Probably because they actually have stuff to do. When I first started the game, I used cheats. Then there was no reason for them to get jobs, and I didn't really have anything I could make them do.

what i meant is the ones that i dont use cheats on are leaving in a nicer house and are hella alot richer

Normally, I would cheat the hell out of my sims, until I read Alice and Kev. So now I am starting my own project just like it. Homeless sims, bt instead of just two sims, I wanted to try it with three. Two twins, a boy and a girl, and a father.
Anyway, It's a nice change from using cheats all the time, to not using any at all.

'maxmotives' is my bff.

Right now I'm doing a legacy...so none at all. I even had to remove some of my mods.

Sometimes, I'll build a house, check out the furnished price, and use the familyfunds one to get them to 500 more than the house...so from there out they're on their own.

If I use cheats and make their lives easy, I lose interest really fast.

Moveobjects and constrainfloorelevation ftw.  

[Esora2]

When I play I almost always have moveobjects on only because my sims are super stupid and like to walk into objects and get stuck. Annoying little....

I am trying to use maxmotives less because there's no point of actually playing the game if I just cheat their needs up. That and motherlode. I usually use kaching though to get to a point when I first play them, and after that they get jobs.

And as for bool prop I avoid it at all costs. I worry what that cheat will do to my game D:  

[Darth Kosher]

Once I used Motherlode over and over again. Half of my gameplay would be using cheats such as boolprop, maxmotives, ect...

Then it got boring... and I dropped it.

I picked it up again, restarted the entire thing, no cheats at all, and still to this day I've been more interested in the game then before. I guess realistically, everyone struggles...and I've always loved the reality of the game.

I cheat all the time 3nodding
Why? becuse in sims 2 I sent my sim to collage and he committed suicide by running to the bathroom...
His brothers and sisters did it to... crying
I still don't know how this kills them... ninja

I used to cheat alot when I played Sims 2, but when I switched to Sims 3, I kind of stopped cheating as much...
(I would use money cheats and the maxmotives and a whole bunch of cheats... XD )


I usually get them some money(But I don't always do it) to get a decent house... And then they have to work to get more money... : )

When I cheated all the time I got really tired of the game... ^^'  

[Menaceman]

The only cheat I use in Sims 3 really is moveobjects when decorating or removing stuck objects.
I used to cheat so much more in Sims 2.  

[pinapplepielady]

Unless I am doing a story, no cheats whatsoever. If I am doing a story I overload my game with cheats for the story to work.  

[in a timely manner]

I almost always use testingcheatsenabled and then max all of the needs. I get tired of them having to use the bathroom and eat all of the time, so I just make it so I don't have to worry about that.

I recently started a legacy where I won't use any cheats at all. C: It's kind of fun.
