Of course, you'll get paid if you put your Sim on a career path and we’ve outlined the best career paths to help you earn top wages. You can also use some Sims 4 career cheats to boost your progression, if you're not completely against cheating. Or, we've got details on a hobby that will, eventually, pay incredibly well. But, if you're looking for fast and easy results, look no further than our best Sims 4 money cheat codes. Let's get into it - here's how to make money fast in The Sims 4.
How to earn more money in The Sims 4
All of The Sims 4 career paths require hard work. To progress, you'll need to grind your skills levels (or you could use Sims 4 skill cheats), balance your mood, and show up on time to become a top tier earner. There are ways to increase the speed to help you along the way, such as using Sims 4 relationship cheats to build important work connections, but you still need to show up every working day. Because of that, here are some of the salaries you can expect for top tier career positions to help you maximise your take home:
- Astronaut - Interstellar Smuggler: 413 simoleons per hour
- Tech Guru - Start Up Genius/Entrepreneur: 516 simoleons per hour
- Culinary - Celebrity Chef: 410 simoleons per hour
It's worth mentioning that as well as Simoleons, following career paths can also unlock exclusive social interactions, like bragging about your startup, items for your home, and even whole rooms. Or, if you're not opposed to a little cheating, you can use the Sims 4 debug cheat to gain access to all sorts of items.
Make money fast in The Sims 4 by painting
But even if the work perks can't tempt you to a 9-5, one way to earn some serious Simoleons in The Sims 4 is to invest in an easel and get busy with a paintbrush. Small paintings offer the best return on investment, and if you stick to one style and keep painting them over and over, your skill level will increase and your paintings will sell for more. If you really want to commit, make sure your Sim is in the creative mood by taking a 'Thoughtful Shower' first.
