- with sims on the breadline and especially on some careers on the first 3 ranks, the job is paid in peanuts. Painting pictures is actually a lot more profitable after the first few levels, so i tend to skip careers and go for painting after gaining a few ranks from San Myshuno museum because of the wall painting. when i've made a little money i switch over to achievement hunting for 5k reward points for a money tree and then the difficulty goes from fairly easy to non-existent.
It takes a while in the careers to get something out of it, even if you had a top end (rank 10) career, your sim is famous with easy street (with double the money per/hour) it still wouldn't be enough. Gardening only works for some types of plants, but good early reliable moneymakers are snapdragons but after a short while, you'll find yourself putting down a lot of planters just to make a few thousand a harvest from the snapdragons.
The money tree is the issue, especially the well known exploit that has still not been removed, that removes any difficulty after the first money tree. I wouldn't mind if the money tree was removed from the game altogether.
That stated, i do have MCCC and the console so using that or the console can give me immediate money as well. i tend to avoid using them because if i start a new save and my sim already has millions, the challenge of getting there is lost and there is not lot to hold my interest working up to that point. - DarkLady2788Rising NewcomerMy sims are actors so I think they are paid what real actors get paid now a days ?
- crocobauraSeasoned AceI usually give them motherlode when starting out, because 20 000 simoleons isn't enough for a decent looking house. After that they don't really spend much except for hobby items, vacations, bars and restaurants, etc. and they earn just about enough to pay their bills.
- PhantasmKissNew SpectatorThey start off underpaid, and end up being overpaid.
Someone who's at level seven of their career should be able to afford more than a starter home. They're fully adult, they've got three kids, and they can't afford to move out of their original cramped two-bedroom one bath? Then suddenly when they hit level 10, there's so much money you can't spend it fast enough. Donate to every charity, replace all the toilets with more expensive toilets, go out just for the sake of buying food off a food stall, throw parties like they're going out of style.
Why? - IsharellNew SpectatorWhen they start out they have to scramble, which can be fun if you are in the mood for it. But once they get way up in the career they make a ridiculous amount of money. I had one sim who was a Double Diamond Agent, and she was making over 1500 a day (or was it 2500? I can't remember, but it was a crazy amount). Ok, she only worked 3 or 4 days a week and those were 15 hour days, but, dang! She kept getting raises too, and pretty soon she was getting an additional 200 per day and climbing when I accidentally wiped that game file (unrecoverable, though I did try several times). It was fun at first, because I got to upgrade a lot of stuff in the house, but after a while it got really ridiculous.

My Sim has currently hit the 15th raise of the Civil engineer career and earns over 700 simeleons per hour, as workaholic and being ambitious he has almost everytime a raise after one of his 4 workdays in a week. I think he is overpaid, but luckily his family (9 children) is big enough, so when it's time to move out for the children, his wealth will be reduced very fast again.
Do you have some kind of mod that will increase the household size?
In The Sims 1/2/3, the household size is maxed out at 8. In The Sims 4, I believe it's maxed out at 6?- Laitha was rich and that money was passed through 4 generations. The remaining 3, I just used my 9.9 mil cheat.
- My playstyle is very career-focused, so my sims always end up with way too much money and nothing to spend it on. I ended up using MCCC to increase all bills so I can still have somewhat of a challenge.
- DaraviNew Traveler@waterywatermelon Yes, I have used mccc to increase the householdsize for storyreasons in my decade challenge. Normal size is 8 sims but I had increase to 12 sims in one household in several steps until I've reached the specific year 1961, where I've changed it back to 8. Unless you make the mistake and go in cas on the normal way, your sims will stay there, even when the numbers are lower. The next problem is when a sim should move out, then the game only accept 8 sims, but as I said, it was for the story, so I deal with it with pleasure. :)
- @Daravi In your Decades Challenge, do you have any young Sims that you have to kill off because they have some kind of disease or serious health condition? Or do you assume that all the kids are born healthy and reach adulthood?
