards. They aren't going to send you a $50 check in the mail. They must have some real issues with either self esteem maybe narcissistic personality, lol. Anyway, good catch. May those who use hacks get the ride of their life when a Trojan is unleashed and wrecks havoc.

There are people out there who refuse to spend even so much as a penny on a game, so what do they do? They steal. People who hack the CoM are doing that to steal the rewards so they can get all of the premium buildings and expand their cities without having to pay for any of it. Basically, they're people leeching off the game.
