Being honest, I'm in for fair playing, but sometimes cheats are useful. Once I used cheat codes for the Sims to get endless money, just to enjoy the game (they do not offer 'explore' mode, so I had to use that). When I wanted to use one of the programs with a different game I faced a difficulty in understanding how Cheat Engine works, so I used Artmoney, and this was way easier. Yet a friend of mine used Cheat Engine without any problems.
