Frog Breeding is one of my favorite passive ways to earn money. Just get the best frog in the game which has a base cost of $160 and breed two of them together. The best part about this is that if you have multiple sims in your household, you can pass the frogs through the inventory of each sim (including children) and breed them for additional money and that way you get around the cooldown period.

I love doing this too! Came in handy for my 100 baby challenge. Everyone in the household had a set of $100+ frogs to breed every few hours.

@@queencleopatra007 if you have two frogs in your personal inventory you click on one of them and the option to breed comes up. There is a cooldown though of I believe 4 hours as I remember.

If you have the new Nano Can from the daily rewards, it functions exactly as the same as the base game one but it only costs 300 simoleons

for sims without the Klepto trait you can create a club and set swiping as a club activity. This allows you to steal anything regardless of mischief level but the cooldown remains

Even better than hosting partys is going on dates, if it's gold you get the 650 simoleons VIP bucket. So basicly have a date night with your spouse every once in a while...

Once you get into the swing of it, you can really do some speed dating and get gold in a sim hour or two. Which means you can have multiple dates if you want. I often schedule an 8 hour "work day" where my sim just goes on 5 dates in a row and earns around 3k simoleons. If you're doing rags to riches, it's perfect because going on a date doesn't need to cost your sim any money at all. You can work on the Soul Mate aspiration at the same time to earn heaps of aspiration points. That said, the costume party (from the deluxe edition) earns considerably more money even though it does cost a bit to set it up.

Oooh an excellent suggestion! Dates sound very profitable!! Thanks for sharing Hannah :)

These are great! My favorite way to make money is not base game, unfortunately. It does come from one of the least popular game packs, though. If you take your sims on vacation to Selvadorada from Jungle Adventure, they can find treasures. You can make a very lucrative "career" of being an archeologist. Your sim is technically unemployed, but stacking tens of thousands of Simoleans per trip. Leisure time abounds when you're an archeologist living on your own schedule.

I love fishing because you can get Cowplant berries and every Cowplant is around 425 simoleons and you don't have to wait for it to grow, just plant it, go into build mode and sell it. You can also get many expensive things sometimes just because, like violins, cameras, toys, the future cube and even a digital sketch pad sometimes. 😊🎉

This came right in time for my Rags to Riches lol

I didn't know the trashcan at the beginning provides money based on how many Sims there are in your household. I mostly play with 1 Sim at a time and thougth this method was rather slow to even earn the money back for having bought the thing in the first place.

I love the trash can. The money is nice, but what I like even more is that it never needs to be emptied! (And it can clip to the changing table like the regular diaper pail, but the diapers don't automatically go in.) Because we don't have time to be taking out the trash. And this hi-tech can works even off the grid. I don't get that, but I am here for it.

There is also taking food as an actor and selling it on the food stall ;) I saw James taking food at work in his video and immediately thought about selling it for profit.

I start my sim in the business career or as a writer so they have a head start to make $200k to pass the fabulously wealthy aspiration. Once I get the shrewd trait it’s smooth sailing because as my household bank grows so does the level of interest. That sets me up for retirement when my sim is an elder. Not only do I get the direct deposit each day from retiring in the top level of my chosen career, I get the weekly interest from being shrewd. Cha Ching!

For paintings sell them on the flea market and mark up the price to make even more simoleons.

👏👏👏 I don't do a build without the nanocan.

Highly recommend the actor career if you want something that pays high and leaves you with a lot of free time to do other things. With the right fame perks you can skip the audition for the role and increase the pay per gig, with the actor aspiration trait it becomes impossible to fail the scenes and you only have to do a couple of the job tasks to ensure gold performance. All this combined with the distinguished degree with honours and you end up with a job you can pick when you want to work that pays out around 30 to 40K for what amounts to about 5 minutes of go to work gameplay. It's also guaranteed fame for your sim if that's your thing.

I love how you make sure to include both the most standard stuff and stuff that some people wouldn't think of, like just constantly asking friends for loans or using the special nanotech trash can. XD And licensing songs would be a lot more lucrative even with the "one a week" cooldown if it didn't take SO FREAKING LONG to write songs. Like, if you make your Sim sit down and do it, you can churn out books like no one's business, but songs take FOREVER! I disapprove. :(

I just recently found your videos and I love them! The guides and explanation videos like this are very in-depth and super helpful.

Another great guide, Pete! Thanks! Since my sims tend to want to get burn out every other day I have been mixing what they like a bit more and combining things like painting and handiness just so I can jump back and forth when burn out threatens. I try to choose based on their personality (for example painting and handiness would be good for a creative genius) or maybe cooking and nectar making if they are creative and active. I always use the 3rd trait for a "flaw" to spice things up as well recently... I just can't bring myself to use a few traits like "high maintenance" because I feel like the issues are too easy to solve and it's just more annoying than challenging.

TIL you can make guitars and violins from the woodworking station 🤯

I have been playing Sims 4 for years and this is the first time I hear that Nano trash can give back money. Now I will place them everywhere.

But what to do with all the money once you finally get it and that huge mansion has been build? Investing in real estate with For Rent is one thing.
