Real Estate Cheat

I use it for non-playable sim to move them in

Only when setting up a neighborhood with sims to fill all the housing. That way, none of the random generated sims get in my homes.

I do that as well; I find that the game (especially with MCCC) tends to crowd families into 1 and 2 BR houses/apartments, and puts single Sims into the giant multibedroom houses. With MCCC, townies get married and have babies so I move families around as well. And I have no hesitation about evicting a household and consigning them to Not in World population if there's a house I want for my own Sims. ;)

I just motherlode it up then build, my sims are spoiled and don't normally work for money, just for something to do

This is what I end up doing on most of mine.

In sims 3 I used it because the loading screens took soooo long that I would often move the family where I thought they should live. Then if I didn't like the house they got a bunch of cash and moved. Sims 1 my sims would be basically as rich as the programming allowed, and I built houses that reflected that.

Sims 4? I haven't used any money cheats. Just not my play style. I tend to either build from what they have and improve over time or I'll build a house on an empty lot and the sims paint or whatever until they can afford it. Or marry rich and find an... untimely accident... Ya know, sims problems XD

I always forget about it. Can you use the cheat in apartments? Does anyone know?

Same.

I use it for build challenges to move in a Sim to playtest the build, and sometimes for certain townies if I feel they would already have the simoleans to buy the lot/house. For example, my Adam Lambert Sim I moved into a mansion in Del Sol Valley. :) I've never used it for any of my playable Sims though, most of them start out R2R with 0 simoleans on an empty lot.

I alway cheat in the sims game

Sometimes I’ll make an established house and the sims that live there, move them in with free real estate before I cheat their money down. Other times, I won’t and just let them go with only a hundred simoleons to their name.

Yes, but sometimes

Yes, because I like finding cool houses in the gallery and adding them to the maps so the descendants in my family tree can move into them, but often times the houses are wicked expensive, and it's too time consuming trying to get a Sim to earn enough to buy the house outright. Or sometimes I'm desperate to just get a certain Sim out of the main house to make room for more kids or whatever, so with free real estate cheat I can plunk the ousted Sim in their own home for possible new story, and get on with my current game.
