My Sim had around 60,000 simoleons last time I paid attention. Her boyfriend moved in, bringing the usual $20,000 with him, but that's been her only income that I know of recently. She doesn't have a job outside of taking care of her chickens and a small garden. She harvests all the produce and eggs and doesn't sell any. She hasn't played the lottery or gotten any of those money phone calls. I was playing and glanced over at her household funds... then did a double take. Then looked through my notifications to see if I'd missed something. I have no clue where it came from, but my Sim suddenly has 9,958,752 simoleons. Has anyone else ever had anything like this happen?

Max winnings from the lottery is only a million, I'm pretty sure and even with the bonus from the Advanced technology skill that maxes it out at 3 million, so I don't think that's it. Besides, she said she hasn't played the lottery.This looks more like a cheat-gone-wrong, being how close that number is to the cap (assuming the cap is still 9,999,999...I haven't had a sim reach that in years). Maybe a mod gone wrong?

Wow what if there is a new bug where a rabbit gives a Sim like orange wool and also millions of simoleons hahaha I'm gonna visit the rabbits in my game, I can't finish that millionaire scenario for the life of me, takes forever, I need this cash bunny bug

Maybe something tried to pull about 100,000 from her account (which you said had about 60,000) and since the account can't have a negative value it glitched by "wrapping around" the max possible value (9,999,999) and down to 9,958,752.Just one of my more wild guesses.

One of the reasons why is because you can unlock a reward trait which is pretty broken where your sims will get random money from "investments". And those investments could be loads of money like 150k and that also happens even when you are not playing them. Maybe that's what happened?The amount given from investments (the "Shrewd" trait) isn't random; it's a flat 5% of current household funds at the moment the weekly reward kicks in. Thing is, that can add up real fast if you've got a married couple and a house where they have every high-quality object they'll ever need and no longer need to spend money. Even more so if they have the Frugal trait and/or some "Bill Discount Item" stuff (eco-friendly walls and flooring, clean energy machines if the relevant NAP from Eco-Living is installed) keeping them from paying much in bills. I've never run up against the cap, but I've hit 5 million on one of my rotation's oldest households.

It was an old household which I think had about a million, so that means that they got 50k every week and then even more every week as I was playing other households.

She hasn't played the lottery recently. I've never had a Sim win when they did play, but it isn't that much is it?

I tried googling the issue, but didn't find anything quite like this. I don't have mods. I didn't cheat to give her money. She has accepted gifts from rabbits recently, but it was just a book and some orange wool, nothing worth millions of dollars.

I have a matriarch Sim in another world who has 1.5 million in cash and another half million in lot value. But I've been playing her for over two years.
I played that scenario myself a few weeks ago with another Sim and ended up cheating after I got about half way there the slow way. I got bored. Yeah, it's easy to make money in the game, but it gets boring if that's all you are doing.

She doesn't have the trait that gives you investment returns (and neither does her boyfriend), I didn't use that money cheat or any money cheats, or any cheats at all. I only have two mods not in any way related to money (one to remove the censor mosaic and one to stop the sunrays on green lots). I don't have any CC.

My matriarch has the trait for investment returns and they can be ridiculously large, sometimes in the thousands. But I've never had one above 50,000 that I can remember.

This wasn't caused by any of the things I would initially think of if it were someone else asking, any of the things suggested. It's not even possible one of my kids did it. It is totally out of nowhere as far as I can tell. I noticed she had around 60 thousand and then when I looked again it was over 9 million.

Maybe it's what Elliandre suggested. Maybe my orange wool bunny gift was bugged and I got money?

Maybe something tried to pull about 100,000 from her account (which you said had about 60,000) and since the account can't have a negative value it glitched by "wrapping around" the max possible value (9,999,999) and down to 9,958,752.

Just one of my more wild guesses.

It's as good a guess as any. I don't know what it would have been (her bills are around 5,000 simoleons), but this game has weird glitches sometimes.
