What is the most your sim has gotten as a raise?

Hal Breckenridge is a wiretap reader and I got the pop-up that said he got a raise.. so I look and now apparently he makes 405 an hour?! I believe it was like 135 or something before, so this seems a little weird. Has anyone had this happen before?

  • There are certain career events that pop up from time to time in the rabbithole careers, that result in raises in between or just before promotions. The one Hal got in your game is for solving a cold case, which only comes at that career level, just before the promotion to the next level. It always results in a huge raise, whenever your sim is lucky enough to get it.

    Wow, I had no idea! Thank you!
  • This would be more along the lines of "The Silliest Raises Our Sims Have Gotten," but I once had a sim in a custom career that, by design, paid a negative wage for the first three levels or so. Meaning the sim was actually paying a few simoleons an hour for the privilege of working there. The benefits, such as they were, for being in that career came later on.

    And somewhere along the line at least a couple of times at the lower levels my hardworking always punctual sim got a wonderful announcement of a -§2 raise (sure, negative wages will kick up negative raises as it's done by percentages). Whoopdie-doo, happy days are here again. :/ :p
