No Mods, No Cheats, and No Debug
I played vanilla for a long time with no mods, but I used cheats and debug constantly. I was trying to climb Mt Komorebi and my sim stopped gaining rockclimbing skills. I decided to delete my Sims 4 f...

I don’t use mods or CC. I do use kaching or mother lode for some of the premade families in my saves, like the Goths, Landgrabbs, and Calientes. Mostly because I have them own businesses, since I prefer using businesses mostly to go to rather than run. I play rotationally and I don’t really play the premades as much as I do my own sims. That is about the only cheat I used for a long time and I started my main save in December of 2014 with a lot of “save as” along the way. For me, this is the best sims game for not crashing, and I love that my sims can move around to other towns and keep all of their friends ( which are mostly sims I created and play too ).
The last 6 months or I have started using a few more cheats.
I started using some moo when I want to fit more objects onto a dresser or something ( in sims 2 I used it a lot ). I think I started out using it because I wanted to make fake changing tables, which we don’t need now with GT. Now I will also use it when rearranging furniture and stuff to either put the backs of things closer together or to center things better, as well as cluttering up a dresser and such. I also love it for landscaping.
The last few years I have gotten so frustrated with dirt piles and trying to figure out why they are happening that I started using a cheat to put them back to normal. I will say one thing that helps with them when on the home lot is fast forwarding through 5 o’clock in the morning. But they still happen going off lot and such. I got tired of saving every 5 minutes, and going out of and back into the save. and the cheat works great, it takes some time ( I wish there was a cheat to reset them all at once ), but it sure helps with the frustration of seeing those dirt piles. Most of my sims do some type of gardening as I use the simple living trait a LOT! I sure wish they would spend the time to come up with a simple clothing trait so I would have to buy my sims clothing. I don’t normally play legacy type saves because it gets so boring for me, but i might play a rags to riches game if we had a simple clothing trait that opened up each piece of clothing, hats, shoes, jewelry, socks, etc. by buying them. For rags to riches I would start my sims off with only a few pieces to begin with and match them up together, just enough pieces to fit in a suitcase, like one pair of shorts, one t-shirt, one pair of pants, one sleep/lingerie item, and one jacket/cold weather item, and probably even have them wear the shorts and t-shirt for swimming till they could afford a swim suit, they could use the t-shirt for sleepwear actually. Making sims buy or grow their own food is great, now I just need that simple clothing trait.
I also use a cheat to cheat away lifestyles I don’t think my sims should have, my farmer became a technophobe which he wasn’t suppose to be, being technophobe not only made him down while watching a movie after a hard days work, but would not let him work on his wood crafting bench ( which he was supposed to love ). Although recently I saw there is something on the phone where you can change them now.
I’m sure glad they made it where Sims weren’t always dissatisfied with their jobs and things. That was killing the mood on so many of my sims that liked exactly where they were in life, and were not particularly wanting to move up in their job. Sometimes I want a secretary to stay a secretary and enjoy other parts of her life like clubbing…. Lol. Although I did have one lazy sim that I made do hard labor that was always depressed and sad which made me laugh as he was supposed to be that way, he had to work because he had to support his child…. Lol, but he hated working at his dead end job….. lol, the dead end job thing just made him feel worse on top of already hating work. A little back story here …. I’m one of those people who have mostly happy cheerful sims.
I haven’t tried debug or hidden objects yet, but a lot of lots and rooms I download use it. I will probably try into that later.
I never use skill, or mood, cheats or change my sims in any other cheat way.
