Do you think the devs should find better ways to spend simoleons in game?

A Casino would be nice, blow all your money gambling and loose it all. :D

Child support for sims not living in the home. I use MCCC to accomplish this.

I invited a sim to the spa but realize I couldn't pay for them to get service. Then I went to the carnival and couldn't buy them no food or drinks. Just being able to buy for other sims would give you more ways to spend money.

I'd personally like it if CAS items cost simoleons, especially the more expensive looking stuff. Would be even better if clothing started to wear out over time.

How about if it becomes like real life where Sims can't watch TV or play video games without all sorts of monthly access fees that drain their bank account like a thousand tiny leaks sinking a ship? No more free fun. Everything is now streaming and subscription-based and nothing is owned outright anymore. Gotta pay up every time q sim wants to watch a movie at home or hop on that pc for gaming. Or console either.

More bills might help, but I think there are a lot more encouraging ways to make you want to earn the simoleons and also have simoleon goals for lifestyle needs (outings with friends, special amenities, items with extra special life enhancing features, etc.). A more realistic approach like being sued for beating a sim up, hiring a lawyer, going to active court or even getting locked up and having to pay for bail or legal representation to get your life together would all be great ways to make simoleons more important in your sim story.

Now I agree that outfits should cost stuff. It would offer a great opportunity to do quite a bit! You could donate clothing you don't want, play a phoney rich person or poor person, vampires could have ancient hand-me-downs... but what if the spellcasters could enchant their heirlooms with special powers for the next generation?

Also, the jewelry! If it cost something, we may just have thieves trying to break in to snatch the expensive pieces.

They should add a Theme Park EP where our Sims can spend their money.

Only if there's an option to own and run said park :)

Ew, no thanks.

I wish there was a way to initially tell the game to give the newly created active households how much money they start out with, without cheats. Say you want to be poor, start off with a few thousand, standard is usual amount, rich would be, like, motherlode or something.
