i love those early years of a new start's life

the struggling, being broke, starting a new job, any job, your sim just wants money. i really love those early struggle years. who else?

My sim paints as her profession and writes books every few days. Her husband is a musician. Well, he's a level 4 in the Music career, I think. Three or four. Since one of them had enough points for Inheritance, I gave it to them and now they have just over $25,000(they got $32,000-something, but I bought Liam a very expensive- and fast- car, and a bike for when Mason starts school.)

With "Fast Lane", there's always the speed 10 Jamboree for a fraction of the price. The tooltip says speed 6, but that's wrong.

It's been a while and my sims still have a hard time getting enough simoleons! One daycare, one architect, one singer - plus selling wildflowers, paintings (if i get ones i don't like), inventions, gifts, salvaged stuff.

I like starting out that way and then building it up to where they can have and do anything, Where I play the A-Z Generation, Sometimes when I am tired of the luxury living, I start the next Generation poor, deleting their money and saying they lost their house and the new young family will start again poor. And sometimes move to a new town even. It just breaks it up a little. I change around like that but not the family generation, it keeps going, rich, poor, sometimes castaway, sometime in the future, living poor in a cabin in the woods, living on a nice or not so nice houseboat. Farm Life, living in a lighthouse, or living in space like Lunar Lakes, Even having a Alien baby. Many ways to change each generation and they continue. I guess its however I feel at the time the new generation comes along and the parents have past, the new generation begins a new life.

I can't say I enjoy the struggle as much as I enjoy exploring and not worrying about a lot of Stuff and Sims back at home.
In TS3 it's more enjoyable for me to play a single Sim out doing things and then sleeping at a friends or a hidden bed somewhere then it is to raise a family of 8.
It used to be fun seeing how many generations I can get to but not so much any more. :)
It doesn't seem like a struggle when the food is free and the beds are plentiful.

i forgot food was free in base game
i use the no fridge shopping mod thing where you have to buy and stock food
