Sim suddenly has over 9 million simoleons
My Sim had around 60,000 simoleons last time I paid attention. Her boyfriend moved in, bringing the usual $20,000 with him, but that's been her only income that I know of recently. She doesn't have ...

Max winnings from the lottery is only a million, I'm pretty sure and even with the bonus from the Advanced technology skill that maxes it out at 3 million, so I don't think that's it.
Besides, she said she hasn't played the lottery.
This looks more like a cheat-gone-wrong, being how close that number is to the cap (assuming the cap is still 9,999,999...I haven't had a sim reach that in years). Maybe a mod gone wrong?
Yeah, the cap is 9,999,999 I have an old household who have reached that. One of the reasons why is because you can unlock a reward trait which is pretty broken where your sims will get random money from "investments". And those investments could be loads of money like 150k and that also happens even when you are not playing them. Maybe that's what happened?
The amount given from investments (the "Shrewd" trait) isn't random; it's a flat 5% of current household funds at the moment the weekly reward kicks in. Thing is, that can add up real fast if you've got a married couple and a house where they have every high-quality object they'll ever need and no longer need to spend money. Even more so if they have the Frugal trait and/or some "Bill Discount Item" stuff (eco-friendly walls and flooring, clean energy machines if the relevant NAP from Eco-Living is installed) keeping them from paying much in bills. I've never run up against the cap, but I've hit 5 million on one of my rotation's oldest households.
