So let's hear it ...
do you cheat?
what cheats do you use?
are there any you wont use?
Personally I only use the "Make all happy" cheat during the infant and toddler phase of child rearing ... all other cheats ruin the game for me ( i am not cheater bashing, everyone plays the game different)

it's quite large so you might get a better responce there xx
The only time I use cheats is when I make movies.
Naa I never use cheats. For me, it would ruin the experience. I cheated once in The Sims 1 for extra money and I then relied on it and eventually it ruined the game and never played it. The Sims 3 is totally different for me and I don't want to ruin this. Besides I love running around the neighbourhood in this game having babies with the chicks and I can still lead a normal single life with my world renowned surgeon lol. I love this game. Its awesome!!
Exactly! ^_^
I usually only cheat when I have to, for example when I had 5 toddlers and one kid and both parents working, otherwise they would never have learnt their skills and probably would have been abducted by the social worker. Otherwise it's just for glitches or if they are really tired but perfectly happy otherwise and I want to get on with something I sometimes max their motives.
I second that. I've played (TS 1 & 2) in the past with cheats, but, to me, they just make everything too easy and the game becomes very boring after awhile.
Sims is so fun just as a housebuilding game, the motherlode cheat just calls out to me.
But, money doesn't seem to be huge problem for playing a legit game -- so cheating definitely isn't something I find necessary.
eventually when Im bored with the game, Ill go sandbox mode on building houses for fun. Used to have to cheat for that for the funds to build the house, but now I think you can build unlimited lots
Just thought i'd mention this cheat to you: testingcheatsenabled true
If you put it in, in live mode you will be able to drag up their energy levels
Anyway, back to the topic.........
I use the cheat mentioned above and motherlode. It just depends what game I'm playing. If I've got loads of kids or a really hectic job and life then I like the cheats because it makes it a little easier
Currently in Sims 3 I have one cheat family (hard not to with 6 kids! Mom was a stay at home and dad worked but is now retired, so even with the oldest daughters part time income, his retirement pension and her book royatlies, when their triplets daughters became toddlers, they had to remodel the house to make enough room for everyone. Between the remodel and buying some new furnishings, they were broke even with the one cheat I allowed them.
My other family is completely legit so far, well when it comes to using cheats. She is a kelpto and ends up selling most of the things she pilfers, but does return the most expensive ones.
