Investments are another way your Sim will be able to earn money over the course of the game. It comprises of Partnerships and Ownership. Both of which will put big holes in your Sims wallet but, overtime, will pay for themselves.


You must invest in Partnership first before eligible for Ownership. So, Total Cost of Ownership includes both Cost of Partnership and Cost of Ownership.


Once you have partnered (Become a Partner) or become an owner (Buy out Property) a Partner's Deed or Owner's Deed will be moved into your Sims inventory.

Although you may own the building in which your Sim works the deed will have no effect on your Sim's career.

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.


Profits earned through investment become available at 9:00am each Monday and are not automatically paid.

They have to be collected from their respective locations hence traveling will be needed.

Strangely, even when you are the owner of a business you cannot use it's products or services for free.
