Mooch your way to the top! There are all kinds of ways to make money in this version of the sims. I love playing the Sims 4 Room Challenge & live off the land type challenges and thought: "H...

This Challenge is just about to make me cry. :( I have never, ever had as much (technical) difficulty with a Challenge as I have with this one. I should be done by now, but at every turn, the game dumps a truckload of plum on me. Wahhhh.
This morning, Minnie had a nice, cushiony bank of 377,000, more than enough to start building her castle and have a bit leftover. But the game said Nooooooo! Every time she tried to teleport home, CRASH. On the couple of times she did make it home safely, the first save on the lot = CRASH. Back to square one. This is how the whole morning and afternoon went. Restart after restart after restart.
After several of these awful fits and starts, I was able to help Minnie construct a decent home. But, because it had taken literally all (RL) day, by the time the home was mostly to my liking, depreciation had set in big time. I wasn't aware that depreciation could happen while in construction mode :(. It probably happened during the times I switched back to Live mode to check on what else was needed. Soooo, Minnie's 377,000 bank ended up building a house that was worth only 302,000 and Minnie with only 15,000 left in cash. /sigh
Minnie needed more money. And here's where I goofed on the rules for the Challenge. I let her Tell Jokes at the mike to raise Social, then I let her make some eggs (Hunger was crimson). After that, she took a shower and went to bed. I saved and (holy cow) didn't crash.
That's when I realized Minnie had, in essence, broken the most basic rule of the Challenge :(. She lived in the home for nearly 24 game-hours. And I can't fix that because, this time, the save actually worked (/rolleyes of all the times to NOT crash).
Realizing my mistake, I figured the best I could do is to have her run back to the Landgraab's and finish up her money-making activities there. I assume she'll need to earn at least another 50-60,000 :# to hit the 350,000 and cover any depreciation. Sadly, when she picked up the phone to travel...
Well, you can guess what happened.
/sigh I feel like I'm never gonna finish this Challenge :).
