Can you play without cheats?

[Tomkat]

Can you play Sims 2 (<- for clarity) without using cheats? This includes cheat objects, and all type-codes.

Id be the first to admit to "no"
I have a startup cheat file that enables testing cheats, and gives shorthand versions of "maxmotives", "motherlode", "move objects on" and "boolprop snapobjects to grid false/true"

so how about u?

I voted no because I can't unless I really really don't want to use it. For example when I want a family to be very poor and trying to live on as little money as possible and making them very miserable.

[taniaissimo]

not anymore i cant :lol:.. my game is a total breeze now with all the mods/hacks i have, I dont use the codes anymore only time I did was for the money but now the new insim has the budget adjuster i not need for the motherlode/kaching code .
I hope most of the hacks will work with pets tho as I will be at a loss :lol:

I wonder how on earth I use to manage when I first started playing.

[howardlpeters]

Absolutely not!  I just can't imagine a family with low motive, no money and living in a shed. lol  I want fantasy, not so much reality.

I do most of me gaming without using cheats. Otherwise I get too bored with the sim/neighbor and go on a killing spree. Well, sometimes I do that anyway :devill:
 
I do use cheats when I'm setting up pictures for the contests, but then those sims were created specifically for the contest and set in a neighborhood I don't play.

i can play without cheats
but i just am stupid to play without themm...lol

[Verly]

no way, it's not possible to me.  there are so many cheats and mods people have made to get rid of all the annoying things that maxis added to the game.

and I'm not saying this just because I'm here at InSim, but I don't know how I even played my game with out the InSIMenator.

I play with less, but when I learn a new cheat/get a new object I have to try it out ten-hundred times before I get bored of it.
I don't use the money cheats much anymore and it's tons of fun starting them off in a small house and building their way up.

[marit]

Yes, I can and sometimes do play without cheats. It's a mood thing.

I don't consider the decorating cheats such as "snapobjectstogrid false" to be cheating at any time so if we're counting those the answer is NO I can't do it without cheating.

When I'm cheating I use lots of "motherlode" and insiminator. Lol. I've never done a "testingcheatsenabled" because I'm kind of scared it'll screw up my game.

R U Kidding who would want to play without cheats? Money is everything in this game.. I NEED MONEY

[The Mule]

Nightlife made it too easy. Don't need cheats. But sometimes they're alot of fun.

[bre]

I prolly could play without cheats, but I'm not too interested in trying. :lol:

[jinyc]

I am too impatient to deal with original Maxis Sin not to depend on Eric, Jase, Squinge et al. Sim life without hacks would be no game life for me!

[Micco]

Voted no...

*Micco states the obvious

Well, I guess if I absolutely had to then yes, but hell would have to freeze over first!! :grin:
 
I couldn't make my simmies live without all the hacks and mods - I'd be throwing the damn game out of the window!!
