I recently tried to use the familfunds cheat and it wouldn't work...so I opened up the list of cheat commands available and it didn't list familyfunds!
So I was very confused as I have certainly used that cheat in the past. I have been having some issues with my game ever since HEL's and the latest patches.
However, EA did some update to the EA download manager and my game has now been running without crashing to desktop (knocks on wood). So I checked the cheat commands again and it now shows the Familyfunds cheat, I haven't tried to use the cheat yet, but this is all too confusing.
