Do you use cheats?

I use it for moveobjects, to resetsims, and to take away money. I have a lot of mods that may affect my sims' needs, but I don't cheat them or skills/relationships.

God yes, build cheats, money cheat, needs cheat mostly.
The shift click and reset object is unfortunately needed way too often with all the bugs in this game...

I cheat money for new households to start with the proper home and for sims with "careers" that don't pay (enough), for example one of my sims is a DJ and he couldn't possibly just live of the tips so I add some money after each gig, same when my "Rockstar" or "Music Icon" go touring...
I use the needs cheat when they just get in the way of story/playing, like at partys, dates and before sims go to work (if I don't have enough time to fill them all up), when sims are just at home with enough time and little to do I fill them without cheats.

And well, building cheats are a must for me.

I use cheats as a time-saver, like "pretend I've already done this like I have dozens of times before".

Yes, currently it is mostly CAS cheat to be able to fully edit sims. I feel a strong urge to start cheating my sims needs. I feel that they decrease way too fast for my taste and it it is making my gameplay less fun since i try to rush with what i want them to do before they are in the red again, and i feel the activites i have them doing get interrupted often so that they can go fill one need or an another. I dont want to freeze them because i do like playing with needs, i just might look for a way to make them decrease at a slower rate.
