Disable them ? I don't know about that. I'd say "just don't cheat", but for some people that can be a real challenge i suppose. I've played the Sims as well, and i cheated in the beginning to get the biggest house on the block. My character was a professional athlete, so he was making a pretty damn good living. But i got bored fast with this game. All my character tried to do in his free time, was make out with every woman in the neighbourhood, while his own wife was sleeping upstairs.
