How do I get sims to make investments?

I forget which one exactly but I know its a reward from one of the fortune/money-geared aspirations.
*Or pretty darn sure it is...

Thank you! That does make sense lol! My sim completed all them very fast and I forgot about that one. Thanks for the help

I thought you needed to be in a particular branch of the tech career to get the option to make investments. Not the video game one but the other one

I didn't get an option about these investments, she just made them herself but I can't rule that out either then... Honestly this sim has completed about half the careers too but I hadn't played her in awhile and I forget which ones were completed and not. I wish I could remember haha

I'm pretty sure it's the fabulously wealthy aspiration that generates the investments.

Sims in the investor branch of the business career can make investments, but it's the wealth aspiration that does it automatically. I believe the return is a percentage of the household funds, so the more money they have, the more money they'll get from the investments.

thank-you! That sounds cool having the choice. My Sims for YEARS have been stay at home parents, I'm just starting to explore careers haha! I'll have to do that one next.

@SimAlexandria i suggest doing a spreadsheets to write down everything your sim has done, its a good way to quickly "remember" what they already did in the game. haha

Haha I tried that once, but then I felt more like I was taking notes in class instead of just relaxing and playing a game. I just play for fun so it won't hurt if I miss something or do something twice by mistake. :)

I have Mortimer Goth in the investment branch of the business career.

There are two ways to make investments. The first is through the fabulously wealthy aspiration. If you accomplish it, your sim receives the shrewd trait which deposits 5% of the household funds into their account weekly. This trait was broken for a long time, but was fixed in a recent patch. In the investment branch of the business career, sims can also earn the ability to make investments. Those usually take about 48 hours or so I believe to make a return, but will only make a return once, and then you have to do another investment. I don't think these investments are guaranteed though to always work out in your favour.
