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

I nearly always use the money cheat when starting a new game. Part of my enjoyment is building the house that will suit my Sims, and I don't want to be hampered by limited finances. Sometimes, I'll use cheats in BB to get access to things that can't be purchased, or that only come with certain careers. I'm more interested in the challenge of keeping motives full, learning skills and advancing in careers or (for kids and tots, learning).
