In this post I am going to explain how to easily make 10,000 simoleons in less than 2 hours! I was using 10 sims to do this so if you are using less sims it will take you longer to reach 10,000 but if you are using more sims it will take you less time!
Firstly make sure your sims are inspired (sparkling) to do this you need to fill up their bars by fulfilling all their needs, once they are inspired they will sparkle and earn more money when baking and gardening which is really important for this:
We are going to continuously grow carrots using 10 sims every 5 minutes. As you can see in the image above sims will earn S48 growing carrots when inspired compared to S32 normally (which including the S3 cost for growing them leaves your sims with S45 each time rather than S29)
This table shows exactly how much money I made from this method in just over an hour:
Minutes |
Amount |
|---|---|
| 0 (starting amount) | S140,875 |
| 5 | S141,625 |
| 10 | S142,175 |
| 15 | S142,725 |
| 20 | S143,275 |
| 25 | S144,125 |
| 30 | S144,775 |
| 35 | S145,425 |
| 40 | S146,375 |
| 45 | S146,945 |
| 50 | S147,395 |
| 55 | S148,085 |
| 60 (1hr) | S148,655 |
| 65 (1h5m) | S149,465 |
| 70 (1h10m) | S150,275 |
| 75 (1h15m) | S150,965 |
I used this method while trying to complete the Multi Story Renovations Quest in the time limit, I only had S140,000 and I needed S150,000 to build the community center and after 1 hour 15 minutes I had enough money!
This is really easy to do when watching TV in the evening, you can put your sims onto grow carrots and then set a timer on your device for 5 minutes so you remember to go back onto the game regularly
Other money making tips:
- Remember to upgrade your island monuments, you randomly get simoleon bonuses when gardening, baking and working when you upgrade The Riches of Terra
- Lettuce is no longer as risky to grow as it used to be, it still may turn into a sim eating plant but you can usually now watch an advert to still get a reward rather than negotiating with it (it isn’t the full amount but I got S310 and 120XP each time I did this) this doesn’t work every time though (thanks Catharina for this tip!)
- As well as being a great way to earn LP the cooking hobby earns you a lot of simoleons too! Read this post for more information

The Girl Who Games 
Whenever I have time (like during this quarantine for example), I plant bell peppers. I’ve gained about 8k, give or take a couple hundred, in twenty minutes by using 10 sims to garden. My simoleon bonus is currently 185 which has helped me a lot when using this method.
I’m getting about $2,500,000 Simoleans every 3 days. After completing Sandy Suburbs, you’ll have access to the SS Library. Build it, then strip it down to nothing. Sell every single light fixture, window, doorway, bookcase, and chair. Everything. This should put $3,273,935 in your bank. Demolish the Library. Build it again for $823,894. Wait 3 days, and net about $2.45 million. I’m at level 33, so your results may be higher or lower, but it’s good, good money!
Making 20 thousand in 2 hours!
For the same 10 sims, have 9 at one house planting corn (one story mansion that has luxury car). With the last sims, drive the car and collect beeps. The car earns about a hundred simoleons a minute and planting makes 1200+ every 20 minutes (earnings after buying corn seed in bulk from grocery store). With more sims at another house, the earnings increase.
I have done it with 3 cars at once but it is too hectic for me to run around the map looking for music 🎵
Instead, I make sure the driver is in the house each time. While he/she runs for the car, tap to go to the city map. The screen follows the car.
Building rents pop up too, but, tapping on them, I need to tap on the car again to follow it. Easy to do since the car has the green bob.
I’ve done the cooking hobby too but this is less stressful if I want to actually watch a movie 🎥
Thanks for the tip!
