Storytelling players: Do you ever use cheats to set up your stories?

I couldn't play this game without cheats. I really do try to be good, but I cheat. All the time.

For example, I don't think any of my Sims have ever actually been able to afford moving into the house or apartment they live in; if they have been able to, those are just a select few.

FreeRealEstate is my best friend.

But I'll make them struggle financially, otherwise. I typically cheat away most of their money upon playing a new household, depending on the Sim(s).

That's just an example, though. I cheat in so many ways. ?
