Real Estate Cheat

I use it all the time. Mainly to make sure my sims have what they need but I usually cheat their money down and make them earn the rest.

Also, @joRN1414, I'm pretty sure you can use it for apartments as well. I don't play in apartments a lot because of the neighbors.

I use it when im setting the households at the beginning of my save or if it makes sense for my story.

Use my way (above your post) and you can move them into your adjoining lots. It's easier.

Not for my sims though.

Always.

I may use MCCC's 'increase funds' or the 'money-to 0' cheat depending on my sim's lifestyle. But they'll always get their property for free, no matter what! (Because my builds are expensive, even if they're complete shacks.)

Whatever happens after that is the challenge. If my sim can't pay the bills, well....the power will get shut off. They'll have to figure something out. That's what makes it fun for me. Not so much for my sim though...

In reality, most can't afford to outright buy property with or without a house on it. So, rather than simply cheat them the money required, I use freerealestate on. It's really useful when the backstory is an inheritance of said property. ;)

No, my general play style usually always starts off with a single sim living in a 1 bedroom house or apartment, then work their way up in career etc... but it doesn't take long before they are living in a 10 bedroom mansion as making money is extremely easy in this game anyway.

No, most of my sims have started off with only their 20,000. But, if something costs a little more or I do want a sim ( and their family) to start off with a higher priced home I just use money cheats. One time had 8 sims that were friends start out in a home together with one bathroom, good thing they had a Bush they could use, lol.

I use to move townies around. My Sims move in honest way if ever.
