Investment: Difference between revisions

Once a Sim has partnered (Become a Partner) or become an owner (Buy outPurchase Property) a Partner's Deed or Owner's Deed will be moved into the Sims [[inventory]]. Upon installing the originalstock Sims 3(without patches), the deeds will be separate items in a Sim's inventory. In version 1.3, deeds will form a stack in the inventory, which will have a "Collect All" interaction. Deeds can be transferred between Sims of the same [[household|family]] at anytime (by dragging them out of a Sim's 'backpack' into another Sim), and are automatically transferred to a relative when a Sim dies. However, if a Sim moves out of the household while carrying the deed, the household loses the ownership or partnership of the house, but can be bought back for the original price.

In the updated ''The Sims 3''{{which}}, deeds are no longer used. Instead, when in Map View, establishments with a special sign symbolize ownership. Instead of establishments, Sims can also buy real estate like parks, gyms, etc. Sims can either enter a business establishment ([[rabbit hole]]) or visit the [[City Hall]] to buy any real estate, and can also easily buy both business and real estate through the internet[[computer]] or [[phone]]. The only lots that cannot be bought are [[residential lotslot]]s (possibly prior an update){{confirm}}, empty [[community lot]]s, lots with a [[city hall]], Citymilitary Hallbase, andpolice thestation, Policeand a Stationschool.

Sims must invest in Partnershippartnership first before they are eligible for Ownershipownership. So, Totaltotal Costcost of Ownershipownership includes both Costcost of Partnershippartnership and Costcost of Ownershipownership.

Money has to be collected from their respective locations, hence traveling will be needed. Locations like V.I.P. Loungeslounges, Divedive Barsbars, and other ''[[Late Night]]'' estates do not need to be open in the morning in order to collect the money, as the simSim only has to stand on the lot for a few in-game minutes.

A simSim can own an establishment where careers[[career]]s are available, yet it will have no effect on promotions/demotions. (E.G. Sims who own a certain establishment and is constantly missing work can still be fired.). Bosses will still be selected randomly based on the current workers (A simSim cannot have a housemate as a boss, but can have a relative from a different household.), but by owning an establishment, the simSim has the power to fire anyone at anyrimeanytime and can rename the building. Firing workers, however, is at the expense of the [[relationship]] between the owner and that employee, and can lead to a very low relationship. They cannot fire the owner (which would be themselves), or the last employee of a business. These establishments are referred to as Buildings by the property type in Real Estate management window.

The real estate system, introduced in [[The Sims 3/Patch 12|Patch 12]], allows Sims to use the computer or the phone to purchase communityany lotsproperty.
