Doing the millionaire scenario
Just for the heck of it, and because I seem to be out of fresh ideas at the moment, I'm trying the millionaire scenario. I always build my own houses, so I started with a pre-made house so that when ...

My standard rags-to-riches strategy is crafting and selling camping mascot statues. For extra challenge I started my Sim on a completely empty lot, furnished by the end of day 1 (from finding and selling collectibles) with a tent, cooler, and shower (a nearby bush served as a toilet).
She earned $200,000 (finishing the money aspiration) by halfway through young adulthood, but getting to a million will take more time, and crafting endlessly is boring (to me, the player). So I have been focusing on earning enough aspiration points to plant money trees. I could join the Scientist career to get the duplicator for the money tree seeds (a strategy I used in another playthrough) but since this isn't a speed run, I don't think I'll go that route. (I don't use cheats or exploits.)
Just completed the scenario inn 36 Sim days. Money trees didn't grow during freezing weather so I made some additional money finding artifacts in Selvadora and selling them at 2x markup. Began selling campaign mascot statues at 2x markup as well as I got toward the end.
I think the reward was 5000 aspiration points. Very underwhelming. For the amount of work this took I'd prefer an exclusive item. Not likely to do this again.
Decided to do the millionaire scenario another time after all, just to see if I could do it faster. Again started with a completely empty lot, focused on crafting camping mascot statues, painting, and money trees. Interest earned from completing the money aspiration helped too (final week's payout was $45K). Finished in 27 days, nine days faster than first attempt.
