I have been a big Sims player for around 15 years and always focus on making money through my career. A week or two ago, I started the Sims in Bloom challenge and I had no idea how much money you could make from gardening. I have 7 plots of dragonfruit and 1 plot of orchids and I earn at least 100k a day with just an hour or two of gameplay.

I always end up with a few money trees and spend time leveling my gardening skill. Dragonfruit earns a lot, but I enjoy the idea that money grows on trees.

That’s a great idea I haven’t looked into money trees yet. I had a big garden and was making so much money that I was surprised, so I downsized to just a few plots and the money keeps coming in. Who would have thought
@Niko
If you crossbreed one tree with another (like plasma) you can get even more seeds, since normally the money tree gives cash but combined, you can have both plasma and money tree seeds instead of just cash.
It’s around 15,000 per tree harvest.
@Niko
If your spellcaster sim learns the Duplicato spell, you can duplicate money trees without using reward points.
Note: you’ll need to buy the first one first.

You can also duplicate without spells for families without a Spellcaster. Once the tree is ready to harvest, put it in your household inventory. You’ll keep the original money tree and have about 5 seeds for new money trees you can plant. This worked twice in one day with the same tree last time I tried it, so you can get about 10 extra trees like that.

Yeah, I usually play generations and when my sims get all the quality-of-life traits like not needing sleep or a bathroom, I spend my reward points on money trees and focus on growing their skill. My current family is three generations in and I have 5 high-quality money trees making around $78k a day from selling all the money fruit.
It doesn’t take much to create serious income, especially since I have all my sims go for the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration after they finish their primary one. Six Shrewd traits under one roof really adds to the money until it barely matters anymore. I’m living in a big house (needed to with 6 family members) that I built myself with fancy stuff and I have about $3 million without using money cheats My starting sim was an author and those daily royalty payments really add up fast.
Also, add the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration so once you earn 200,000 from selling your dragonfruit, you also get weekly interest. It’s way too easy to get multimillionaires in the game - some of my legacy families had more than 9,999,999 simoleons - the counter just stops at that amount.

No billionaires in the Sims huh What a beautiful world

Well, their net worth would still be over a billion assuming they own a property worth at least 1 simoleon

9,999,999 + 1 is 10,000,000 simoleons They would have to have at least 990,000,001 simoleons in assets which might be achievable with enough work in For Rent lol
@Mika
Forget it, never mind haha
@Dakota
I usually play with all my sims’ kids and grandkids in the same house. If you start with an author sim to gain tons of royalty payments, it really builds up. I’m currently three generations in with six people living in a huge, fancy house. Everyone has the Shrewd trait from the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration (I have them do it after completing the primary aspiration) and I’m sitting on about $3 million. I have five fantastic-quality money trees making me around $78k per day, so my original author sim pretty much only writes once a week to produce a masterpiece for fame. I wouldn’t even send my sims to work anymore if it weren’t for aspirations and special career items to help younger sims succeed.
@Denver
I used to run multigenerational households too and they really brought in the money - so much so it got a bit boring and I started looking for ways to make them lose money - if only real life worked that way…
@Dakota
Yeah, I’m thinking about kicking everyone out except the current generation and maybe my immortal family leader, because there’s just nothing to do with all the money. I wish there were more options for spending money later in the game.
@Denver
I lost some funds by retiring my elders using manage households - I’d move them to a new household and give them a nice place in San Myshuno - then let them go to other households.
Plus, I made them holiday houses using retail lots so they could spend their money.
It would be nice to have more options for spending their cash.
Is it really underrated I mean I feel like gardening and painting are the most popular ways to make money after using the motherlode cheat

Haha, I came here to say just because the person who posted this just realized it doesn’t make it underrated James Turner and other Sims content creators always mention how they know you can grow tons of expensive plants like dragonfruit in a greenhouse Gardening is incredibly powerful Even without a literal money tree, which I think should cost more aspiration points.

If you haven’t tried writing, you’re missing out on a steady income from royalties You get payments every day instead of one large sum, but they can add up forever, so you can write like a book every day and really rake in the cash Pretty much every time I start a new game, my first sim is an author to make money without cheats. My current game has three generations in the same house with five quality money trees making around $78k a day and everybody has the Shrewd trait from Fabulously Wealthy, so I’m doing really well with minimal work.
