What are ways to make money you don't have to work in the sims 4 game?

1. Painting (Get Marketable and Creative Visionary traits), then get the garage sell table or open a business.
2. Gardening (This got even better with Seasons)
3. Furniture crafting (Get marketable trait)
4. Programming skill but I don't think it's that profitable
5. Write books but takes long.

If you mean not working an actual career there's a good couple of ways depending on what appeals to y ou

-Fishing
-Selling collectibles and minerals
-Selling artifacts from Selvadorada (Jungle Adventure)
-Gardening
-Selling plants and collectibles found at the festivals in San Mynshuno (Searching for snow globes and posters and selling them.)
-Playing for tips with whatever instrument (or busking in City Living)
-Kleptomaniac (Going to other sims home and stealing their stuff and selling it.)
-Ask for a loan (Requires charisma to be high. Can be a small loan or a big loan). I haven't paid multiple sims back and there hasn't been a penalty for being a moocher
-Sale items with the sale table, which you can have a yard sale on your lot and mark up the price however you like

In Seasons, you can have your sim get a job with the Gardening Career, but never have to go into work. When the sim works at home, there is only one maybe two things they have to get done in before the next working day. They can even complete those away from home. Once my sim was asked to harvest one thing. She went outside, found a wild plant and harvest it, and went back to what she was doing before and the job was done.

But to earn money, and not work there are a ton of things they can do; besides what AlanSims mentioned there is also painting. They can also go out side and fish, collect rocks, gems, fossils, plants, frogs and sell those off for money as well.

Motherlode, Motherlode, Motherlode.
:p

Furniture crafting?

Collectibles and minerals? Where is posters? Sale table?

Lol! No.


Thank you for answer my question. You are best.

Also forgot the wood working table (build stuff outta wood and just sell your items), Floral Arranging (in seasons) and painting. :p

Posters you'll find if you have City Living. They're usually on the back of these things that kinda look like mail boxes or some kind of electrical box that the land lord or mechanic can be seen working on now and again on the side walk. Posters are plopped right behind them.

Collectibles like the my sim trophies and the minerals/rocks you can dig up around in the area.

Selling stuff on the selling table.

Okay.

I haven't yet tried any of the Get to Work jobs where you actually go to the job, but I swear the Rabbit Hole jobs in 4 seem so much more exhausting. No time to do anything else when off shift.
I've found music playing for tips, painting, and writing to be the most fun myself, with regular gardening(not for the career) as a backup for extra cash.
-Music playing is rewarding the very moment the sim gets high enough level to actually play decent music. Right then I hit my Emerson Winchester mode and just wave my hands in rhythm to the music as they play. You will actually make tips just practicing from the start in some public venue. Find a nightclub or such with instruments, most likely a piano, and just start banging the ivories. You will find your sim will care more about the flat notes than the spectators.
-Painting is about the quickest way to get to the big bucks. Each work doesn't take long, you can squeeze about three a day, and once you get to a certain level (about lvl 5) the masterpieces start showing up. That's when the dough really shows up. Also you will find the occasional piece worth keeping in your home which will help boost your sim's mood. Be careful, saved masterpieces will increase your bill payments.
-Writing is not a fast track to a big pile of cash, but it will get you there. I find it fun for the titles I can apply to each book. I will even make series of novels with a certain character. There is also Programming which can give you opportunities for hacking, which can net you a nice sum now and then. Rather ideal for a Loner sim. Your sim could be Lisbeth Salander of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, or Lester of GTA V, or just some bored soccer mom who needs something to do when she has the house to herself.
