Do YOU cheat?

[Banana-nana]

If you can manage to play for multiple generations or if you have OFB, there is really no need to cheat. In fact, I have to find ways to make them LOSE money because they have so much of it.

I don't usually cheat because there'd be no point to the game. I'd end up putting it down again.

I do use cheats sometimes, but only when I'm doing something very specific (like when I created a character to run my town's chappel) or I'm taking pictures.

I mainly only use 'Kaching'.

Apart from that not really.  

[nerdyninja]

I am completely hooked on the codes.  

[gods assassin6668]

boolprop testingcheatsenabled true

cheating isnt my life on the sims it just makes it more fun!

i use the boolprop and motherlode cheat,force twins and Aging off.  

[Kodomo_Arisa]

Sadly, I do. I use motherlode, maxmotives, the career rewards one, the one where you can change the mood bars to whatever you want, forcetwins, boolprop, and the one that speeds up pregnancy. One time my sim, Rose, got married and 1 sim hour later she had twins! Then she had to go in the limo and just PUT THE BABIES DOWN IN THE SNOW! I couldn't find them lol. The cheats kinda ruin the game (not as in breaking the game) for me but I can't help it.

To change what I said earlier, yeah. I use cheats a lot more than I thought I did ^^;

If a family is really struggling and I don't think they could survive with anything else I use the kaching thing. I consider it a 'government grant' or something similar.

Also, when starting up I use the motherlode cheat to give the Sims a half decent house to live in, but then I spend all extra money on expensive wallpaper and carpeting and counters so there's still a challenge in the game.

Boolprop, I'm afraid to use outside my machinima town... I've heard it can screw up games pretty nasty o.o

I used to use cheat codes until an overuse of them bugged one of my favorite houses, and then I was forced to delete the house and family, and all bugged children (7). Then, weeks later, I was stupid enough to use a cheat in my unversity neighborhood screen and it somehow turnned everything from it's normal greens/browns/house/car/lanscape colors to very dark grey and black. All of it! I had to delete my university and create a new one. Just a week ago I played in a favorite family I hadn't played in for awhile, only to find out I had bugged them by using cheats too much. I had to delete them and their twin sons, plus, the special "twin house" I had made for them. Now I ONLY use motherlode. My game is very sensitive (now) and unfortuantly I don't think it would be able to with stand another expansion pack, since the last one I added ALMOST caused me to have to uninstall, and reinstall my game.

The one I use everytime when i build house or just when i furnish a house it''s moveobjects on and the second one is motherlode. 3nodding .  

[Umi_Goddess]

Oh yea I cheat Like all hell. I just can't stand a poor sim. It annoys me!  

[Sanus Ex Machina]

Always. XD
But never those testing cheats unless I'm having a photoshoot or something.

I'm just curious of the amount of people who use cheat codes on Sims 2.

I for one do not, and as a result, had to actually delete a family because of poverty.

Yeah, I prefer playing total sandbox-type games where I can engineer whatever story I want, so cheats are a MUST. I have tons of hacked items to make things easier too.
