^I found a solution by using a laptop instead of a desktop and sticking it in one of the WA trunks when it isn't being used for something I deem important. Is that not an option for you?

a computer in the house without having the entire household swarming towards it to play computer games or chat online. Does such a thing exist?
Does such a thing exist in real life, even?

Nope - primarily because I don't have WA. The closest thing I could do in parallel to that would be to either put the computer behind a locked door or constantly move it to the family inventory when it's not in use. The former is impossible as the sim can still 'see' it, and the latter would be incredibly tedious. I'll have to stick to sending my sim off to the library to pick up its real estate earnings, unless there's another way that I've totally overlooked (most likely).

If it doesn't, it should. Usually a power cable temporarily wrapped around the culprit's neck serves as a timely reminder that the computer should be LEFT ALONE!
Also, whilst I'm on the subject of no-autonomy mods, is there one that kills off the annoying "view object" interaction that virtually every sim in the neighbourhood must do every time they walk past a potted plant or an exit sign? I've searched (again), but only came up with the equivalent "no look at" mod for Sims 2. I vaguely remember that pre-Ambitions, only artistic sims would stare and gawp at objects, but now they all do it. I mean, what on earth is so fascinating about a sign telling them where the exit is?
Scratch that - I've been directed to one here.

You should be able to collect one's earnings either via cell phone or via map view. Unless using a computer allows one to collect the earnings all at once.

Ah, I forgot about the phone. After giving it a try tonight, it looks like I can only collect my earnings one place at a time. For some reason I thought that I could collect them all by using the computer, but now that I think about it, it was probably an AM feature that existed before EA took the ownership certificates out and came up with this more cumbersome system instead.
