TestingCheatsEnabled True, by itself, does absolutely nothing whatsoever to your game save. All it does is enable a bunch of cheat/debugging commands which are hidden by default. The idea that TCE breaks your game is pure urban legend :p
USING the commands it enables, of course, can damage your save, for sure
There's a REASON those commands are hidden by default, although in most cases that has to do with their being too cheaty rather than anything else. For instance, using EditInCAS to change an outfit/appearance is probably fine; using it to age a sim to an earlier age stage probably will break some gameplay behavior.
Still, in general the cheats it enables just do exactly what they say they do, and you can manually undo any damage you cause, so if you use them sensibly you are going to be fine. Personally, I just think of it as an interface extender that gives me more gameplay functionality

Must have been something else that caused that. Beware the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy
