Console gamer. I duplicated some ebony armor a couple of times using the mannequin trick. Not that I needed to, though, most of my money I've gotten without any cheating.
Skyrim...have you cheated?

Absolutely.
I played for about 6 hours before giving in to helpful time saving cheats that reduce the grind experience I get from all Bethesda RPG's. For my first play of about 40 hours all I used was a carrying capacity cheat for convenience since I hate to backtrack and inventory manage.
On every subsequent playthrough I use a carrying capacity cheat, infinite money cheat and reveal all map locations cheat. This is where the game gets really fun for me as pretty much all grinding elements are removed and I can focus on the stories and gameplay.

I've effectively respecced my character when I realized that some perks weren't really that good, and that armor didn't penalize spellcasting (and that heavy armor had no drawbacks at all with a few perks) unlike in previous Elder Scrolls. Just added and removed perks, but kept the picks legal and the total number of perks constant.
Beyond that, nothing.

I use tgm(god mode) when i feel like murdering an entire city after a good hard day of "goody toes shoes" adventuring, i save before hand.
After selling off my 300 pounds of stuff I might use TCL when I backtrack to a rotunda like dungeon because I left some deliciously expensive artifact on the other side.
I used the money cheat once! and only once because after a buggy quest i was 2000 gold short, to me it was compensation.
I gave myself 1000 lock-picks because i'm not putting a single point in lockipicking but i still want to reap the benefits of expert level doors.
that's all really, i don't really cheat as in putting on god mode against a tough boss, that would be stupid.

No, there are games where cheating makes the game more fun for me, like GTA San Andreas but I'd lose interest pretty quickly in a game like Skyrim if I started cheating.
But it's nothing to be ashamed of. I don't see what's the problem with cheating as long as it's only a singleplayer game.

Yes.
I've had to use TCL to get myself unstuck a few times and Eorlund Grey-Mane has vanished without a trace so I've been trying to use the console to put him back (had no dragon attacks in Whiterun and I've looked thoroughly around the area between the Skyforge and his house).
Also used a quest skip command but that was a test for a friend. He'd finished Diplomatic Immunity but Delphine wasn't giving him the quest to go and get Esbern so he'd been stuck for a while. The wiki suggested the quest skip as a fix for this bug so I tested it for him.

I "used an exploit" in leveling my conjuration by recasting conjure sword in front of a trapped enemy. But that was because I didn't feel like fighting anything and I wanted 25 conjuring for the 50% reduction. The novice level spells are just terrible.
Nope, and I feel like I'm having a lot more fun with the game that way. Play it how it was meant to be played, then you get the full experience.
I believe achievements are only disabled until you restart the game, at least that's how it worked in FNV.Rex Dark said:
I haven't used console commands aside from tcl when I can't find a path up a mountain or I get stuck in some rocks. For the most part cheating ruins the game for me.
Well considering that I have it for the 360, I'm pretty much limited to the exploits already in the game. I don't know if you consider crafting 1000 iron daggers to boost blacksmith but that's about all I've done.
Not that I could on a console. Even then, I don't use exploits or glitches, just because it deprives from the experience.
I looked up the best armor in the game and how to make them to see how far away I was from crafting it. Other then that, I kind of can't. No console commands, ironicly, on consoles.
I DID wander into one of those mega-tombs where you find Thu'ums when I was really weak, and ended up sniping the badly pathed boss for five minutes until he fell. 140 Steel arrows.
