Do money sims ever get 'earn $100,000' want?

It seems the "Business Tycoon" career just doesn't pay enough, however the University specific careers seem to pay out ridiculous amounts of cash.
I so agree. Especially for the business tycoon level. I mean, do you really think pple like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet make a measly $2,000 a day? Heck no!
That's why I went ahead and overrode the Business career salaries to give a more "realistic" salary curve. W/ this, my fortune sims can achieve perma-plat in about 5 working days. And I so don't consider it cheating, b/c in real life, there are business tycoons who make WAY more. I only kept the salary at the level I did b/c I didn't want the game to be too easy.

What I hate about the endless wanting to buy $5000 paintings etc is that there isn't enough variety - I don't want that damn painting in every house. I also can't be bothered going on an expensive painting downloading binge just for fortune sims.
With NL, they're always wanting "stereo costing at least $2,700" and "game costing at least $5,000", or more specifically the dj booth and the bowling alley. Both of those are 1.) too big and 2.) too obnoxious to have in the house.
Actually, if i have room to throw the dj booth somewhere out of reach for 24 hours and then sell it back, I do. Over and over. But the bowling alley is way too big to do that.

The "Earn 100K" LTW is there. I have four fortune sims wanting it and being the nice God that I am, I'm trying to get them there. ::)
It seems like a very difficult LTW to achieve. I have one who's sucked down three tanks of Elixir and he's still only earned $50K thus far. It seems the "Business Tycoon" career just doesn't pay enough, however the University specific careers seem to pay out ridiculous amounts of cash.
The way I have fulfilled this is to career hop. Have them work *every* day. With the promotion bonuses and certain high payout chance cards, you can do this before they reach elder. Even if you just switch between two careers, ie Business and Science, it can be done.

My Pleasure Sim wants these things all the time plus the bubble blower, so I buy them and then stuff them into her inventory. That way the want it satisfied but I don't have to look at them or find a place in the house for them. An added benefit to the inventory is that the objects don't depreciate so you can sell them back without taking a financial hit.

I do this with the musical instruments (although all sims want them, not just fortune) but then they cancel their whole queue when they get home to walk over to where it was, throw a tantrum and "miss object". ::)
Putting them in the iventory is a great idea!
