So I'm playing an actor sim, something I haven't done since the GF pack came out so I'm a bit fuzzy on the specifics of gameplay. Can a sim actually become wealthy being an actor? He's at level 7 and a 3-star celebrity and making decent money per gig, but definitely not bringing home enough simoleans to be Judith Ward's neighbor anytime soon since this was a poor to rich type of game play. Is this an attainable mission to have my sim earn enough money to purchase a house before they become an elder on actor career alone? (his age span is 40 days for young adult and adult. He's halfway through young adult currently) He's living in a studio apartment right now in San Myshuno. Not really celebrity living. haha.

My Sim just hit level 10 and is pulling a bit over $26,000 per gig. She's about a week out from being an adult but spent her first 5 weeks getting accepted and going to college. It's definitely doable.

Do you have a mod or is my sim doing something wrong? You have to take advantage of the perks and rewards traits, etc. if you want your sim to make a ton of money.

I was thinking fame level, not acting level.She has just reached level 10 Acting. I do not use any mods but made a discovery this week that has made her earnings skyrocket! Pay close attention to your prep tasks. Notice the little icon next to each task. When doing your activities within the gig you'll notice those same little icons are used for the option to do a "Risky" activity. Do Risky for the actions you have completed the prep task for and Safe for the ones you haven't. You still won't succeed every time but I have been getting Gold level pay every time since this discovery.Also, when selecting your Fame Perks, start with Noticeable and take that all the way to the top. This doubles your earnings.

It just allows you to re-pick how you use your points.

Even though I wasn’t the one who made this discussion, the tips here have helped a lot since I just got Get Famous around 3 or 4 days ago.

My sim gets around 19000 per gig, but only as she has the easy street perk. Before that she would get about 6000 per gig as a level 4 celebrity.

Wow. My Sim has been level 10 for a long time and he's only earned about 8000-9000 at most per gig.
