If you want a lot of money, but you want to try to build up your sim's skills, but you don't have a lot of time. . .do this! Put your sim in the Military career. For pretty much every level, you only work 3-4 days. And when you reach level 10, you only work on Mondays. But, you work from around 5 a.m. To 1 a.m. An all day job. But you can make $6,000 and more in that ONE day! And if you have more than one sim in that feild, PERFECT! It would help if you unlocked the lifetime rewards: Hardly Hungry, Dirt Defiant, and Steel Bladder. That way, once your sim gets home after a hard day's work, all they need to do really is to sleep and build up their fun (: I hope I helped! I think this is a LOT better than a cheat because, unlike cheats, you can still do challanges! Happy money making! XD
