Do you use cheats?

The word Cheat should be renamed to Customize, because some people view cheats (game cheats) as negative, as you are doing something wrong. I see it as a way of creating sims how I want them. I like to create generations of sims and sims of all ages. I think it is ridiculous to create an Elder that has no skills. So, I skill sims according to how I intend them to be in the game. All sims from Adult to Elder have cooking skills at least starting at 3, same with handiness.

I don't skill children and toddlers. I rarely skill teens since they should be learning from their parents.

Since it takes an eternity to gain reward points I give adults to Elders a certain number of reward points to start out with (20,000). Teens I give 1,000. That way if I want to add additional traits or use potions I am not hammed in by the whims system.

IRL life is extremely difficult. I play the game to escape. For instance I do not have $50,000 laying around to build my dream garden, but I can do that in the game.

So, I don't think of them as cheats. I think of it as a way to customize the game and play the game as I intend it.

Really depends... MCC is set to keep testingcheats on at all times.

Building cheats - Yes (if needed)
Mood cheats- Occasionally
Money cheats- 99% taking away money
Freerealestate- Households I won't be playing

Usually I do for when I'm building houses for the particular sims
Depending on the play thru I'm going for, I might use a few other basic ones, but I need to find a list of them similar to the ones GrayStillPlays uses.

I use resetSim a lot and something like enabling build mode on lots where we are normally are not allowed to go into build mode and edit things. I mostly use cheats that alter things I feel I want control over.

I don't cheat needs or money or things like that.

This is a single player game, so I use any cheats/cheaty mods I feel using.

I use cheats a lot to fix game glitches (resetsim) and to fix relationships the game messed up.

I used to be strongly against bb.moveobjects on, but I've recently discovered how much fun it can be! So now I use it a lot. :) I've just started to play with the debug objects. I don't cheat for the award objects.

I never use mood cheats, but I have a lot of decor objects and other in-game things to improve moods.

I use freerealestate on a lot. I love having my Sims start with cute houses. But then I cheat to take away all of their money usually, so they have to struggle to pay the bills on their cute new house. I rarely give them more money, but I do have a very rich character that I had to cheat a lot of money for.

I'm using cheats to try to control the unruly NAPs in my worlds.

I use cheats to change the traits of Sims I download from the gallery. No evil Sims are allowed in my world (well, except for Vlad). :)

How can you change the time of the day? :o I really need this!!

I cheated to get a perfect money tree then saved it to my library for use in non cheat worlds

I have a mod that activates several cheats (ofc MOO) as I boot up the game lol.

At times! While playing not so much (exceptions apply :tongue: ), but if I'm trying to take screenshots or test something, definitely!
