What Cheat Do You Love Most?

Wow, I forgot the aging on/off cheat! :o Maybe because it's off in my game for so many years I didn't even remember it's off. :o

I don't know about the moveobject cheat. Or snap to grid cheat.

FamilyFunds, not because it's easier to move a new family in a good house, but because i can easily take money from them :D I just give them the right amount of money for a empty lot, not the usual 20k. Harder but funnier :D

Wow! That's brutal. *laughs* I usually have one Sim spend pretty much all their cash for the house. Then the second Sim moves in and spends a good part of their cash to furnish it. So by the end of their first day, they are broke.

When I was TRYING to like TS3, I tried a challenge that was interesting. Your first sim had to buy the most expensive lot in the game which took them down to about nothing. You didn't even have enough to do much but buy a bed, toilet, four SMALL walls to put them on (no outer walls, floors or roof). There were many other rules but that got you started. The challenge was to get to 10 generations all living on that lot. It's the only thing that kept me playing TS3 for a few months. I enjoyed the challenge. Poor Sim had to take showers at the gym. *laughs*

As for this poll, I guess I'm an anomaly. I have exactly one cheat: no friends.

This actually sounds like playing homeless Sims. :D
I've done it in TS3 and TS4 and as soon as I come up with about $300 to replace my hard drive and transfer data, I'm gonna do it in TS2. It will be a bit odd, and I will need to set up a homeless shelter, but it is fakeable in TS2.

I used to use it to delete stuff like police cars and delivery trucks, that way I didn't have to pay the bill :D . I also used it to move objects I could move before just to see what would happen. I don't use it nearly as much as i used to.

It's easier in TS3 and TS4, really. In 3 & 4 you can just walk a bit to find food to eat and collectible to sell, so by the end of the day your sims have some food and a small amount of money. In 2 you have to grow food, but to do so you need to pay for a small garden, and so one. Really hard, but so fun :D

I've done this so many time in TS3 :D These kinds of challenge keeps the game interesting ! Because when my sims are wealthy i tend to get bored.

I use them all to be honest, but the money cheats I've probably used the most!

Oh, I know it must be easier in 3&4. That will be the challenge in 2.
They won't be growing a garden for a while though. I'm going to set up a "homeless shelter" on a community lot with tents, public bathrooms, grills and maybe a pond to fish and zone it as hotel. I have a comm skill mod (which I think everyone should have anyway) and I will place chess boards and perhaps an easel on a public beach (and that way the child can comb for seashells to contribute to income also).
I'll set rules like I can only build a bedroom with beds at energy and comfort no higher than the tents on the lot when they reach 5K. Then I have the choice to upgrade the beds or build a bathroom once reaching 5K again and so on.
It will be weird because they won't age unless they are there on the lot at 6pm and the child won't go to school unless they are on the lot between 8-9am, I'll form my rules about that around the limitations as I see them unfold. I want to set a max time at the homeless shelter before they must come home for designated minimum amount of time.

I'm looking forward to making this work. :D

While I don't use cheats anymore when I play The Sims, because it drains all of the fun out of the game, back when I first got it I used to love the boolprop testingcheatsenabled true cheat. It was so great to me, because it was like all of the other cheats in the game combined into one, you could even kill your sim by flies, which still fascinates me till this day.

BoolProp TestingCheatsEnabled

So I can tweak the health bars.
