Do you use cheats?

move objects is my primary cheat

I don't consider it cheating, but I had to say sometimes.

I only use them to fix glitches, (reset sim for example) and building. The only real "cheating" I do is free real estate but that's for townies that I'm not going to play and if I think they deserve a house.

I refuse to cheat needs, careers or money on my current playing households (or save scumming on deaths) because that makes the game boring for me. I need my sims to do something or have a challenge or there's no point for me.

Oops. I meant to select always use cheats. Mostly motherlode. If my sims want to go on vacation then dangit they're going on vacation. :p

I use cheats all the time. I like a fresh sim to have some skills and interests from the get go, some special traits, stuff like that. Occults, I freeze CAS so they stop moving. When it comes to actual gameplay, I use the money cheat to cheat money away usually. And build mode cheats, of course.

mostly for building (moo, showhiddenobjects...the usual and bb.enablefreebuild) and than to move the right sim/s into the right house (money!). Occasionally for adding traits, like the ones you get from parenthood but I don't (want to) play every dang sim from todd to YA...Skills are so easy to master I never bother to cheat them in.
I LOVE cheats!!! <3

Really depends. Sometimes i cheat all the time, sometimes i don't.

I often make use of the "make all happy" cheat, because as we all know, sims 4 likes to be a bug-fest, and i rather not have toddlers taken away because some sim is too dumb to feed their kid.

I don't use cheats. The closest I get is using the reset code to get a sim un-stuck.

I typically use cheats if I have more than 4 household members. Also when starting out I use cheats for money a lot.

I am really surprised how many people use cheats! I thought less people will. It's not bad of course, just surprising! I personally can't do it haha

I seldom use bb.moveobjects and at times there's a background sim who needs freerealestate. Lately I have also needed resetsim more when water glasses have got glued in my sims' hands :#

@musteni Oooh I didn't know about headlineeffects! It will be useful when I take screenshots of my sims that live alone or whole family screenshots! :smile:
