Money makes the world go around. Well, we’ve heard enough people say as much so it must be true, right? Regardless, Simoleons certainly have a major impact on The Sims 4, allowing you to buy nicer things, throw bigger parties and even have a proper wedding (we opted to save $1,000 and elope). Sure enough, the Sim with the most cash writes their own ticket, and here are three ways you can make sure it’s always raining Simoleons.
Work Hard + Get Promoted
We touched on this with our Advanced Tips, but getting promoted is the most logical way to earn more money in The Sims 4. To give you an idea what we’re talking about, we started at $17 an hour, but two or three promotions later were sitting at about $37 an hour. In fact, our career path as a Secret Agent can pay up to $12,780 a week! That’s a major jump in cash flow, and you’ll need every penny if you hope to live the high life without cheating the system.
The Two Income Household
The beauty of this method is that it’s not cheating, and you can get promoted and bring in two separate incomes. We started out living the single life and making peanuts. When the refrigerator broke down every second day it began to drain our wallet, so we did the only logical thing we could think of… got married. Now that we’re rocking a two person household where everyone has a job (and we don’t hire a maid), we’re bringing in twice as much cash as before. It’s still going to take players quite some time to start living a life full of style and comfort, but this is definitely the fastest (legitimate) way.
Cheaters Always Prosper
It’s probably irresponsible of us to use a title like that, but in The Sims 4 it’s fairly reasonable to think that cheaters tend to come out on top, and that’s especially true with Simoleons. If you can’t be bothered to get a job, or get a spouse and have both of you get jobs, you could just use the cheats to drop thousands of extra Simoleons in your pockets. Sure, you’ll have to sleep at night knowing you went about it the dishonest way, but considering the quality of mattress you have, that shouldn’t be too much of an issue.
Here’s how you can use cheats to earn more Simoleons.
On your keyboard, press CTRL + SHIFT + C, then input the following in the text box that appears.
- $50,000 – motherlode
- $1,000 – kaching or rosebud
