Open the cheat bar again and enter money 0 and hit enter again, this will take away all of your money. When you are completing a mandatory step and you have to pay money before you can complete it use this step. For example: you have $1075 and you need to pay $500 for blueprints use the cheat and set your money to $575 and you have no bought your blue print.
Making Money
The options listed below seem to be what people think are the best ways to make money without having a career.
• Gardening (You can’t use seeds on your own lot but there are plenty of places around town that you can harvest plans from.)
• Painting (Find a lot with an easel and begin painting. If you can’t find an easel around town anywhere I suggest placing one in the park or on another public lot.)
• Writing (The library has full access to computers.)
• Programing (I’m not sure if you can do this on a public lot but if you are not allowed to, this would be a good way to make money once you have a home but no job yet.)
• Comedy (People say that this isn’t the fastest way to make money but it might help with this challenge. The nightclub has a mic stand that you can use.)
• Musical Instruments (You can make tips by playing the instruments provided for you in town or buy your own once you have built your starter home.)
• Collecting (When I started this challenge myself collecting was a major factor for me in the beginning. I sold the items I found and made some pretty good money off of it.)
• Video Gaming (Isn’t the most profitable earning system but you can still make some money off of playing games.)

Started this yesterday!
- 9 months ago@simishgamer I'm about a week in! I've been doing the video game part-time job with decent success so far and just finishing his first (in game) week of Uni!
My only question, I'm trying to get him married and slowly accumulating the items needed to go for it. But what is "one of each comfort and entertainment objects"? I assumed it was one dining chair, one desk chair, a couch, a loveseat, and of course a double bed, for 'Comfort', but there isn't an 'Entertainment' section like there is for comfort. I was thinking the section with the TVs, Computers, and Stereos was the 'Entertainment" section but it's just 'Electronics'.
Any insight? - Ambi219962 months agoSeasoned Novice

I’m confused. Are we allowed to sell paintings and cross stitch things to make money before having a job or no??
- Anriella_Venn29 days agoNew Novice
Mildly confused. You're to be in the career path to make money from things like painting and programming etc, yet you can still make money off them publicly before you get a job? Did I uust misinterpret that, or how does that work
