I know I already commented but I thought I'd add. I find the game boring if I DON'T use cheats.
I really don't want to spend all my time telling my sims to eat, go to the bathroom, make sure they exercise so they can get fit, go to bed, blah blah blah and I use motherlode out the wazoo. That's the way I like to play my game.
I want to have more fun having them actually DO things. so once again, I cannot play The Sims 2 without every cheat known to man. lol.
I don't know how I even played the game without the insimenator.
