Creative Ways to Make Money!

With high charisma you can ask for a Big Loan... you don't have to pay it back. I've had sims go on dates, earn a gold reward and sell it for 650 I think. I've done that move in with a townie bit lots of times. Mostly now i have some plants with high sellable outputs planted in areas accessible to any Sim, and Sims can harvest the birds of paradise flowers or globe fruits or whatever, take them home and plant them in a home garden for a jumpstart in a lucrative growing season. I'm a socialist at heart I guess o:)

Cool! Did you get your sims to add to family the Grim Reaper so she can marry him. :D

I unfortunately got bored with that save very quickly, so I never got to that point. I meant for it to be a starcrossed lovers sort of thing; so she would only be able to see him whenever she killed somebody.

Not sure if it's really that creative, but I've never seen someone mention it, so...
I rolled the Education career for my Sim; however, I'm not letting her start working in that field until she has an Economics degree.
So up until now, she could only earn money by working part-time in retail and selling the honey she collects from her bee box...
Until I finally tried the "Collect Swarm" option and noticed I could send it to fetch gifts. So I tried that immediately, and now I just sell whatever the bees bring. I was lucky enough to get some seed packets once; used them immediately to start a garden. Hope that will keep her afloat until she can start working her dream job, haha.

@PsychoSimXX I have never ever tried out DJing, I'm gonna have to give that a go! I didn't even know it brought tips, I thought it was more of a hobby thing.

@"Inna Minnit" where is the best place to set up the yard sale please? I have a sim who wants to own a bakery but cannot yet afford it, she makes loads of baked goods and this would be perfect for her!

@TheGoodOldGamer thank you for this thread, there are some fab ideas here that I have never tried!

This isn't that creative, but I have to mention it anyway. Yesterday my sims was selling selvadoradan artifacts on the street sale table and he got 27k from one gold frog! I had the prices marked up to 200% (300% is the max).

I best I came across so far is insurance fraud. If you are a spell caster, you can burn an expensive item then you get an insurance payout. Then you use repairo to fix it.

I do this all the time :lol: its definitely one of the best ways!

When you get level 7 and then 9 in Charisma skill you can ask for loans and get big chunks of money 500-2000!

Without having to pay that sim back ?
