Simoleons are the virtual currency in The Sims games, used to buy and sell items, services, and experiences. They come in different denominations, including §1, §5, §10, §50, and §100.
In The Sims, players can earn simoleons by completing tasks, selling items, and collecting rewards. I've seen players get creative with their simoleon-earning strategies, like collecting cans and bottles or selling handmade crafts.
The value of simoleons can fluctuate depending on the game's economy and player actions. For example, in The Sims 4, the value of §1 can change depending on the player's skill level and the game's current economy.
Players can also use cheats to manipulate the simoleon economy, but be aware that this can affect gameplay and balance.
Getting Started
In The Sims, you'll start with §20,000, which is a decent amount to get you going.
The number of Sims in your family can impact your starting money, especially in The Sims 2: Apartment Life and The Sims 3. In these games, each additional adult or elder adds §5,000 to your starting money.
In The Sims 3, a single-Sim household starts with §16,500, while a household with multiple Sims can have up to §30,500. This amount depends on the number and ages of your Sims.
Here's a breakdown of how starting money is calculated in The Sims 3:
In The Sims 4, you'll start with §20,000, plus §2,000 for each Sim beyond the first. This applies to Sims of any life stage, as well as pets.
The Sims 4: Fast Earning Methods
If you're looking to earn Simoleons quickly in The Sims 4, there are a few methods you can try.
One way is to use the Digital Sketchpad or the Woodworking table, but this method comes with an overhead cost. However, there's another method that may make the most money without any extra expenses.
This method involves creating crafts that can be sold, and in The Sims 4, you can set up street tables and galleries to sell your collectibles and paintings. The price you set is completely up to you, ranging from 0% to 300%.
You can also earn money by completing opportunities and choosing wisely when given a career chance card.
Here are some starting money facts to keep in mind:
Additionally, you can earn money by working for it. Sims can receive a steady income by working in a career or profession that gives them a regular salary or stipend.
The Sims Games
The Sims games offer a range of ways to earn Simoleons, from cheats to in-game activities.
In The Sims, you can use cheats like "rosebud" or "klapaucius" to get 1,000 Simoleons. These cheats can be used repeatedly without opening a new cheat box by typing in !;!;!;x and holding Enter.
The Sims 3 has a maximum lot value of §2,147,483,647, which is more than 21 times the maximum household value. This is due to the game's use of signed 32-bit integers.
Here are some cheats for The Sims:
- rosebud or klapaucius - 1,000 Simoleons ("klapaucius" only works in the unpatched version)
- kaching - 1,000 Simoleons
- motherlode - 50,000 Simoleons
The Sims 3
The Sims 3 has a maximum furnished value for lots, which is §2,147,483,647.
This value is determined by signed 32-bit integers, a measurement system that was first used in production hardware in 1970-1972.
Reaching this value is highly unrealistic in regular play, and it's very difficult to achieve unmodded, especially without certain cheats or mods.
One possible trick to speed up the process is to edit an object's OBJD file's price in the game's or expansion pack's FullBuild0.package file to somewhere in the tens or hundreds of millions.

Flower Arranging in The 4
To get started with Flower Arranging in The Sims 4, you'll need the Seasons Expansion Pack. This pack introduces the Gardener career with two tracks: Botanist and Floral Arranger.
The Floral Arranger track is a skill that can be improved and used to become incredibly wealthy quickly. To take advantage of this method, start a new game with the Seasons Expansion installed and choose Spring as your starting season.
In Build/Buy Mode, purchase a starter pack of flower seeds for each season, a few planters, Burtie's Bee Box, and a Flower Arranging Table. All these can be found in the Outdoor Activities category in Buy Mode.
You'll also want to invest in a few Sprinkle-O-Matic sprinklers for faster and more consistent plant watering. This will save you time in the long run.
To organize your flowers, open the seed packets and plant the flowers in planter boxes rather than in the ground. This will help you keep track of each type of flower.
