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.
