Im playing the money making scenario with my snob sim who wants the wealthy and successful career aspiration but i gave her the lavish mod where she hates menial tasks and getting her fingers dirty so no gardening, she is in the actress career and i was looking for something to tide her over between auditions and gigs as its a rags to riches. Is there any hobby that would be considered good for a snob, high maintenance type sim? im struggling to think of anything

Cross-stitchshe could enjoy the stress relief of poking things with needle and its very delicate workor she could take up instrument and play it in some nice places for fun but obviously depends how snobby she is about the place

Painting and writing seem the obvious pair, since they're lucrative, but also deeply connected to the world of high art snobbery. Have your sim produce non-fiction (I like to label the books as biographies), poetry and literature, and produce only classical paintings.

I do kind of like the idea of the writing skill and the non fiction idea as she is all about moi and the classical painting idea, she is all about the acting so i guess the books could be bios and stuff to do with acting as thats what i want her to be known for. Thanks for the ideas

If the Sim is confident, they can write motivational books. I can imagine a snob Sim writing snobby "self-help" books because they want to tell others how to be as good as they are, especially if the Sim is also self-absorbed.

Maybe they would choose to paint, but use the tablet to do so, rather than an easel (no mess).They may also enjoy social media fame, blogging, vlogging and posting about themselves, gaining Fame and freebies/money from various perks and later forming their own brand.They may have pedigree pets, and breed and sell pedigree puppies/kittens. They may also train them for pet shows and be tipped for the pet's performance.

@Benjamilian @NightlyCoffee That's pretty much what Diego Lobo does in my game

(He's overcompensating a bit, too, as his guilty secret is that even though he's a well-known art critic his own painting skill is not actually that good)

The books earn much more money than his career.

Painting.
Snobs love art, some artists are snobs, and painting is a good money-maker in Sims. You could also give her the art critic career, which would work perfect with it. (My materialistic snob has actually been much happier since she became a critic.)

On the other hand, real life painting would involve getting her hands dirty (not in Sims though).

Being a YouTuber. It’s very lucrative and the snob can just talk about herself.

This is a good method. You can get your Sim in a creative mood pretty readily, then queue up half a dozen "create artwork" interactions on the tablet. Hit triple speed and rake in the cash. As a bonus you'll be boosting their Painting skill. Start with small pictures, then progress to larger ones as your Sims' skill goes up.
