I'm stunned, baffled, have no words! Ok, the last part might not be true, I always seem to find words no matter what.Anyway, new save and new sim, yeah? He gets the cheap Medina apartement next to Benali, just 'cause its cheap and has lots of room. He's scraping by, just started a new career, painting and woodworking to earn some cash, digging in trash to find good "deals", you know, you do what you must do.4 days into his life in the city, its Lottery Day, and he buys a ticket, like you do. Next day comes around, and I expect some unknown townie I've never heard of, Random Sim #163, winning. But no, its MY Bobby! He had 1293 bucks to his name, then suddenly BAM! One million smackers zooms into his account! I never thought this could happen! What ARE the odds?!? Maybe because its a fairly new save, not many sims have been randomly generated yet, I dunno!I'm shocked, I don't know what to do! What ARE people doing with a million bucks?? I never ever even CHEATED that much cash! Whenever I've seen posts about these things, I just don't give it a second thought, its not relatable to me. Do I have him quit his job, and let him take that vacation he has a whim for right now? Do I move him to a sprawling mansion, get married (to a golddigger, no doubt!) and have a bunch of kids that he never gets to see because the house is just too darn big?Suggestions? Tips? What would YOU do with a million simoleons?

Sounds like it's time to buy that penthouse in San Myshuno's Fashion District.EDIT: I don't know how you're playing Bobby, but if you're looking to have him be smart about this, complete the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration as quickly as possible so that he'll never have to work again and can just live off of interest. If he's going to be a legacy founder, your legacy is now financially set, and permanently.

Congratulations! Has your sim ever owned and operated a business? Now may be the time. Of course that would come after the fabulous vacation and brand new apartment.

What would YOU do with a million simoleons?This is officially my favorite post. I have a Sim so wealthy that I had to buy him a vault so I would stop capping his wealth at 9,999,999 simoleons. But I STILL ALWAYS PLAY THE LOTTERY. Anything above a million is hard to spend, I can assure you of that! I do wish they would add cars to the game at some point. I would have my sim by a Lamborghini. :D

I don't think I've ever had a sim win the lottery. It's basically non-existent in my game. My sims have a better chance of getting abducted than winning the lottery. A few weeks ago, I was playing a rags to riches type game and my sim found a money tree seed in the dumpster. Needless to say, he wasn't in rags for long. That was the first time I ever found the money tree in this game. I eventually got bored and quit because there was no struggle.

Now I know thee is a possibility my sims could win that much, that is one holiday I will be stopping, there is no challenge for me when they have so much money they dont need to work. please let us know what you decide to do with it all. and Bobby, love his name. :)

I always remove lottery winnings from my families. I play rotational and sometimes the families win the lottery when I'm not playing them and then when I go to play them they have so many simoleons. I usually take it all away using the money cheat. I enjoy having my sims earn what they have. :D

Lucky! The very few times my Sims won the lottery the price has been a few hundred. xD

I didn't know there was a lottery to be played. How do you get a ticket? Is it specific to a game pack?

can you please remind me exactly what i do to take money away, I have a glitch that when I go to play a sim I get told they have a million simoleans. I dont want that in my game. and it wasnt because of the lottery. sometimes its the family I have been playing, I take them into cas and when i come out o fthat there it is. so pelase remind me exactly what I have to type in. that cheat never works for me, so I must be doing it wrong. Thank you.

I just type "testingcheats on" in the cheat box press enter then type "money 10000" or what ever money amount I want. After that I type "testingcheats off" and close the cheat box.

My sims also won the lottery last week. New game I started to raise foster children. They used all their money on a basic home so it was really slow going to get all the things I wanted for children. I was as dazed as my sim when he won. I really was going to skip the lottery because I was trying to save up for beds and toys. They now have a full house and one job. My stay at home sim has a job where she can choose to write something if she wishes to. She hasn't had time with all the cooking, repairs homework and socializing. I don't find I play any differently. I was just able to get on with the game I had in mind without the tedious go to work, come home do tasks go to work again. I never really notice the money in sims unless they don't have any.
