I have nothing against cheating. I definitely agree that in a sandbox game, it isn't really "cheating." However, as someone that's been playing sims since childhood, I would find the game too boring if I cheated all the time. I like the challenge of managing relationships, careers, aspirations, motives, and recreational time. I also rarely cheat for money, because I find seeing how much money I can earn to be a fun part of the game. For my own personal preferences, cheating takes away the fun. But if you cheat - more power to you!
