Comment on Do you cheat in games?

I can’t recall the last time I used a cheat. I so wanted a game shark growing up. Some games I will exploit systems if I get a chance. That said there is fun to putting on ‘god mode’ for a game like gta and going to town to just blow crap up, sometimes you just want to fool around.
I wouldn’t say I ever beat a game while cheating though, hell the list of games I’ve beaten is shorter than women I’ve dated (or at least close I don’t keep track anymore). Really though growing up with undiagnosed ADD and only being allowed to rent games, possibly for the best, I finished reactively few. Oh shit the Sierra adventure games I never count those ones for some reason, they were great for learning typing.
In the end just play how you want single player and don’t cheat multiplayer is what I think works. Though I wouldn’t call it beating a game if you used cheats, maybe saw ending or finished but not beaten. Though all semantics is all.

The Sims is more fun with cheats, but these days I only play the Sims with the nsfw mods. I don’t actually like playing The Sims as the devs intended, and never really have enjoyed it. Building a rad house was fun for an hour or two tho, and the money cheat made that possible without having to tell some foolish bot to piss in a toilet.

I haven’t tried the sims in ages, it was relatively fun but not overly for me. Still tried all 4 at one point well 1-4 there was another one or two I know. I can see that one being good for cheats to just build and have fun.
That said I quite enjoy two point games of making rooms and areas for whatever their theme is for that game. Hospital, museum and the other one(s?) I forgot, been awhile now.

I loved Sim City 4. I have countless hours in that game, and I still fire it up and binge it for a few months every other year. But the two games (Sims and Sim City) honestly don’t have that much in common.

Oh by others I sort of meant mostly other the sims not in the 1-4 had to look them up but urbz, bustin’ out were two I recalled if only by mention that they existed, can’t say I ever played them or even recalled reviews. Back in the day used to keep up with that thing, now just read a few reviews and play if it doesn’t sound like shit.
Have played a fair bit of city over the years too, I actually didn’t mind 4 even if it was received poorly and I get it, though that was close to 15 years ago heh.
