Game Cheats Not working properly

I will do my best. When adding to stats, like Charisma, different instruments like guitar, Piano, & violin. University giving degrees such as Computer Science, History, Biology, Fine Art, when doing cheats for children to get them on track such as: stats.set_stat lifeSkillStatistic_conflictresolution 100, stats.set_skill_level statistic_skill_toddler_communication 5,  stats.set_skill_level skill_child_creativity 10 so on sometimes they work without teatingcheat true or testingcheats on while sometimes they will do one then no more even retyping to activate. The University cheats for degrees if it works I sometimes won't see them without logging out & back in sometimes that doesn't work. ie: traits.equip_trait trait_University_ComputerScienceDegreeBA - traits.equip_trait trait_University_FineArtDegreeBA or traits.equip_trait trait_University_CulinaryArtsDegreeBA, to list a few. The promotion one for jobs not working at all yet for me detective one then the famous careers are hit & miss. I have a folder( several in fact) with cheats & codes printed on my desk for various one I also have them bookmarked to I can copy & past. I am not reporting any that I might mistype I only report when I have made sure that they were done correctly. The one for going into CAS will also not allow fulledit & sometimes will not allow to save to gallery either one saying something about not allowed to save while in tutorial mode. Then close out go back in & can save so strange. Sometime click on sims to fill needs & does not work then after doing do several (3 or more) times it works. Since the last tiny update Sims are pausing & que is dropping more. The pauses are not just a few seconds it is for more than 30 secs up to a min  or more. Even had my sims last night get up & walk out of H.S. class on Friday while taking her exam. She failed cause even when they returned after lunch she did not do her test. I  am seeing where the teens are more rebellious for lack of better word of late & with each update things seem to get worse. This is with a  CleanSave game without mods. No mods have ever been on this game. The games I have mods on a couple days ago now I can log in but cannot play them it will not let me play any sims not even evict any. That just started after that last little update. Yes mods are utd unless some have been updated since I logged out. Will check when I log on as always. Thanks for any assistance with this.
