It’s a fortune for most of my sims. I play rotationally and many of my sims have started out in sizable sims households ( friends ) till they earned enough to go it alone. My sims tend to do so much more than work.
I do have some families like the Landgrabbs where I cheat to buy businesses that my sims can go to. They live off of cheating pretty much but most of my sims live off of what they make, I have very little interest in mansions on the gallery and I have tried legacies but they are just not fun for me.
By the way, can you get interest in a non modded game? I have all the packs, but don’t use mods or CC.
I think my richest self made sim has several hundred thousand dollars, lives in a nice 4 bedroom house with a den, large green house, pool, rocket ship and many collections, in Windenburg . I haven’t played her in awhile because of the gardening bug that reverts plants to dirt piles. She pretty much made her fortune gardening. Never had an actual, leave the house job. She started out on the the original $20,000. Has never made interest on her money, but I’m interested in how to do that.
