Simoleon: Difference between revisions

There are several ways for Sims to receive a steady income. The usual way is to work in a [[career]] or profession{{Vgversion|TS3:A}} that gives the Sim a regular salary or stipend. Owning a [[business]]{{Vgversion|TS2:OFB}}{{Vgversion|TS4:GTW}} is another way to make money, though income from a business is not as steady as the income from a regular job, as the Sim does not get paid a salary.

Some Sims can make money through creative endeavors, such as [[painting]] or [[writing]]. In ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' and, ''[[The Sims 3]]''<ref>In ''The Sims 3'', Sims cannot play an instrument for tips unless they have at least level 5 [[instrument skill|skill]] with that instrument.</ref> and ''[[The Sims 4]]'' Sims can collect tips while playing an instrument. There are a number of [[Workbenches|crafts]] Sims can partake in, where the objects they create can be sold. In ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]'', Sims can set up street tables and galleries in order to sell their collectibles and paintings with the price being freely decided from 0% to 300%.

Sometimes money is just lying on the ground. Random phone calls may be able to net Sims a few extra Simoleons.{{Vgversion|TS}} [[Collecting (The Sims 3)|Collecting]] objects that are littered around the neighborhood could net a Sim some money. One Sim's trash is another Sim's Simoleons! Sims can [[rummage]] through garbage and occasionally find something worthy.{{Vgversion|TS3}} Sims in lots that have the "Penny Pixies" [[lot trait]] can find randomly money from the ground.{{Vgversion|TS4:CL}}

Money grows on trees. The [[money tree]] grows Simoleons. With some care Sims can "rake" in the cash. Money falls from the sky when Sims wish for wealth from the [[Genie]]{{Vgversion|TS2:FT}}{{Vgversion|TS3:ST}} or the [[Wishingwishing Wellwell]].{{Vgversion|TS2:S}}

Some Sims are born to steal. [[Kleptomaniac]]s can steal objects that they can then use, sell or give back to the original owner.{{Vgversion|TS3}}{{Vgversion|TS4}} Fraudulent Sims can try their hand at counterfeiting. [[Genuine Buck's Famous Counterfeiting Machine]] is an [[Aspiration reward (The Sims 2)|aspiration reward]] that allows a Sim to print bills.{{Vgversion|TS2:U}} [[Hacking]] is another great and fast way for Sims to gain massive amounts of money.{{Vgversion|TS3}}{{Vgversion|TS4}}
