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

Always! I like to play realistically and having every single person in the world start out in the same place financially doesn't make sense to me haha. I create my stories by setting up all kinds of Sims first in the area, some rich, some poor, some famous, most not, i set the relationships i in the want ahead. Some stories create relationships during the story but some are needed ahead etc. And then I play and sometimes I'll cheat throughout too if I need things to go a certain way in my storyline.
