I totally used the motherlode cheat. The Malfoys were born rich!

I haven't played with Nightlife yet. Installing and playing the pirated versions requires running all sorts of software, and so I figured I'd play with my completely legit version first, until it got boring.

Oh, but in Nightlife, you get a new cheat code - maxmotives gets all your sims up to full on their status thingies, so you can concentrate on doing stuff like studying cooking rather than keeping their bladder from exploding.
