Is it too easy to get rich in TS4?

Absolutely not, lol! My Sims always have $10,000 at most, but then again I have really big families...

I believe it depends how you choose to play your game. If you are activley planting lots of crops, collecting every possible collectable, working on your skills every moment you get, trying to get promoted as fast as possible then yes it will be easy but if you take things slow, only plant a couple of each crop, collect what you need for your story/aspiration and take your time with your skills and careers then no making money won't be fast or easy.

I play with custom lifespans so my sims have 160days starting from birth because of this much time I prefer to take my time and not rush, I want thing to feel natural. Same with relationships, I don't try to get my sims a partner in one day. I send them out to meet ppl, see who works best with them.

It depends how you play the game. I would lean towards yes if I had to pick a side. However, I'm not so sure I mind the 'getting rich quick' method. I struggle enough with money in real life! Haha. If you pace yourself and start off small, and then add items as well as expand your home...maybe that will make it harder?

I always use cheats. I'm poor enough, don't wanna play poor sims.

Think the thing is there's not a lot of ways for sims to lose money much less spend it when your sim starts to make good money.

Sims definitely start out with a good chunk of money when you start families. I tend to move a sim into San Myshuno borrow a loan from their parents to pay back so they can afford to make first rent and have them work up to saving money to buy an unfurnished home later on.

In S3, I use to collect, paint, go to World Adventures, collect rocks ect. and didn't have to cheat. I always cheat in S4 when I want my sims to have a bunch. I wish they would expand collecting. I don't think it is easy to get rich easy at all in S4.

In The Sims 4, we live the way we want to live, Its the freedom to choose that makes Playing the SIms 4 fun.
I feel our wages are much to low, and our bills, are too expensive. you can pay 14,000 a week for a normal size home. Lots of objects in build mode cost too much like the better beds, stove, and fridge.

The cheap stove will just catch on fire, and cheap beds do not allow for enough sleep to get up for work or school. cheap appliance and plumbing break faster so cost you more money replacing or in repairing them.
you start out with an entry-level job with too low wages.

So if the Sim enjoys the struggle,
Some like to have nothing and try to find their way to the top. the only thing, you may lose interest before you do. unless you get rich quick.
Even if you buy a business you do not make much money.

So some like to struggle some do not.
I like that we have the choice to be rich or not. also when your tired of being poor you can just use a cheat. (Cheats are not cheating, its just a gaming option. ) Some use cheats only when they have no other way.
I was watching youtube and this guy was doing rags to riches. So he had his sim with nothing, a bush for his bathroom a tent a beehive, and like 6 garden plants, to live he was drinking the honey from the beehive so it was hard for him he had only the money you start with he did buy some other thing but I forget what,
I got annoyed and decided to go and do the same rags to riches better, and I did, now its been almost two weeks and that one single sim now makes over three hundred thousand a day 300,000$
and over 3 million in surplus, But It was hard work, and planning.. all while at home and no job.
If you want to be broke in the game get a job, most jobs start with too little money. I did try that before, I was a single mom, one child in the very cheap apartment, everything started breaking, rats were running around, I said ok, now its time for motherlode. lol, I was not going to go there, but it's in the game if you want that.

I like our freedom to chose as it is now. Never should they push being poor on us or anything else, should always be your choice.

It's too easy. I don't use cheats or whatever but I think it's relatively easier to get promoted since you just need to improve your sim's skills and do certain things. There are tho a few careers that have harder tasks to complete.

Imo its too easy, I dislike having so much money but I recall the same thing happening in Other sims games.

Things I do bring down the moeny
-Add taxes my Sim has to "pay" alongside bills.
-Charge them for outfits changes, hair cuts, hair dye etc aka taking them into CAS for a make over.
-Charge them for traveling/ going to the club etc my own prices.
-I use mods and custom part-time jobs, since you can freeze career progress aka no promotions. Or you can get a custom part-time job as an adult and don't have to dread promotions because even at the top, you are not making thousands of dollars a single sim day.
-Seasons has helped with money cuz keep the thermostat on and booom!
-I donate to charity and use a mod to give money to townies once in a while or with Seasons give money as gifts.

Money was always easy to make in sims game. In sims 3 you could go to the future and look up the lottery numbers, or wish upon a genie for either 50k or 100k simoleons, i don't remember which.

In 4 there's the money tree as a way.

In either games if you just do a regular career you'll find it more difficult. The game is as hard as you want it to be.
