:::::::::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)
