Yes and no. Cheating is for tinkering or messing around with mechanics in a sandbox like game IMO.

Ived cheated in games before and I just burn out faster and ruins the experience. I even go as far as won’t use mods if they feel unbalanced or ruin the vibe. Sometimes I’ll use them, but if the game has mods I’ll try to beat it vanilla first as it gives me a lot more context on what mods do and what i want from them.
