Prices of lots in Briny Heights

@DBrick01 over time you accumulate a few Simoleons with quests and events, but indeed it's a steep price, certainly something you're working up to. 

When the game first came out, I set timers so that I would log onto the game every 42 minutes (the amount of time it takes me to finish a quick career/hobby action with all of the bonus traits and items).  At night before bed, I would set my sims to do the long events for daily tasks (which is no longer a thing) and any extra sims to long career/hobby events.  I also religiously attended 2 level 10 parties a day and hosted one a week.  Once you are not spending money on land, it grows quickly.  It took me almost a year to get my first million simoleons, but only a few months each to get the second and third million.  

Although since then, they have updated and revised contests, goals, daily challenges, and events.  The current Sweet Treat events require more simoleon spending than the events they replaced.  Also, when they switched to color swatches being individual purchases, it also increased simoleon spending.

Anyway, these days I usually log in twice a day, 42 minutes apart, to complete the llama zoom task set.  The second time I set my sims to do a long and three standard events so that I can log on the next day, complete those, start everyone on short tasks, log on 42 minutes later and complete the llama zoom.

My friends and I used to coordinate parties (there is a huge thread here where we coordinated parties) and we would spend the first 30-45 minutes of each party enjoying the party chat together while we leveled it up to level 10.  Somewhere along the way, I triggered the alien bug so that my friends and I can no longer see each other's parties.  That is when I lost my enthusiasm for the game and started logging in only enough to do llama zoom.  

But, to answer your question.... I used to do that, sort of, not 4 sims once a day, but 4 sims 20-25 times a day.  (which is 11200 simoleons a day -- 112 per short event x4 x25 -- which does not include the extra simoleons from the long events overnight or the rewards from finishing daily tasks (now replaced by llama zoom).  You can do it even faster if you stay logged on and help by doing actions.

Also note, if you have any trait bonuses or career/hobby item bonuses that reduce your time, short career/hobby events are much more productive than long ones because of the way the discount works.  I can get 112 simoleons for 42 minutes (quick) or 450 simoleons for over 5 hours (long).

To get 40,000 simoleons, your Sims will have to complete 88 long events (about a month if you have four Sims go to work at least once a day).

To get 500,000 simoleons, your Sims will have to complete 1,111 simoleons (about 40 weeks if you have 4 Sims go to work once a day)

Who does that?

I will try to log in once a day to keep them working.😁
