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:

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!)

THIS EVENT IS OVER
Complete this brand new live event (starts 3rd September) to unlock new dining themed items and if you complete the whole event in the time limit you unlock the fine diner restaurant template. This event is only here for 9 days and the aim of it is to collect enough arts and crafts items from the arts and crafts stations (found in the event tab of buy mode) to unlock all the items in this event
NOTE: if you did another Live Event then you will find your arts and crafts stations in your inventory (or in the house you left them at) you will only be able to use the candle ones until you unlock the other stations in this event
Can’t find your arts and crafts stations?Click on the craft station in your event tab to get the option to find your station, it will take you to the house where your stations can be found!
Place a crafting station (find the candle station in the events tab of buy mode (or your inventory)- you can only buy 4)
Make some arts and crafts items (click on the candle station to make)- 23 seconds
This takes you to the prize progress tab (you can get to it by clicking on the glasses button in the corner of the screen)
Here you will see you have collected enough items to unlock the Wondrous Wall pack! When you unlock each pack, before the items are available in your home store you need to purchase them with the arts and crafts items you make- this goal is coming up!
Restock a crafting station (when the stock runs out you will have to restock before you can make anymore arts and crafts items)- You can restock instantly for 18 uses for 10SP or restock for 2 uses which will take 10 seconds this time
Buy the Wondrous Wall pack (click on the glasses event button, scroll down and click purchase- this will cost you 50 candles)
Use a coin flower patch (buy the coin flower patch from the event tab and select the spin plant option)
Check the daily goals (click on the drinks event button and find the daily goals tab- claim the ones you can!)
Remember to claim your rewards each day!
Collect bonuses (while collecting after a certain amount of time you will see the arts and crafts item appear above that sims head, click to collect the bonus item!)
Continue collecting arts and crafts items- this is the last step but the event is not over, keep collecting the arts and crafts to unlock everything!
If you want to speed up a collecting arts and crafts action it will cost you SPs, you will get the bonus arts and craft items as well if you speed it up!

Restock 18 uses which happens instantly but will cost you 10SP or
Restock 9 uses which will take you 2 hours 30 minutes but will be free
NOTE:
if you store the station you will lose all the stock so when you place it again you will need to restock

