Driven to Cheating (Anecdotes)
This is intended to be a humorous anecdotes thread, not a list of cheats etc. It's aimed at those who normally don't cheat, but at times are driven to it. What happened in your game and why did you ...

Usually, I just cheat because like my game crashed or something and I don't want to work for everything again. I don't need to justify that though, that's pretty reasonable I think. I do use TCE a bit for things here and there for story purposes or something (most recently I've cheated a couple relationships back into their current story standing, so my sims actually interact as they would in that situation... not the opposite way). But generally, I'm pretty hard on myself and my sims with the cheats (I will cheat to take money away from sims before I will cheat to give them money, I'm horrible).
Every once in a while though I'll cave in and cheat the needs up or something so my sims can work on a skill that will help them get a promotion. Like when they're so close how can you resist? You have to be inhuman if you can resist at that point. Or just because my sims tend to have lots of children around and sometime you just gotta fill everybody's needs (and just keep them static for a bit) so the whole world doesn't explode from the chaos.
Or for "love". That one gets me to cave in a lot lol. If I want my sim to be with someone, I will cheat the relationship up lol. Especially if the other sim is already in a relationship and is stubborn and won't accept my sim's advances... looking at you Alice. I justify as not cheating because I story progression is a jerk and you can't stand in the way of "true" love (aka a relationship built on perfectly compatible physical characteristics because babies).
