Can you play without cheats?

[~Angel~]

Last time I re-installed my Sims, I tried this. Wow, its not the same. I didn't last long before i was putting everything back on, so I am going with no ^.^

I don't know the answer to the previous question. Sorry:(. But I find the game far more interesting and realistic when I use hacks/cheats. Pillow fights, for instance, should take place in rooms where pillows might be found, unless the involved Sims are wearing trenchcoats or some such where they might have been hiding a pillow. Two adults moving into a nice one or two bedroom home might have, at some point in time, learned how to boil water without causing a five-alarm inferno. And it should, IMO, take longer to write a novel or read a book than to take a shower or prepare a meal...so thank goodness for all the great creative types who have made the game better, at least for this player.

I cant live without the InSIMenator.

So I think that its quite obvious that I cant live without cheats.

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.

there are alot of hacks/mods and cheat codes I wouldn't want to play without as I believe I've mentioned before but besides InSIM and a few others, one I would truly hate to play without... is one that is still in testing (but almost ready for release) and that is twojeff's ACR (Autonomous Casual Romance)

I love not having to tell my sims to flirt/kiss/woohoo or even try for baby! :love1: It makes the game so much more fun and my sims seem more real and they have a great time :lol: if you've read my blog you will have an idea of how interesting my game is :rofl:  


Verly, I max motives all the time. I make them hungry if I want them to eat etc... it makes the game much more enjoyable for me to not deal with a sim taking an hour or more to pee :lol:

I use a lot of the building cheats, but never the motive or money ones-I prefer to let my poor sims struggle in their lives!

[Sweetgurl]

*laughs hysterically* no.

[Mickey57]

I did not care for the question because it left the reasoning out.  I said yes, because I can in fact play Sims without cheats, however, the reality is that I don't like it as much without cheats because I like to make stories and I like my characters to do what I want.  Cheats help me to accomplish that.  I do have a couple of households that I play without cheats at all, but most of my people and households have cheats so I have more control of my story lines and fewer uncontrolled actions.

[kathwynn]

I probably could, but why would I? And besides I can really ruin there lives richly with just the right twist... Muhahahahahahaha....
 
Ok that was wrong....  I really play my Sims gasme like a good boy. I use the hacks only for good things and they have happy, happy lives. No Sim ever dies horribly with a bloody messy end that can make even Grim puke and there is no tragedy at all just like in real life.
 
You believe that don't you? :evil4:

[SimulatedDork]

I don't play with cheats...Gawd, stop looking at me like that! Honest, I don't! Shut up! Just shut up!

Playing with cheats causes mental instability, just ask my imaginary friends.

I can't see why I would.  The money cheat being the main one.  Why would I want to torture my sims, live in cracker box, sweat and slave for no wage, be tired all the time and not socialize cuz by the time you get downtown your pooped! Yipe!  I could stay in the real world if I wanted to put with that!! BLEH!!  Cheats YAY!!

:smt116 That is my thinking to.
I love using the cheats `'

[sumpsychochic]

I play with no cheats for my prosperity hood, but I rarely play with them because it is just too hard.
The rest of the time I don't use cheats too often, just the money cheat mainly.

[bungee_rope]

The day I play without cheats is the day hell will freeze over!!



(And um.. if in case hell ever does freeze over.. I still wouldn't play without them.)

[XPTL297]

If anyone would ever play without any cheat, would also not be online here.
The Insimenator includes almost all the cheats available in the game and more. I cheat, and cheat and have fun cheating. Why not?