26.Fine Diner- you can only claim this pack if you have purchased all the other packs in this live event
This house can be found under the driveway homes tab and built on a standard or premium residence, the first one is free then they cost simoleons depending on how many houses you have already built. You can add up to 4 cars to this house lot!
The other three car parking spaces need to be unlocked by purchasing with simoleons:
Additional Space One: S250,000
Additional Space Two: S750,000
Additional Space Three: S1,500,000
Once you purchase an additional space you will be able to add another car but you need to have more than one adult/senior sim living in this house to add more than one car otherwise it will just switch their car to the new one you have just brought. For example if you wanted 3 cars in this house you need 3 adult or senior sims living in this house.
The restaurant is the same on both the standard and premium, the only thing that differs is the patio area is bigger on the premium residence, although you only get two more tables even though there is a lot more room!
I don’t really see the point in building this on a house lot, it seems a waste of room when you could build a house instead as we already have a restaurant in Simtown!
Watch my tour of this house here:
Constructor Coins
You earn constructor coins by:
Personal Progress prizes
Completing Daily Goals
Coin Plant Patches
Earning Constructor Coins? Previously on these events I used social points on the Mega Spin Plant to win constructor points. I earn social points by completing the cooking hobby and earning LP, I can then turn the LP into SP using the social point plant on a normal garden patch- this was when it cost 5LP- the social point plant now costs 20LP so you may want to try the option below first instead:
Or you can use 450 candles for the Spin Plant (a good way to use up any spare candles) which will also earn you constructor coins but the amounts are less than they are from the Mega Spin Plant
What is the minimum and maximum amount of coins you can earn on the mega spin plant? The minimum is 10 and the maximum is 500
Now on the coin flower patch you can see the chances of getting the different combinations on each spin plant, click on the green i button to see:
Laura Craft? You may have noticed at the front of one of your houses there is a board with a bubble of a person holding arts and crafts items above it, this is Laura Craft, you can buy her for real money to help you complete the event. When you buy her, you select the item you want her to make from the options: 200 candles, 300 pottery, 450 jewelry or 500 glassware (the amounts seem to differ for most of you and I have no idea why that is!) (you will unlock all the options once you have unlocked all the stations) and you will be able to collect them after 2 hours.
Do I think she is worth it? They have improved Laura Craft a lot since the first event (although it would be great if she made constructor coins) she used to be able to collect every 8 hours, they have now changed this to 2 hours so she is more useful now so if you are struggling then you may want to splash out and give her a try but remember you will only get her for this event, you will have to buy her again to use her for a live event in the future. I personally don’t ever buy her, if I don’t manage to earn enough items or coins in the time limit I just wait until the next time the event is available!
If I brought Laura Craft in the last event do I get her for free or do I have to buy her again? You have to buy her again for this event.
The Backyard Beautification Live Event is back again for 9 days on the 7th August, complete in the 9 day time limit to unlock furniture, decor and planters for your sims gardens! If you completed this event last time it was available you will not get it again, if you started it last time but didn’t complete it you will start from where you got to last time, for example if you only had one prize pack left to buy you will only have to collect enough resources to buy that prize pack to complete the event.
NOTE: if you did another Live Event then you will find your arts and crafts stations in your inventory (or in the house you left them at) you will only be able to use the candle ones until you unlock the other stations in this event
Can’t find your arts and crafts stations?Click on the craft station in your event tab to get the option to find your station, it will take you to the house where your stations can be found!
Place a crafting station (find the candle station in the events tab of buy mode (or your inventory)- you can only buy 4)
Make some arts and crafts items (click on the candle station to make)- 23 seconds
This takes you to the prize progress tab (you can get to it by clicking on the planter event button in the corner of the screen)
Here you will see you have collected enough items to unlock the Plantable Rose Starter Kit! When you unlock each pack, before the items are available in your home store you need to purchase them with the arts and crafts items you make- this goal is coming up!
Restock a crafting station (when the stock runs out you will have to restock before you can make anymore arts and crafts items)- You can restock instantly for 18 uses for 10SP or restock for 2 uses which will take 10 seconds this time
Buy the Plantable Rose Starter Kit pack (click on the planter event button, scroll down and click purchase- this will cost you 50 candles)
Use a coin flower patch (buy the coin flower patch from the event tab and select the spin plant option)
Check the daily goals (click on the drinks event button and find the daily goals tab- claim the ones you can!)
Remember to claim your rewards each day!
Collect bonuses (while collecting after a certain amount of time you will see the arts and crafts item appear above that sims head, click to collect the bonus item!)
Continue collecting arts and crafts items- this is the last step but the event is not over, keep collecting the arts and crafts to unlock everything!
If you want to speed up a collecting arts and crafts action it will cost you SP, you will get the bonus arts and craft items as well if you speed it up!

