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

I like to think that I don't use cheats, but I do use mods to increase the bills. I also use mods to see Sims' traits and to summon them to specific lots.

Also, when children move out, I cheat so that they can afford whatever house I've built for them and then cheat again to remove that amount from their parents' family funds.
