hey no worries earning money in game is fun too.... just takes longer to get up grades and stuff to make the peeps happy ;-)

of course that being said this is coming from a person whose favorite use of sims 3 built in cheat system is to give her sims as many simoleons as she can so they never have to worry about whether or not they can get all the recipes and skill books that they want... and i as player can build them the house i want them to have without having to be constrained by limited funds.