20.Social Points
21.Constructor Coins
22. Designer Backyard
You will only unlock the designer backyard if you manage to buy all the other prizes in the time limit, the first one built is free after that they will cost simoleons.
What is the difference between the standard and premium residence?The house is exactly the same, the only difference is the garden:
Personally I don’t like this house template, if you want to unlock items from some previous events then you can find loads of them in this house but I think I will just be building my own! This house is also the same as the Brilliant Backyard house template so if you completed that live event you already have this house, the only thing that is different is the garden.
Earning Constructor Coins? Previously on these events I used social points on the Mega Spin Plant to win constructor points. I earn social points by completing the cooking hobby and earning LP, I can then turn the LP into SP using the social point plant on a normal garden patch- this was when it cost 5LP- the social point plant now costs 20LP so you may want to try the option below first instead:
Or you can use 450 candles for the Spin Plant (a good way to use up any spare candles) which will also earn you constructor coins but the amounts are less than they are from the Mega Spin Plant
What is the minimum and maximum amount of coins you can earn on the mega spin plant? The minimum is 10 and the maximum is 500
Now on the coin flower patch you can see the chances of getting the different combinations on each spin plant, click on the green i button to see:
Laura Craft? You may have noticed at the front of one of your houses there is a board with a bubble of a person holding arts and crafts items above it, this is Laura Craft, you can buy her for real money to help you complete the event. When you buy her, you select the item you want her to make from the options: 200 candles, 300 pottery, 450 jewelry or 500 glassware (the amounts seem to differ for most of you and I have no idea why that is!) (you will unlock all the options once you have unlocked all the stations) and you will be able to collect them after 2 hours.
Do I think she is worth it? They have improved Laura Craft a lot since the first event (although it would be great if she made constructor coins) she used to be able to collect every 8 hours, they have now changed this to 2 hours so she is more useful now so if you are struggling then you may want to splash out and give her a try but remember you will only get her for this event, you will have to buy her again to use her for a live event in the future. I personally don’t ever buy her, if I don’t manage to earn enough items or coins in the time limit I just wait until the next time the event is available!
If I brought Laura Craft in the last event do I get her for free or do I have to buy her again? You have to buy her again for this event.
Firstly sorry that it has taken so long to make this post, as you probably know it takes a very long time to upgrade all the monuments! In this post I will be covering the resources needed to upgrade each monument on the Mysterious Island (including the cost to buy them with LP) what each upgrade looks like and also what happens when all your monuments have been upgraded.
What are the monuments and what level do I unlock them?
A pop up will appear when you have enough resources to upgrade a monument, once you do head to the mysterious island, click on the monument and click ‘upgrade now’:
How long does it take to upgrade when you click ‘upgrade now’?
The upgrade is instant
Where do I find the resources needed to upgrade the monuments?
Your sims will receive these randomly when they complete actions, you will see the resource symbol appear above their head when they earn one:
Some resources are rarer than others so it will take you longer to find:
Gold (The Riches of Terra)
Magma Embers (The Flames of Wisdom)
Essence of Wind (The Tempest of Bliss)
Pearl (The Springs of Fortune)
Your sims will still earn these at random but they will find them less than the other 8 resources:
Pickaxe and Granite (The Riches of Terra)
Igneous Rock and Bronze (The Flames of Wisdom)
Onyx and Bamboo (The Tempest of Bliss)
Limestone and Chisel (The Springs of Fortune)
I can’t find a resource, what should I do?
You could use LP to buy a resource if you are stuck, each resource you need will cost 3LP so if you need 2 Gold then it will cost you 6LP (the tables below show how many LP you would need to buy every resource) However I would suggest you keep reading first to see if it is really worth spending all your LP on!
What is the point of upgrading the monuments?
Upgrading the monuments earns you a bonus or perk which is different for each monument:
The Riches of Terra- simoleon bonus when gardening, baking and working
The Flames of Wisdom- bonus XP after using objects, gardening, baking and working
The Tempest of Bliss- decreases rate in which sims motives drain (their needs bars don’t decrease as quickly so they stay happier for longer)
The Springs of Fortune- increases chance of getting XP and simoleon bonuses from Riches of Terra and Flames of Wisdom
The bonuses are given randomly when you complete actions (it will appear above your sims head or on the pop up when they finish work) so you won’t get them for everything your sims do but the more you upgrade the monuments the higher the bonus and the more often you will receive it (especially when you start upgrading the Springs of Fortune)
How many resources do I need for each upgrade and what do I get when I upgrade them?
The Riches of Terra:unlocks at level 10
simoleon bonus when gardening, baking and working
The LP amounts in the table below show how much it would cost to buy the resources with LP (it costs 3LP for each resource needed)
Visual Upgrade is when the monument looks different (see the picture above to see how it changes as it is upgraded) and Houseboat Unlocked is when you unlock a houseboat plot so your sims can live on a boat!

