Do you prefer Acheivements or Cheats?

I cheat to work around some of the bugs. There's nothing worse than trying to achieve a goal but the game won't allow it. I also cheat motives if my Sim is on a date or has run into a romantic interest at a lounge or bar. I actually use the money cheat to keep their funds at 25,000 Simoleans. Cheating skills just makes the game too easy so I avoid doing that. The handiness skill is a lot easier to accomplish with the new TV channel. My Sims can build their knitting and cross stitch skills while watching the DYI or the cooking channels. That's awesome in my opinion. I like the idea of double skill building.
