How much money were your sims making a sim week, and how many sim weeks before you reached Baron??

Sorry it took me so long to respond -- I meant to answer earlier and things slipped my mind.

When she was in full stride with publishing, Minnie was pulling in royalties of 5-6000 per day. Had she continued writing, I imagine that rate would have held steady. By the time she finished the Challenge, however, she hadn't written for several weeks and her royalties dropped to about 2,000.

Her paintings were what really sustained her. She painted smalls almost exclusively because she could whip several out per day, even while still managing all her bio-needs. For the majority of the Challenge, I used no bio-rewards. No Steel Bladder, no Hardly Hungry, no whatever it is that makes Sims not sleep.

I didn't keep many earnings records, except in the last 3 days, when she was rushing to make up her deficit. Her house was only worth 302,000 and bills were coming due -- she wanted to complete the Challenge before the lights were turned off. At that point, I did break down and allow her to use Steel Bladder (we were desperate!). During that final stretch, she painted 21 smalls, including 5 Masterpieces. Total value for all 21 = a little over 40,000.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info, Phillip just makes over $1400 something a day with royalties.
I've got him back at the goths house for some much needed rest and painting. did you ever mooch of the poor families??

Minnie spent her first several days mooching off a group of roommates. Nice folks, very generous. Sadly, their modest home was stretched to the limit with just the three of them. One bathroom, one computer. Minnie felt really bad asking them to share. She tried to compensate by keeping the refrigerator stocked with freshly made group meals.

Still, she had to keep her own goals in mind, so off she went in search of juicier digs. Enter the Landgraabs.

Interestingly enough, the roommates had 3 bedrooms in a small, single story house. The rich and ritzy Landgraab's have only 2 bedrooms in an expansive, 3-story mansion. Rich folks. Bah.
