Is this possible? Re: Money earned
schmoopee:
I was wondering if there is a way to make a hack that would tell how much a single sim has earned. I'm figuring the info must be in the game program somewhere, as it posts memory markers when they hit "milestone" amounts. I'd just like to know a specific amount for my fortune sims who want to earn $100,000 for their LTW because sometimes there's a big gap between memory markers.
Another question while I'm at it - is it even possible to fulfill this LTW? Without age cheats? I'm playing a no-age-or-money cheat hood right now, and most of my elders die shortly after 50,000 earned - but I wasn't really trying to have them earn a ton.
And if it is possible - how the heck did you do it? Paint & write novels in every free moment? Make lots of friends & inherit their money when they die? It seems almost impossible to reach such a high number.

well, the potion of youth is no cheat, as it is in the game, and is an aspiration reward. The same goes for the Simnovorii (cow plant).
That, and making sure you change career each time you hit the top, so you can get tripple bonuses from promotions help too. Plus a few paintings here and there, or perhaps a money tree.
Simoleans do grow on trees you know, especially in this game.

I've just had a Sim achieve this LTW after only 8 or 9 days as an Adult. Getting one big payoff chance card will get you there (this Sim scored §50k thanks to the Smuggler chance card). He had already earned §25k by the time he left University (college grants, paintings, tips), and a bit of job-hopping and a few promotions helped him to earn the other §25k in his first week as an Adult.

Earning $100000 can be easy or hard, depending on what level you're willing to go to in order to pursue it. There are several approaches.
1. Spray and Pray: Pick a nice, well-paying job, and hope the chance cards roll in your favor. Use the Chance Card Guide in the War Room to determine what your best prospects are. Advantages: Low micromanagement, high stability. Disadvantages: Unreliable - chance cards do not appear consistently.
2. Milk Them Promotion Bonuses: Pick a job with a huge promotional bonus: The Ecological Guru is best because on promotion, you receive a 3x salary for your new job, which for the Eco Guru, is 30K. The precursor job for the Eco Guru, the Dino Cloner, works 4 days a week, too, and you can be immediately offered this job if you have a Uni 4.0 Degree in a relevant field. Advantages: Very fast payout. Disadvantages: Only applicable to certain majors. Moderate micromanagement. High memory spam.
3. Maternity Leave Abuse: Once again, the eco guru is your choice here: You get paid for every day of being pregnant, regardless of if you work that day. And the Eco Guru doesn't work on most days, so it's free money. Advantages: No additional effort. Can be used to some extent with nearly any sim. Disadvantages: Leaning on this method requires WAAAAY too many babies, even for Eco. Practical only for females. Limited effectiveness in other jobs.
4. The Hard Way: Go to work every day. Don't retire. At a $15K/week job, it'll take you 7 weeks to make it. Longer for other jobs. Try not to die before it happens. Advantages: No effort. Can be combined with all of the above. Usable by all. Disadvantages: Only possible as a pure approach for some jobs - will probably die before this happens.
5. College Fund Abuse: Get maximum scholarships and A+ stipend every semester. Advantages: Trivial. Stacks with above methods. Disadvatanges: Requires Uni attendance. Mildly boring. Only a partial method.
6. Lame Tax Tricks: Receive lots of tips, probably from your own family, for no cost. Advantages: Does not require actually earning the money. Can theoretically be accomplished at Uni or even teen. Disadvantages: LOTS of Micromanagement, VERY BORING, does not actually give you money!

I have a game where Beau Broke was in the millitary and he got at least double that! If they move house after getting a 50,000 payout, they often get the same thing again, and if you are lucky and hit on the right answer, they get the payout again....and again...and again...
