Tips for just starting new game Gardner, musician, need to make money having trouble??

You can make good money when your sim get the ability to create songs. You can only license one song each week but the royalties you get each day is good. It can go from 200-500, even up to 700 simoleons a day. Busking can also net you some nice profit. My preference is going to a bar around 6pm to 11pm-12am and my Sim could get 100 simoleons easy, and even more depending on how high the music skill is. You can even busk while creating a song.
