Anyone else having this problem?

Hey guys, I hope you are all enjoying the sims 4! I sure am, but I am having a little problem with it..

Like, I put the 'testingcheats on' in the game, and made my sims happy (a woman and adopted daughter) and disabled the mood decay. But when they come back from work/school, or if they visit a public lot I have to re-enter the cheat, obviously in ts3 since it was open world the cheat would never need to be put it again.. so maybe this isn't a problem.. I don't know.. would it just be normal? And also.. I'm pretty upset that you can't slide the sims particular needs up and down again like you could in ts3.. if you can please let me know! Like, I loved making my sims hungry at like 5pm so I could make dinner for the family. And making them need to have a shower and use the bathroom at 7am before they go to work etc etc, now I can't and it sucks for me. I hope you'll be able to again in the future..

Hey - this isn't a bug in your game - we're all experiencing it. I don't know if EA intended it this way or not; but it certainly discourages me from cheating so much lol. - As for the needs slider, I miss it too. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be possible at this stage...!

If you type cheat motive > disable motive decay it doesn't go away.

Oh really? even after coming back from work and whatnot..? Hm, that would be good, I'll try that! Thanks.
