The Simoleon (§) is the unit of currency used in The Sims series, as well as other game series produced by Maxis, such as the SimCity series. It is assumed to be the national currency of SimNation. It is revealed in The Sims 2 that simoleons are red, orange and white.
The value of simoleons varies between titles, and doesn't consistently reflect any real-life currency. Some cheaper objects, including food, appear to be much more expensive than real-life examples, while expensive objects and houses are often much less expensive than their counterparts in reality. Generally, better-quality items are higher priced, as is often true in real life.
Simoleons are primarily used to purchase objects, build or remodel a house, pay bills, and buy food for Sims. They are earned primarily through careers. However, simoleons can be obtained through many other ventures, or can be obtained through cheating.
