Depending on my sims' personality, I like using the kleptomaniac trait to burglarize the Goth's mansion but can only last as long as they have valuables.

I personally like writing more than painting, because it causes a steady influx of royalties and when the writer ends up maxing the writing skill the family gets access to the book of life! Useful in case of accidents!

Wait - what is the book of life?! Does it resurrect a sim? I've been an avid sims player for 15+ years and still learning new things every day lol!

If you achieve the Best-Selling Author aspiration, you develop the power to write the Book of Life. For each Book of Life, you can bind it to one sim (sort of like the voodoo doll). Once the Book of Life is bound to a sim, it has two special powers. If the bound sim is alive, reading their Book of Life will reset all of their motives to green (useful!). If the bound sim is dead, you can use the Book of Life to resurrect them. The Best-Selling Author aspiration is one of my most used for this reason.

Wow never knew this! Thank you!

In the past I played most houses for just 1 day per stop on rotation, so income was rarely my main focus. Only the bills needed to be paid, I rarely bought a lot of new stuff either. If storytelling required it, I might make us a reason why they suddenly got some cheat money, LOL.

In general I try to spread my sims on most careers and also have most freelance/from home jobs covered. Painting is always a rescue, but also digging up stuff and dumpster diving might easily raise some quick funds especially if multiple household members can help.

Is this involve the Magic pack, or just plain base game Writers?

doing a regular job where your sims leaves house for 5 hours is not only bad gameplay but earns little simoleons, gardening is probably the way to get rich fastest, i like gardening, painting, and if you a writer you can name you books.

I use mods and my Sim is a Rock Star. He became a Global Superstar while a Teen. He's been earning all kinds of Simoleons ever since. Royalties on songs he writes, which vary. If it's up for Best Song, the royalties grow. Albums give a cool 750 Simoleons per album. He now has 21 released. A concert done well, reaps 10000 as does each photoshoot for a magazine. He does one of each, daily. It's highly lucrative and he and his sweet wife are living very nicely in HoB.
