So i moved my sim into the hanamigawa house in snowy escape and my teen cant afford the first lot of bills lol, she has the lifeguard part-time job but its still not enough to cover it lol, i have to sell something unless i cheat which ive never had to do before, guess its gonna have to be the spare bed as it never gets used still its a lil sad :(

Don't cheat. Just play to the best of your ability. It's really easy to get money even without a job. Some of my most entertaining game sessions were with sims who were broke.

painting or stealing other sims paintings off community lots as emergency solution ;)or selling some collectiblesI have this family that has bills of 14,000 in lot taxesI just have one actor one teacher and one writer to make that cash money and I have yet to run outthough actor do be getting mad wage for the few gigs he doesI just refuse to give away their stuff :lol:

Yes, Humor & Hijinks is a good solution. Whichever side my sims choose wins, because I put some effort into telling jokes or playing pranks. Winning as a joker also gets you some fireworks and a microphone, which can be sold. I think the fireworks are worth around 340 and the microphone is worth around 150.I have one Sim living in the Hanamigawa starter house. She's still on her first week but it looks like her bills will be around 800, with lights at the default setting, which looks like All Lights On. The current values from the mailbox are: Lot Taxes: -332 Power: -389 Water: -10 Other Taxes: 0 Tax Breaks & Penalties: 0 Total: 731I can understand how that might be a bit difficult for a single Teen as head of household. You should look into other ways of earning money if the Lifeguard job isn't paying enough. @Simmingal already suggested some but here's some other ideas. Build up your programming skill and win the Hackathon at the GeekCon. First prize is a computer worth about 3000. Hacking Build up you video gaming skill and win the Ultimate Gaming Test. The prize is a Future Cube worth about 300 and you can repeat the test to win more of them. Ask another teen for a date. The prize for a gold-level date is a VIP bucket worth 645.

Buy a dragon plant seed from a retail store. And plant it in the house. ( you can find them on the gallery). That’s what my gypsies did. They would have to go around the worlds picking fruit, and the husband and teenage son would fish and sell them, still was having a problem paying bills, planting one dragon fruit plant inside helped a lot, unless they have changed the amount you can make from them, I haven’t played them lately. Plopsy and nifty knitting, or painting might work too. Oh, and the handyman table. I’m going to put a dumpster on their property ( from echo living) and see how that does too. Breading and selling frogs can help some, if you can get a couple good frogs to breed. Also anything you can dig up, posters and globes from city living. Beach combing from the island pack, DJing in a club at night or playing an instrument in a park or somewhere. . Or you could make them suffer off the grid.

Honestly, the easiest way to make money consistently without cheating, (but does get boring) is to spam make paintings or take zillions of photos and sell them.

They should add a Beg option or a Start Fundraiser option. If it were an M game I’d say add a Prostitution option. Lol

That's entirely possible with mods, for those who want to go that route :D

I'd go with painting or the Eco living dumpster. With any luck, you can find some really expensive stuff in there, once I got a 14k Scmapple fridge.

I don’t consider motherlode cheating. After all, when a sim decides to go out on their own, they probably wouldn’t do so without being prepared. Give them something to represent their allowance or in the case of a new family, representing their “past” savings.

There kinda is a prostitution and begging option. A standard non-Lovestruck date going gold rewards you with a VIP bucket that sells out of household inventory for §645, and all you have to do are ten social interactions with about half of them falling into the other category? I can do that in about an hour and a half sim-wise, two tops. If you get your sim out and dating back to back (and who cares if it's with the same person), you'll be making around 300-400 an hour just selling the VIP Buckets when you get home. You can't beat that with a rabbithole chance card!
