- Depends on the sim and also who gets to define everything from underpaid to overpaid.
- Their income has always been a bit excessive... lol I mean, I know it's just a game, but I kinda wish the incomes would be a bit more realistic... then again, the fact that almost every job in the game is far from a "normal" job most people would typically have in real life, is probably also a factor in this.
I like that we actually have part time jobs to choose from as well, unlike previous games (Sims 3 was the first to introduce this). In Sims 2, I recall teen Sims being able to get them, but it was always exclusive to teens. - Depends on the household, but since most of my sims freelance or craft, I feel I have more overpaid sims in general.
Sometimes money doesn't matter: My current household of prison workers technically makes a lot, but it goes into a different account, they cannot use that money. Expeditions to Selvadorada or Strangerville can expect motherlode on demand if they are government/university/corporate funded. So I have a bit of everything. - lol... I always feel like my Sims are underpaid.
My CAS Sims will buy the house and have a bit of money left over for stuff. Then, they may get Buy wants, and I usually fulfill them because they are easy points. The downside is that, well, it lowers the bank balance. - Mostly they're all over paid. I used MCCC to higher bills by 50% because of this.
- My sims are super wealthy.
- I guess I should have picked Other. I am just glad that they're able to afford their lives and live their little sim dreams without much worry. No sim has to become a tech guru or a businessperson just to survive when they're clearly more suited to being a freelance photographer or an artist.
- I just wanted to vote this option. Actually, I have all different salary ranges and socio-economic brackets. I use cheats to set up certain households but do so less often now. I'll use them if there's a glitch in the game for some reason and for specific wealthy households. Most sims live on what they earn but I've used Kaching for minor adjustments.
I'm just adding that I wish there were a Motherlode button in life. Hehe. - Typically my sims are well off but lately I've been playing sim families who honestly cannot afford the houses/apartments they're living in because I keep making renovations - or just plop them in an expensive home off the gallery. When a sim gets home from work and I see how much they made that day I find myself saying "That's it?!"
Aside from home renovations my sims have probably been taking too many vacations. Yeah, their lack of funds is totally my fault. :lol: - Maybe they are overpaid, maybe it is the ridiculously low bills.
