Does Bess ever start her business?

Yeah, I only donated once, then she called back to say it paid off and she wanted to give me a share of the profits and I got 25,000 simoleons.

Yea I got some 9000 return for 1000 investment.

I have given her $1,000 on two different phone calls so far. Nothing yet. I made my sims become good friends with her so I imagine when they hang out and chat it's about the business. So it makes more sense than a random stranger asking another random stranger for money.

Hmm. I gave only $10 each time and she'd call and say it didn't work out.

The same for me, but my sim had given her $2,000. She said it didn't work out, better luck next time. Let's say from now on out Bess (in all future game saves) WON'T be getting any money from my sims.

When does Bess tell you that it doesn't work out? Is it a random call or do you have the option to ask? I still haven't heard from her after the $2,000 my sim gave her.

It was a random phone call from her.

I ended up giving Bess 5k, and decided enough was enough and called her out for not paying it back. She acted all innocent and pretended she had forgotten. I really couldn't afford to keep throwing money away like that, my sim had around 1200 left herself. She was already dumpster diving and fabricating all day to make ends meet.

Not talked to Bess since, either. She won't call again, I suppose....too bad, my sims have done well, and are looking for investments.

I hope to get this call soon. I’m always desperate for ways to spend Simoleons!!!

Pretty sure Bess is finessing people out of their money most of the time.

When it doesn't work out oh well it wasn't her money. :#
