In video games, a '''cheat''' is a feature, added by the game developers and hidden from normal gameplay, that changes the game mechanics in some form. In ''The Sims'' series, cheats are typically achievedactivated through entering cheat codes into a text window, which is opened through a unique key combination (usually '''CTRL + SHIFT + C''').
 
Cheats are used mainly to aid in gameplay by eliminating certain challenges or obstacles. Cheats can also be activated to aid in story telling, to fix bugs or glitches in the game, or just for the enjoyment of the player. The term "cheat" applies to every use of these hidden codes or features, regardless of whether the cheats give the player an unearned advantage. Thus a player can use cheats without "cheating" the game, though this depends on which cheats are used and how they are used.
