Is there a sure fire way to write a best seller?

I haven't found any sure way to get a bestseller and it seems I can write dozens of them until I get that need in the aspiration, then I get none. When you have written a book you can mouse over it in your inventory and it will tell you if it's a bestseller or not.

Try getting them Very Inspired or I've had better luck when they're listening to music but it's pretty random which I like since it makes the aspiration harder to complete.

Hello
There is the " Creative Visionary " reward that you can buy that will help to increase the chance you will write best sellers.

Try to also make sure that your sim is in an inspired state when writing the books.

If you hover over the book while it's in your sims inventory, it'll tell you what it is. "Best Seller" "Excellent", etc. It's best, when the option is giving to you, to submit Best Sellers to literary something or other. But, the quality of the book is determined when it's done being created, not on how it's published. You can also hover over the title when publishing and it'll tell you all the info on the book, including the quality.

I've had the best luck writing screenplays, but I have noticed it's whatever you have wrote the most of. So if your sim has wrote more Fiction, just have her keep writing fiction. Take a thoughtful shower then cloudgaze until the inspired moodlet pops and if you have those Sims 3 bonus lamps, put out two to three of those inspired ones and turn on the aura to get your sim as inspired as you can.

you don't have to publish them at all if you'd rather stay broke. the quality is determined right after you write them.

Okay, thanks for the info. I'll try to get her as inspired as possible next time I play.
I suppose there's no way to cancel the income on published books?

I don't think so. You could donate the money to charity if anyone is the household is Good. I can't remember if Sims without the Good trait can do this, maybe not.

the donating is too little money. I keep making 5000 offerings to the well but I'd still like to bring in less money

Over time the royalties don't bring in as much so when you complete the aspiration you could just stop writing and eventually you shouldn't receive any more royalties. Or if you still want to write and get some income from it, you could just self publish a few at a time, self publishing doesn't bring in as much.

Oh I didn't know that. I play normal life span and aging on so I probably will never see the day I don't get the royalties :D My sim will die first