What happens when you upgrade all the monuments to level 25? When you reach level 25 you unlock the Volcano which is really disappointing, all you get when the volcano ‘erupts’ every 24 hours is S750 and 500XP:
Do I need to upgrade the monuments past level 25? You don’t need to as level 25 is when you unlock the volcano but all the monuments can reach level 70, upgrading them to this level gives you the highest perk which means:
You could earn 625 bonus simoleons when your sims complete actions (The Riches of Terra)
You could earn 575 bonus XP when your sims complete actions (The Flames of Wisdom)
The rate your sims motives decrease would be 57.5% (The Tempest of Bliss)
Your chance of earning bonus simoleons and XP from The Riches of Terra and The Flames of Wisdom when your sims complete actions increases by 164% (The Springs of Fortune)
The dream daycare event is back again for 11 days from the 27th June to unlock toddler and infant content! If you completed this event last time it was available you will not get it again, if you started it last time but didn’t complete it you will start from where you got to last time, for example if you only had one prize pack left to buy you will only have to collect enough resources to buy that prize pack to complete the event.
NOTE: if you did another Live Event then you will find your arts and crafts stations in your inventory (or in the house you left them at) you will only be able to use the candle ones until you unlock the other stations in this event
Can’t find your arts and crafts stations?Click on the craft station in your event tab to get the option to find your station, it will take you to the house where your stations can be found!
Place a crafting station (find the candle station in the events tab of buy mode (or your inventory)- you can only buy 4)
Make some arts and crafts items (click on the candle station to make)- 23 seconds
This takes you to the prize progress tab (you can get to it by clicking on the daycare button in the corner of the screen)
Here you will see you have collected enough items to unlock the Moonlight Siesta pack! When you unlock each pack, before the items are available in your home store you need to purchase them with the arts and crafts items you make- this goal is coming up!
Restock a crafting station (when the stock runs out you will have to restock before you can make anymore arts and crafts items)- You can restock instantly for 18 uses for 10SP or restock for 2 uses which will take 10 seconds this time
Buy the Moonlight Siesta pack (click on the daycare event button, scroll down and click purchase- this will cost you 50 candles) NOTE: you will not get this goal if you completed it in this event last time
Use a coin flower patch (buy the coin flower patch from the event tab and select the spin plant option)

Remember to claim your rewards each day!
Collect bonuses (while collecting after a certain amount of time you will see the arts and crafts item appear above that sims head, click to collect the bonus item!)
Continue collecting arts and crafts items- this is the last step but the event is not over, keep collecting the arts and crafts to unlock everything!
If you want to speed up a collecting arts and crafts action it will cost you SP, you will get the bonus arts and craft items as well if you speed it up!

You earn constructor coins by:

Completing Daily Goals
Coin Plant Patches
Earning Constructor Coins? Previously on these events I used social points on the Mega Spin Plant to win constructor points. I earn social points by completing the cooking hobby and earning LP, I can then turn the LP into SP using the social point plant on a normal garden patch- this was when it cost 5LP- the social point plant now costs 20LP so you may want to try the option below first instead:
Or you can use 450 candles for the Spin Plant (a good way to use up any spare candles) which will also earn you constructor coins but the amounts are less than they are from the Mega Spin Plant
What is the minimum and maximum amount of coins you can earn on the mega spin plant? The minimum is 10 and the maximum is 500
Now on the coin flower patch you can see the chances of getting the different combinations on each spin plant, click on the green i button to see:
Laura Craft? You may have noticed at the front of one of your houses there is a board with a bubble of a person holding arts and crafts items above it, this is Laura Craft, you can buy her for real money to help you complete the event. When you buy her, you select the item you want her to make from the options: 200 candles, 300 pottery, 450 jewelry or 500 glassware (the amounts seem to differ for most of you and I have no idea why that is!) (you will unlock all the options once you have unlocked all the stations) and you will be able to collect them after 2 hours.
Do I think she is worth it? They have improved Laura Craft a lot since the first event (although it would be great if she made constructor coins) she used to be able to collect every 8 hours, they have now changed this to 2 hours so she is more useful now so if you are struggling then you may want to splash out and give her a try but remember you will only get her for this event, you will have to buy her again to use her for a live event in the future. I personally don’t ever buy her, if I don’t manage to earn enough items or coins in the time limit I just wait until the next time the event is available!
If I brought Laura Craft in the last event do I get her for free or do I have to buy her again? You have to buy her again for this event.
