Write Books

Writing can earn you money without even spading a day at work for it; you can become an author at home. You need a computer for your Sim to start writing; at the lowest level, your Sim can only write children’s books but the more skill you learn, the more different genres you can write. It may take a couple of hours to complete your book, but as soon as your Sim is finished sending it off in a mailbox, they can start making daily royalties the next day. These amounts will vary, but it’s a great way to earn passive income, and they never stop coming. The better the Sim’s skills, the more money the Sim makes.

Fishing

Sims fishing in The Sims 4 can be an efficient way to quickly earn some money, even though it isn’t necessarily passive income book royalties, as you can leave your Sims fishing for a while, and they will earn a considerable amount of simoleons. Yet, if your Sim’s level of fishing is low, it will be more difficult for them to catch high-priced fish. Your Sims can also occasionally catch other kinds of fish, but if you are willing to let your Sim stand around for quite some time, they can make a lot of money while fishing. Your Sim can also catch a gold bar if you fish for long enough and even get rare fish that will sell for quite a bit of money.

Wish for It

One of the many ways to use the wishing well from The Sims 4 Romantic Garden Stuff Pack is that a Sim can get a big cash payout by building the wishing well, and if they wish, it will come true. Sims can receive hundreds of thousands of simoleons if your Sim wishes for it. The well can also be used to cheat death by granting eternal life, or it can be used to gain love. However, you should be warned, If the well is in a bad mood, it may take all the funds of your Sim or even kill them. If you want to get rich, you have to spend money in order to get rich because they can bribe the well with money.

Become a Painter

Unlike the real world, getting wealthy in The Sims 4 isn’t through being a doctor or lawyer but as an artist. You can get rich using the painting easel available in the base game; you buy one or use a free one at a Muesum. It is sometimes the best way to get rich. Sims can earn thousands of simoleons for each painting they paint as they develop their skills, earning even more with leveling up to the max painting skill. One drawback to this method is that it costs about 50-100 simoleons to begin a painting, which isn’t great for players already on tight budgets; however, low-skilled paintings will pay off after leveling up. The more you paint, the more money you earn; if you paint a masterpiece, you’ll get at least 1,000 simoleons for it.

Steal for Money

Sometimes your Sim has to commit crimes to gain happiness and enjoy their life riches. Even though it isn’t the most ethical, stealing can be an entertaining method of making simoleons in The Sims 4. A Sim must have the Kleptomaniac trait and level up their Mischief in order to steal items. The higher the level, the better the steal. Also, stealing something at a lower level is best done when no one is around; otherwise, they will be caught and embarrassed. Sims won’t be able to steal items when they’re still working on leveling up the trait, but your Sim will be able to steal large high-selling items, such as a piano, once they reach the max level.

Become a Gold Digger

If you want to take your Sim to engage in a darker gameplay style, your Sim can try to marry a wealthy Sim and use their money, and when it’s time to move on, you can push your Sims’ spouse to meet the Grim Reaper. With relatively little effort, anyone can earn tens or hundreds of thousands of simoleons in The Sims 4 without cheat codes. There is also a popular Sims challenge called the Black Widow challenge. You can have your Sim become rich, and you try to complete a Sims challenge simultaneously. This morbid challenge can appeal to a particular group of players because of all the flirting with other Sims, convincing them to marry, and killing them. The challenge’s goal is to kill off as many spouses as possible.

Just Cheat 

There is enjoyment in playing from the ground up with your Sim; however, you might not have the patience to spend your time to get to the money. Cheating is always the easiest way to make money, and in The Sims 4, cheating money is one of the oldest cheats in the game. You can earn 50,000 simoleons by pressing “Ctrl + Shift +C” to pull up the cheat bar and type “motherlode.” Another way to cheat money is “kaching” less than “Motherlode,” as your Sim only gets 1,000 simoleons through the cheat. If you wanna get a specific amount of simoleons for your household, you type “money(plus the amount you want).” Despite the real challenges of attaining money, you can enjoy your time in The Sims 4 world.
