When the genie is good, he’s great.
When he’s bad, your house catches on fire or floods or incurs extra bills.
High risk, high reward.
As such, many players will be looking for extra ways to make money.
From gargoyles to golden thread, here are some ways to make extra Simoleons in The Sims Ultimate Edition.
This allows Sims to create six preserve jars.
It’s fairly quick and builds cooking skills.
Alternatively, you could add them to your inventory to gift to other Sims.
Your Sim can collect beeswax and honey from it.
You’ll get beeswax and a little honey from each harvest.
Every three harvests the honey jar will be filled.
The symbols in the chat bubbles suggest these are some interesting conversations you’re having.
Both the items can be sold for $60 at maximum cooking skill.
So long as you max out your mechanical skill, and keep your mood up.
Two of these are butter and golden thread.
Butter is made with the Old-Fashioned Butter Churn, available for $447 in buy mode.
The Prick-Me-Not Spinning Wheel is a little cheaper at $417 and makes golden thread.
Both items sell for $166 and take a similar time to create.
Painting also continues to build creativity skill and often increases fun need as well.
Unlike in later games, it doesn’t cost to buy a canvas.
However, it is very difficult to create a masterpiece, which can sell for up to $500.
Don’t bank on this skill making you millions anymore.
it’s possible for you to buy the ingredients from the market in Magic Town.
With a maxed out cooking skill, all nectar sells for $500 a bottle.
it’s possible for you to also buy elderberry and grape vines and grow them in your garden.
It takes time but reduces your costs even more.
If you’ve missed work, it will be your boss giving you a warning.
Even if you don’t answer.
Apart from this, answering the phone is a little like the lottery, but with better odds.
Getting a job is easy enough in The Sims, but actually keeping one can be a real challenge.
Amounts vary from $500 up to over $1,500, all for nothing.
So confirm you get your Sims to answer that phone.
The best items for this are paintings, but they aren’t all the same.
The best way to work out the most profitable items is to experiment.
We recommend the Japanese Fan.
It only costs $81 and its value increases fast.
Buy a decorative item and note the value.
Check the next Sim day and see how much it has increased.
If you could work out the formula, you are much better at math than we are.
but in this game we are in a pre-motherlode era.
That’s right, your $50,000 is a little trickier to earn this time around.
Luckily, it’s still possible, and easy.
Instead, you’ll want to throw in in Rosebud for a cool $1,000.
For those with bigger dreams, it’s possible for you to do Rosebud;!
which you add onto the end grants you an extra $1,000.
So go get that mansion!
Learn how to build the house of your dreams.
