Free real estate cheats when moving a sim into a new home, and money cheats to lower the amount of money they have.
Move object cheats when trying to place decore items, but always make sure there are not any routing issues as a result.
And the last thing I will use a cheat on is if something happened because of a game glitch, I will use a cheat to restore.
I don't know if this is considered cheating but I do unlock the career promotion lock items and open up buydebug. The only time I won't unlock the career items is if any of my sims are in that career or I'm planning on a sim to work in that field, but most of my sims are now self-employed. I even use a mod that unlocks all the career items in CAS.
