Can you play without cheats?
hotrod50s:
lol nooooooo i cheat all the time i don't use very many money cheats of any kind it is easy enough to get money but the insim has so many cool things to play with and squinges mods and inteen i mean i just did a reinstall and added my can't live without cheats in 1st lol.
now i'm working on getting the skins back in i downloaded one hack too many and caused 149 conflicts since i couldn't trace it down i did the reinstall and fixed a bunch of problems i was having.
in a couple of weeks i will have to go thru it all again when pets come out lol.
even with a fresh install and no hacks i will still cheat :D

What some people don't understand is:
1, not all hacks are cheats
2, not all cheat codes are actually cheats
3, not all hacks/cheats make the game easier
Some hacks fix maxis bugs.
Some hacks just change how something is done and may actually make the game harder.
Some hacks just get rid of annoying stuff.
Some hacks add to the game like a mini EP (like InTeen by jase or twojeffs Auto Casual Romance)
Some cheats like moveobjects , snap to grid, Wall Placement Restrictions Removed, Plumbbobtoggle and allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation etc... certainly are "cheat codes" but aren't cheats. They are just for building and decorating and stuff.
I dislike when people turn their nose up at all hacks and cheats just because they want to think they are better then people who do use them. Yes, I have come across numerous people who are like that....
If I said I use the familyfunds cheat, most people would assume I use it to "cheat" and give my sims lots of money, when actually it's the opposite, I usually use it to take money away from them. (I'll also use InSIMs budget adjuster but it depends on how much I'm removing)
When I do give my sims money (for maybe that new house or just basic furniture for the new empty house) I always take money from them once they start having "extra cash hanging around" untill the initial "loan" is paid back. Although sometimes if their parents have way to much cash, I perfer to think the parents bought the house for them and take the money from the parents.
So anyway, my point is (yes I do have one lol) using cheats/hacks dosen't mean your cheating or making your game easier or boring, sometimes they just make it different.

Excellent post SleepyCat. When I said I don't use cheats early in the thread, I took "cheats" to mean things like "motive decay off", "aging off", gimme-the-world-on-a-silver-plater type cheats.
While I don't use those types of cheats, I will readily admit my game is has plenty of mods. InSim, InTeen, harder jobs (MATY), and NPC careers (that just take up ads in the paper to make it even harder to get the job you want) are just some of the mods I have. "What's this?" "Miss this?" Come on Maxis! Let the adult sims grow up!
