To cheat or not to cheat, that is the question.
Okay, so. I want to know how many people cheat and how many don't. Sure, im not looking for an exact number, but Im curious how many people dont use any sort of money or needs cheat. Personally , I will never use a cheat that modify's my sims needs , because I feel like that is not for me to decide and defeats the entire purpose . I am also sort of uncomfortable using money cheats. It's doesnt fully bother me, but I would prefer not to.

I wish it was possible to split family funds and let the spares take some of the family funds with them when they move out actually, it would be nice if my newly married family members could buy a home a little more like they were used to living in rather than being limited to the 20000 they get.
Needs are a little more difficult but even those can be satisfied without cheating with a little creativity. In my gameplay when starting out if I had a sim in need of something I didn't have readily available, it was time to head to a community lot to take care of that need.

lol! double charging on a pizza is just wrong
Momma don't play that business in my game! Lol
Share a link, I'd like to see it. My Sims generally are well off. Not as rich as my Sims 3 Sims, but they usually have a very nice house that suits them/their family, with plenty of money to pay bills and have fun. I've tried tamping down on making so much money, cause once my Sims are filthy rich, I lose fun. I've found my sweet spot to be around the 75,000 to 100,000 after they are in their dream home. Since Sims can lose money pretty quickly with bills and what not I just let them ride it out until the next generation or two needs to earn more.

I try never to cheat with money, at least. It gets addictive if you do it too often... I should probably remove some cheat mods...
Sometimes I make random townie sims and freerealestate them into houses. But I mark them unplayed and leave them be. Its nice to visit a decent house. And maybe one day I'll marry them and reap in the benefits. I just look at it like they are trust fund babies.
Okay so I had a single sim, moved him into a rank apartment and lived there normally for a while. During that time, I had the most fun.
I wanted him to own a business someday and make loads of money without getting a traditional career.
So, I started him off selling things with the flea-market stand on street corners. Selling whatever I could find and use.
-I eventually found out the most expensive thing I could sell on that table was the Voodoo doll ($950). I started buying a bunch of those, going out, and selling them at 300% margins, essentially making $3000 a pop. Day in, and day out.
Eventually I got enough money to purchase a small business in the Magnolia Promenade. I started out slow, selling cheap things, then replacing them with more expensive things, and so on, at 100% margins. The amount of sales pitches I had to give was insane at first.
Finally, I was able to buy the "Sure Sale" perk. - Now With this, there is a known exploit where if you queue them up one-after-another, it will not trigger the 4HR cooldown if they are still in the queue (it triggers after the first one, but he will still preform the action on the sims that were queued)
I started selling Ghost Writer computers, making $20,000 each, and using perks to restock them at $7500 each.
I kept doing this, over and over, expanding my store, buying more expensive items, made my neighbor move in with me to double my sales potential, until I made $600,000 (it took about 3-5 sim days)...
Another reason it didn't take that long was I noticed when he was restocking items, it would only charge the restock fee about 10% of the time. I figured, this is a glitch, but I will use it to my benefit.
Now, because I used a couple exploits, I feel I cheated big time and now I'm at end-game with that sim in the best house in the city...
I exited the game, because I stopped having fun grinding for money and using exploits.
Exploits aren't cheats, they are glitches... but Knowing I can do this, I can't not do it, because it's obviously the programmer's fault.
However, the only person I really cheated was myself.
I don't know. I stopped playing for now...

My household has a lot of money, but no one in it has a job. This is because in my save, the patriarch's ultimate goal is to have as many children as possible, but in order to have kids with so many different women he has to move them in right before they give birth so he can keep the baby. Then, if they're single, all their funds go to him! All relatives also move back in shortly before they die so I can collect their urns, and so if they live alone their funds go back to the main household as well.
I have only used other cheats when it's necessary because my game is broken or because the household can't function without them. I always cheat the toddlers' movement skill because the house is full of stairs and otherwise they just starve, especially when I have 4 toddlers at once and only one parent. And sometimes when my sims go to sleep, their sleep need doesn't go up, so I have to cheat to make the need okay or else they pass out all the time.

Otherwise, I may use a rosebud or two on my played sims to pretend that their parents or relatives are giving them money as a gift.
I'm reading the Infernal Devices. I haven't ever read the Mortal Instruments. I hope that's alright...
aside from cas.fulleditmode and using them to correct glitches

I do sometimes use money cheats to build my Sims a nice house fitting for their background, but I use another cheat to subtract most of it after the building is done.
There are also cases where I intentionally take away money my Sims somehow got, if I feel as if it was cheating to keep the money. In Sims 3 that would be the time portal for example.
I don't like playing with cheats because it takes the fun out of the game for me. It's fun to do the journey for me. Occasionally I'll use moveobjects, but not often. I never use money or needs cheats.
Im so confused girly. I just don't know what to do about them. Because I feel like in real life there are people who dont have to worry about money , so why not have those in my game (with cheats of course). Thats the one reason using money cheats doesnt bother me.
But I could never see my self using motive/need cheats . That is just taboo for me.
