Do you use cheats?

I could not have played the way I do without cheats, including the UI cheat mod. Say if the main issue is to have head of the house's portrait painted, I might spend an hour on preparing the background/decor in a studio I normally use for portraits. Then, if the sim needs to use a toilet I will definitely cheat his needs. I can also cheat needs if they are up to a specific goal/situation with a limited time frame. But I often play with no cheating too, I like following most of my 60 families through a normal day.

Never use money cheats though, except from when establishing a new family or needing specific decor for a story etc, but then I'll normally reset the effect of that cheat afterwards.
