Line 1:
'''Investments''' are another way Sims to earn [[money]] over the course of ''[[The Sims 3]]''. It is comprised of ''Partnerships'' and ''Ownership'' of community lots. Both of which will put big holes in a Sim's wallet but, overtime, will pay for themselves.
Once a Sim has partnered (Become a Partner) or become an owner (Buy out Property) a Partner's Deed or Owner's Deed will be moved into the Sims 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 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. In the updated ''The Sims 3'', deeds are no longer used, instead
Sims must invest in Partnership first before they are eligible for Ownership. So, Total Cost of Ownership includes both Cost of Partnership and Cost of Ownership.
Line 9:
Strangely, even when a Sim is the owner of a business they cannot use its products or services for free. (With the release of [[The Sims 3/Patch 6|Patch 6]], food and drink at owned restaurants are free). When a Sim is the owner of a business, the player may rename the business or fire employees. Firing workers, however, is at the expense of the relationship between the owner and that employee. They cannot fire the owner (which would be themselves), or the last employee of a business.
Also when a sim becomes owner of a business, if they are married or dating a sim that works at the venue some romantic options will be rejected. The receiving sim will also get a "creeped out" [[moodlet]] and the relationship will suffer
The real estate system, introduced in [[The Sims 3/Patch 12|Patch 12]], allows Sims to use the computer or the phone to purchase the whole community lot. The player can then upgrade it and with the upgrades receive more profits.
