Title: This is nuts - Easy Money Post by: DarkAmaranth on September 07, 2008, 09:45:09 pm Okay, I had to try it twice to belive it but, you can get free furniture and, actually get paid to move in and out.
First build an apartment, funish it with the best of everything, money is no object. now, once you've zoned it and are at the neighborhhood turn testing cheats on (ctrl+shift+c then type boolprop testingcheatsenabled true) Chose a family, or create one and move them into the apartment you built and funished. Shift+click the door and rent funished apartment. Save as you exit the lot, move the family back to the bin from the neighborhood screen. Now move them back in to the same lot and again rent the apartment funished. Repeat the move in, move out as often as you want. Each time your family will get the value of the furnishings that would normally be deleted when you rent but, the furniture stays in the apartment. Example: Single sim moved in and rented furnished - funds 18,883. Move out then in again 98,078 and again, 177,273. Same apartment and always furnished.

(kaching, motherlode, familyfunds, money... now this)
It's basically the same way with the original maxis furnished houses, by moving them in and back out... only with the furnished apartments, you get way more money than losing out. :toothy5: Title: This is nuts - Easy Money Post by: ancienthighway on September 08, 2008, 01:05:51 am It's all a matter of how you play the game. If you are one that has to have all the money in the nicest houses with skills and job maxed out, there are ways to make it happen so you can do whatever after that.
If you don't play that way, you don't have to use the cheats. Title: I prefer the motherload cheat Post by: Wembeley on September 21, 2008, 03:47:43 pm It's so much easier, sounds like moving in and out of apartments would take a lot of time loading the lots etc. I always create a small empty lot in every neighborhood, move new families in there bring up the cheat window and type motherlode then repeat until they have at least 500k. I'm too impatient to use other methods.

Title: This is nuts - Easy Money Post by: ~simaholic on October 02, 2008, 10:03:11 pm I live on familyfunds cheat. It is so easy and you can give them lots or little money. I usually give them lots of money and once they are settled and the whole house is furnished I leave them with only 10 000 simoleons :D
Title: This is nuts - Easy Money Post by: TheLibrarySim on October 06, 2008, 09:56:46 pm I try not to motherlode or kaching if I can help it. I used to buy the "Flowing Waters" picture (or whatever it was called) for $300 and then sell it back after midnight for $2000, or the Dream Catcher ($50 buy, $1760 sellback), but those don't seem to work. It's to the point now where I actually have to get some of my Sims jobs! Luckily, if you're reputation is high enough and you correctly schmooze the right Sim, you'll be offered a job at around Level 5-you get the Aspiration benefit first thing and some handy salary.
Who knows-maybe there's another painting out there that you can buy cheap and sell dear the next day. |
