11 Quickest Ways to make MONEY in The Sims 4
In The Sims 4, there are several ways to make money quickly, depending on your Sims’ skills and the expansion packs you have. Here are some of the most effective methods:
1. Painting
With a high Painting skill, Sims can create and sell paintings for a substantial profit. The “Marketable” trait from the Rewards Store can further increase the value of the paintings.
2. Writing
Sims with high Writing skills can write and publish books, earning royalties over time. Bestselling books generate higher royalties, and the “Creative Visionary” trait helps Sims write bestsellers more often.
3. Gardening and Flower Arranging
Growing and selling high-quality plants or arranging flowers can be highly lucrative. The “Green Thumb” trait and the “Super Green Thumb” reward trait can help increase plant quality.
4. Programming and Hacking
Sims with high Programming skills can earn money by freelancing, making mobile apps, or hacking. Freelance gigs, in particular, can be very profitable, especially at higher levels.
5. Fame and Media Production (Get Famous)
If you have the Get Famous expansion pack, becoming a celebrity can be very profitable. Sims can earn money through media production, such as recording and selling videos, music, or streaming.
6. Freelancing
Various freelance careers, such as writing, programming, or digital art, offer well-paying gigs. The Freelancer career is flexible and can be very profitable with high skills.
7. Fishing and Collecting
While not as consistent, fishing for rare fish or collecting rare items (like gems and metals) can sometimes yield significant money. The Angling Ace aspiration can help with fishing.
8. Career Advancement
Reaching the top of a career ladder can provide substantial weekly paychecks and bonuses. Some of the highest-paying careers include the Tech Guru, Business, and Astronaut careers.
9. Baking and Cooking
Sims with high Cooking or Baking skills can create high-quality dishes and sell them, especially if they own a retail store with the Get to Work expansion.
10. Investing in Real Estate (With Mods)
If you’re open to using mods, some mods allow Sims to invest in real estate or the stock market, providing passive income.
11. Cheats (For Instant Money)
Using the “motherlode” cheat will instantly give your household §50,000. For a more gradual approach, the “kaching” cheat provides §1,000, and “rosebud” does the same.
Each method’s effectiveness depends on how much time and effort you’re willing to invest in developing your Sim’s skills or progressing in their career. Combining several of these methods can help you accumulate wealth more quickly.
