You mean when you save your game and exit, then reload it, the cheats no longer work? Why have the cheats at all if you eventually have to build power plants and water pumps, then?

I tried all lower case, the capital H, and other variations, and none of them worked. Now the power cheat has stopped working too--suddenly I'm getting no power messages. I'm baffled.

I'm new to SimCity 4. I have the RH expansion and I'm running it on my Macbook Pro with the latest version of Leopard. When I started my city, I entered the power, water, and reward cheats (fightthepower, howdryiam, and you don't deserve it)--yes, I am a cheater. The power and reward cheats both worked, but the water cheat didn't. There's a news story every two seconds about the lack of water inhibiting growth, and when I moved in my Sims, they started complaining constantly about having no water. Does the water cheat not work for Macs, or is it case sensitive? What am I missing here?
