Do you use cheats?

Whenever I’ve used a cheat in the past, I would feel terribly guilty afterwards, and I would often quit without saving.

I sometimes use money cheats, but am not into the move objects cheats because I hate when I place a build from the gallery and nothing really fits properly where they have placed it haha

Yes! For everything! I recommend using the UI Cheats mod - it's a necessity to me at this point and gives you control over everything in a matter of a few clicks.

Most of the time just when i'm designing photo sets or preparing scenes for the machinima i still haven't started working on. I do however use cheats like bb.showliveeditobjects to give myself further customization options (shutting it off as soon as i'm done). Some of them really add personality to certain lots i create.

I mainly use 3 cheats:

1) headlineeffects on/off for screenshots
2) reset Sim "name"
3) freerealestate on when I play the bachelor part of my current challenge :)


All the other cheats are either part of MCCC in my game or take away the fun for me. I don't like money cheats at all. That's the best part of a new safe: starting all broke :D

Oh my goodness, I've used this mod so long, its a natural part of my game play, and I completely forgot I had it :D I just love it so much! Especially for friendships, because it seems every one of my sims need to be friends with every OTHER sim. The game pushes other sims on yours all the time, so I figure if my sim is already a friend to the rest of the world, they'd get some peace! They don't, but ok....

Sorry, the friend pushing is one of my fav pet peeves, because the GAME is pushy, its not up to the player.

I only use cheats when it's absolutely necessary.

Lol, yes! And you can become enemies with someone and chat to them like nothing happened two seconds later.

I use Motherlode and MOO, exclusively. Buydebug kills my eyes and frustrates me and I really have no need for the others. I am not opposed to using the others if I wanted to though. I really want a cheat without a mod to make strangerville normal, though.

Pretty much all the time, mostly MOO, testingcheats and the other build cheats for building, occasionally freerealestate when i need to place a family in a house for purposes, other like needs cheats as the need arises. I hardly ever use money cheats on the families I play (and I've actually cheated money down more than up). Money is so easy to attain in game.
