So I just put a beautiful $600,000 house in my world that I want my Sims to live in. I don't want to use money cheats, but I do want my Sims to make as much money possible to be able to afford this house. What are some get rich quick ideas? Obviously i'm not trying to purchase the house in Sim week but hopefully before they die and their children can live there! Right now they are in a house that's worth around $100,000 and only $18,000 in the family funds.

HelloGardening, painting and writing are great ways for sims to earn money. Also having your sims search for collectibles then selling them helps to bring in money also.The dragonfruit and ufo plants are especially good plants to have in your sims garden.

You could also have one of them marry a rich sim and inherit the cash after they meet their fate at a hungry cowplant. That's not really cheating, it's just a little clever manipulation. ;) Scientist career is good too, you'll get the cloning machine and can clone something really expensive over and over.

The alien fruits are worth a lot of money. But if you don't have that EP, high quality harvests, and paintings brings in the big bucks.

Buy a retail lot. Put the $15000 violin in it to sell at the 300% markup (or whatever the highest markup is, I forget exactly). Make sure you have a cash register so you can open the store. Sell the violin for however much double or more than you got it for. Restock and repeat as necessary. You can get $30k plus in a matter of minutes.

If your skill is high enough you can make some killer money with tips from DJ booth. My sim can bring in between 1000 to 2000 a night. Singles and ladies nights bring in more from what I have noticed in my game.

With very intense grinding you could make that money in two sims weeks with painting. Don't expect the sim to do anything apart from paint and drink moodlet solver drinks though. (Or use the club interaction 'Rally The Troops' from Get Together.) If you are going to do this small sized paintings net you more money over the course of the 2 weeks.

Get a few perfect dragonfruit plants, you can probably get some in the gallery, also take microscope samples from plants, crystals and fossils, and have a community lot with the big microscope so u can study the microscope sampls,... And se the prints

Are you saying the smaller paintings sell more than the medium and large?
