How do you make a million dollars?
I find this scenario so hard. I already gave up in one save but I want to try again. What is your strategy? Does it take a really long time?

I'm focusing on her career and painting, mostly. I tried gardening again, but its still messed up, with plants reverting to merely planted status. I get fed up (again) and just leave them alone. My sim is living in Sulani, doing the Conservationist career. This means quick and easy work from home and lots of free time to spend on her fortune aspiration, and to make money otherwise.
I can't do tiny living, its just too small for me. Sure, skilling is faster, but I also don't have much room for everything I want/need. Not going to sit here watching my sim just read books for all their skills. I plopped my sim down on the Admirals Wreckage, which cost (after remodeling) a bit under 20k. Near the Wreckage, there is a fishing spot. It contains over 20 species of fish. Including some pretty rare, valuable ones. You also get lots of other things there, like the Sulani collectibles, cowplant berries, crystals etc. AND its a good way to clean up the islands, too, by fishing up invasive species and seaweed/driftwood. So, because fishing still works as intended, I do that instead of gardening. Until they can finally fix gardening, then its back to my green thumbs.
This scenario IS hard. I've only ever had a million once in all my years of simming. There's no need, even half of that is more than a sim or family needs. Unless you build them a 64x64 4story tall mansion. Plus a basement. Or two. The only time I've had a mill, is when my sim won the lottery last year. The struggle is real, there's just no getting rid of that money without cheating. There are no expensive items to buy, no luxury cars or second homes. Retail/restaurant just isn't attractive enough for me to get into, or I could have blown away a lot of money on that. TS3 had cars, and as far as I remember, a 72k jet plane lawn ornament XD I remember 2 of my sims getting that as a wedding gift, I believe from the Shallows hahah Now, THOSE are things we could be spending an obcene amount of money on. But alas....
