This discussion about whether or not something is or isn't "cheating" is ludicrous.
It's very simple: Is it honest, up-front, and agreed upon by all concerned parties? Then it's not cheating, it's just a different set of rules.
Some examples:
If we decide to play Valheim together and I tell you before we start that I'd like to use a mod that makes each chopped-down tree provide 1,000 wood... if you agree, then I'm not cheating, it's just a mod.
Similarly, if I go on a date with a woman who is not my wife, but both my wife and the woman are aware that I am married and dating... and everyone is okay with it, then it's not cheating, it's just an open relationship.
It's not the act itself that determines whether it's "cheating"; it's lying about it.
That truck with the aftermarket super charger? It's not cheating unless you claim the truck is vanilla. The moment you lie about it, you're in the wrong.
