Do you use cheats when you play Sims 4? Personally, I don't, because cheats just make everything boring for me. It just makes it feel incomplete for me.
Once I've mastered playing without cheats, I see no reason not to use them. I can do a rags to riches, or 7 toddlers, but if I want to just be rich and never sleep and start off with an ideal career, cheats will let me. I can always turn them back off!
