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.

You are closer than I was with your answer! At the point David was his earning was doubling but after you reach 100,000 the no it doesn't double each week but does go up quite well.

At week 8 David's royalties are $4,894 a day and he paints $4-5,000 a day so it can add up pretty quickly. Each day he adds 1 book to that, well he does get 1 day off so I can say that he adds 5 to 6 books a week.

I am not keeping track of his earning either I just jot down what his funds are at the end of each week to see how it is building. Everything else the game keeps track of so it will be there for scoring at the end of the challenge! :)

Great Job Minnie! Oh and I like your Mansion also! Nice build! Will make a cozy home for Minnie! I Love the color and roofing.
David's will be the first home I be building in TS4 and will probably take me forever to build! :p
