When people to the motherlode cheat over and over and they get millions i would like to know why because you can't spend it all. So can someone tell me why (if you) do it.

I use motherlode only when I need a certain set for a sims movie or story. I might need a lot of money for being able to use expensive objects, building a big house and pool, etc. Then when you want to change the lot for another scene or such, you need money to build a new set and so on. I don't use the motherlode cheat for anything else.

I only use Motherlode in certain families.. Like if I build a new neighbourhood, I would want some upper class sims, and I use motherlode a couple of times for them. But I usually enjoy making money the real way, by making my sims do it!

For the family funds cheat to work, you need the Nightlife EP...and that wasn't your question. The motherlode cheat is for anyone to use, regardless of how they play. I only use motherlode to set a family up, and that's not very often at all. Like Lars, I have different classes of families in my game, so the cheat helps that situation. But otherwise, I'm an evil god, and make my Sims work for a living.

I use motherlode if I want a Sim to own a big mansion. I also use it for stories. I do make my Sims work, though, like Kimi said. It ruimns the whole point of the game if you use the motherlode cheat.

I also (as many have previously said) use it only for really movies and if i want a sim to have a good start to their life Sometiems i will use it for a buisness, i consider it to be say a grant or a loan. Only use it once though for buisnesses

I use it a couple of times so I don't have to worry about my money state.

For me, FamilyFunds doesn't always work. Especially if you have multiple families with the same last name. Which is what happens when I give spares their own house in my legacy neighborhood.
But, if I make a new family, I don't motherlode them. You can fit a family of up to 6 in a house with 20,000 on the right size lot.

I only ever use motherlode when I'm building really extravagant houses for Sims, especially those ones who are 'wealthy'.
Apart from that, I try my hardest to make them survive on whatever they have in the bank.

It ruimns the whole point of the game if you use the motherlode cheat. Thankyou! someone finally said it. Motherlode ruins the fun of the game. I only use motherlode when i build houses but i only type it once and if i need more i'll retype then if i have left overs i use family funds.

Unless I absolutely must have something immediately in my game, i dont use it, I use the family funds cheat to set my sims up where I want them, Though once I start to get further ahead in my legacy attempt that will probably no longer work. I am much more likely to use "Kaching" so they have enough to get through a few days without me worrying.

Motherlode. Motherlode! Motherlode? I barely use it for me I use familyFunds #familyname# £Money$ but even then I don't see thepoint in either cheats are used to alter the game and what happens in it. To confess the main cheats I use are boolProp and MaxMotives, but even then the point of the game is to play a simulated version of life, and we don't have cheats to make us completely loaded....But cheats in the game are needed to make variety of families. So motherlode and dall other cheats are like tomato sauce/ketchup. A Necessity.
