Simoleons are UGLY. Is there a mod that turns them green, like actual money? [[User:Hurshbr|Me!]]-[[User talk:Hurshbr|Bwahaha!]] 22:05, August 5, 2013 (UTC)Hurshbr
:Mind you, bills are not exactly green. There are several default replacements in MTS, but ''The Sims 2'' only.

== adding Simoleon symbol ==
how do i add a Simoleon symbol?[[Special:Contributions/171.25.193.131|171.25.193.131]] ([[User talk:171.25.193.131|talk]]) 00:16, February 2, 2014 (UTC)
: Easy. All you have to do is switch to Source mode, and at the top, you should see a button labelled more+. Once there, find a Simoleon symbol and click on it. Your done! [[User:Joey.eyeball|Joey.eyeball]] ([[User talk:Joey.eyeball|talk]]) 00:23, February 2, 2014 (UTC)
:: Like this → § . Also, that should be "You're done", not "Your done". Things like that drive me nuts. '''[[:User:K6ka|K6ka]]''' ([[:User talk:K6ka|talk]] | [[:Special:Contributions/K6ka|contribs]]) 00:37, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

::::::::Different things work for different people. Alt+2+1 probably works on most computers running Windows (assuming there is a number pad on your keyboard and num lock is turned on). If nothing else, you can google 'section symbol' and just copy/paste the symbol as needed. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 02:41, February 2, 2014 (UTC)
:::::::::Assuming you're using laptop keyboard, you can't use the regular Num Pad just under the F1 - F12 buttons. You should enable the Num Lock and press the Num Pad that's usually in J, K, L, U, I, O, 7, 8, 9, and M keys.

== Real-life equivalent ==
I think I have found a real-life equivalent to the Simoleon: the Japanese yen (¥). 100 ¥ is equivalent to 1 £/$ (Pounds/Dollars), and from what I have seen, 1,000 § (Simoleons) is equivalent to 100 £/$, which would logically mean 100 § I equivalent to 1 £/$, therefore meaning ¥ and § would be the same value in pounds/dollars. I'm not sure if it was intentional but it seems to be the case. [[User:Eagle flame369|Eagle flame369]] ([[User talk:Eagle flame369|talk]]) 16:37, October 12, 2015 (UTC)
:It's hard to draw a direct comparison between Simoleons and any real currency, because in-game prices are sometimes widely inflated for some goods and deflated for others. You can buy a decent house in the game for §20,000; that would be only $2000 following your formula, which is dramatically lower than the actual cost of a real-life house (which very often are priced in the hundreds of thousands of dollars). Simoleons are a constructed currency meant to operate within the "economic model" of The Sims; it won't translate easily into any real-world model. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LiR</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 16:47, October 12, 2015 (UTC)
:Yeah, but following the general consensus other than ridiculous prices, the sensible prices indicate a formula similar to ¥. [[User:Eagle flame369|Eagle flame369]] ([[User talk:Eagle flame369|talk]]) 18:35, October 12, 2015 (UTC)
