Interest on Investments?

Just out of the blue, my Sim received a notification that he had received $12,002 interest earned on investment this week. I'm totally stumped by this. Interest on what? Investment in what? Is there anyone who knows how I would find out?

This is a substantial amount of money for my Sim in one lump sum. No, he's not poor, but he is a work at home gardener, painter, author, fisherman, and collector. He lives with his fiancee, who is only on Level 2 Culinary, and recently came with no money at all added. He lives in a modest, small house with little and cheap furniture.

I control my Sims totally, every moment, so I know they didn't do something I don't know of, even though freewill is on. I do have GTW but have never used or looked at it yet, as I am waiting for the next patch because of the bugs that have been reported since the March 26th patch, some of which I have experienced.

I'm totally at a loss to figure out what this is. Is there a way I can find out?
  • I'll explain it. You have get to work! it's part of tht. Your sim must've owned a retail and invested some money into it. Then you get some money to your sim as a weekly payment.

    That's it. As I mentioned I couldn't remember, but that was what my sims had accomplished to make that happen.


    No, none of my sims have reward traits xd, shrewd is a reward trait. it isnt reward traits, rewards or shrewd. it is this:
