Help Judith Ward

I play rotationally, and it's been a while since I checked global star and actress Judith Ward. In my game she was married 3 times, but lives alone in that huge The Pinnacles mansion of hers. There is a butler, a maid, and occasionally she hires a male bartender to keep her company. But I never thought about her finances...?

I just returned to her house, and voila - the cash balance is §0 !!! I didn't even dare to check if there are bills in her mail box.

Question to you: How can Judith Ward make some money in a hurry? I mean, collecting a gem worth §125 is not really matching her standards. What options are there?

Her fame is still 5 stars, even if I never sent her to a gig. And she doesn't even own a computer to work those social medias. As I hardly played her, she didn't use her phone a lot either, and I doubt there can be that many followers. But if she builds followers in a hurry, I mean, it would be quite realistic that she has a good number of them - can she make quick money from social media without becoming a media publisher or trend setter etc? But based on her fame alone?

I had her sign up for a gig but she hardly has skills, lol - I'll make her take a job that she isn't really qualifying for. Can't wait to see her fail, LOL. But it would of course be wiser money wise to let her make some success...

Any suggestions?

And how can her cash balance drop to §0 while she is not played? I thought cash was hardly changing while household is not active.

    LOL - I checked her followers... after adding to simstagram story, she now has 24 followers, total. Ha ha. Poor thing!

    Added: Is it the butler service that is draining her cash balance even when not being played? There was just a notice from the butler that the service had not been paid in full, so §18.983 has been added to Judith's bills this week!!! Ouch! I had no idea butlers is such a bad idea when playing rotationally! :open_mouth:

    Well you could collect and sell items, paint and sell the paintings...between gigs you can do “odd jobs” via phone. Also you can constantly have her update her social media with her phone to gain followers....she can dabble in some photography and upload the pics and then sell those.

    She has good acting skills, but the most tempting gigs suggested fitness=7 or charisma=7, and EA obviously did not even give this global star a high charisma skill.

    Thanks, but I don't think it suits a global star to run about collecting stuff to sell... it would be fine with a newcomer though, but not Judith Ward :) I'll have her work her followers, but not sure she will make lots of money from it. Hopefully there are some options that unlock on the 5 star level. I never had my sims get this famous.


    Even exclusive hard working actors have to take time out to do something to help themselves, even if it does seem below their standard from your point of view.

    if you got empty planters, start gathering snapdragons from the local area and start planting. you'll be able to help pay off that debt over the week when the plants start flowering like crazy on certain days.

    start writing books and make a little extra that way as well. get your handiness skills up and start creating furniture and sculptures.

    If you combine the writing and planting efforts in tandem, you are likely to write off that debt fairly quickly over the week, but to make the most out of writing you need to write quite a few books to get much out of it.

    if those don't appeal and you got selling value on certain household items like paint works, curtains and the like, you can sell some of those off until you can recover enough to buy them back again at another point.

    She could plant a money tree, gotten in reward points, it gives out 8k and more if it's evolved enough that's per day, def sounds like something she could have and not really have to work for, just make sure she's home at the time it blooms so you can have it grow quickly to begin producing money


    i was thinking along those lines as well, but i deciided against suggesting it after snapdragons because the tree would take too long to develop and to produce the required amount and you need 5,000 reward points to get it and that wouldn't be possible inside a weeks in game time, that is unless you cheat to do it.

    Yea, I think the money tree would be a great match! But as I hardly played her in the past, she has only a few reward points. Bills are due in 24 hrs...

    Where can she find Snapdragons? I thought they had to be splined, never thought they exist ready to be picked. It's Fall in my game, hopefully that won't be a problem? Anyway, she has a few gardening skills, so she will save it for later if they don't grow in Fall.

    And I love the writing book idea! Would be perfect for a global star like her to write her memoir ;) Even if the income will not be quick (she has no writing skills per se) she will definitely do this sometime in the future.


    Snapdragons are in bloom during Spring and Fall seasons, and they can be easily found in Willow Creek along the dead end road that contains Cabana Creek, Singleton Stream and the BFF household. they can also be found along another deadend road where the Pancakes household is as well. you have to be in that zone long enough to let the plants sprout their first flowers though, that could take a few game hours to do.

    I make her go to work in my game, as an actress of course, no common job. That mansion isn't going to pay for itself. :D

    Yea, that's the smart thing to do :) I do send other acting sims to gigs, and they do make a living, I just never played Judith Ward enough to really plan her everyday. I'm a bit surprised though that her fame is still on top. And today her reputation hit rock bottom as well, LOL. She's actually some interesting character :)
