Is this the fastest way to earn $1,000,000 Simoleons?

[@blahblahblahEMILY]

A way that this could have gone at least a little faster would have been if you had made the shack a tiny home. Plants grow twice as quickly in micro homes

[@BlckSWANWhtRbbt]

Plus the lot traits that help gardening and fertilizing earlier would probably help.

[@kgrdfyu]

And add spellcaster to the family XD

[@DoveJS]

I feel like this and him also increasing mischief and stealing things would've helped a lot. And/or dumpster diving and repairing the stuff he finds!

I’m guessing it’s giving conveniently located suggestions for different gameplay. You want to try something new, aren’t coming up with an idea, and don’t feel like looking anything up.

few things i have to say as someone who regularly plays rags to riches in my game. 1. micro home is ur best option for literally anything 2. having a tent gets ur fun and sleep up at the same time and u can bring it with u everywhere, including the magic realm 3. having the game on 7 day seasons so you can keep reaping the 500 reward points of the holidays is the easiest way to get the money tree (besides flipping back and forth between aspirations)

[@thalianaruiz3521]

Plus instead of doing the "Under what conditions?" option when he got the phone call for it, if he had done the option that prompted the getting married in seven days, married a rich townie, he could've gotten not only the rich townie's money but also the bonus money of getting married within the seven days.

[@relaximatroll2118]

On of the fastest way to earn money is by selling your Masterpiece paintings on Plopsy. The highest I got is on a Surrealism painting valued at about 42K simoleons for that painting alone. EDIT: I have the Marketable trait.

[@Christine-zb6ml]

omg i need to try that

You can make the trees or any plants perfect really easily if you are a good gardener and a spellcaster. Take cuttings of the plants until they die, then you can magic them back to life. If you do that, they come back ready to evolve. This way they can be perfect in a day.

[@sabrinaloizides-merideth9874]

I think I did this one in 9 days. I went the opposite route and had my Sim become a vampire and he was a painter and crafter because selling paintings on Plopsy makes scads of money. We did eventually have a money tree but it was just one. here's the kicker, though...halfway through the challenge, my Sim had twin aliens.

[@basicallyeliaden]

I did that scenario also as spellcaster with the money tree. In the cooldown phases I worked on my golden chicken. By the time the trees were big, they were also the best level.

James, if you switch your inventory selection to "multi-select" you can sell items that you could not otherwise sell.

This would be fun as a livestream series.

[@MagisterCobb]

I did a similar run about a year or so ago. After I got the money tree, when the tree was bearing fruit, instead of selling the fruit, I put the trees in my inventory which allowed me to collect the fruit which I then in turn planted. I was on the big lot in Newcrest and I wanted to see how much I could make in one day. I got the tree farm up to a 20 x 20 square and then did my first big sale and netted over three million simoleons in one day. It took me 26 days to get to that point. I may try it again now and see how quick I can get to one million.

I ended up going the copypasto route myself, but instead of money trees I repeatedly duped the flower arrangements from the flower arranging skill.

The other Realm of Magic combo is Repario on Flower Arrangements. They all become pristine and excellent quality, and then you can sell them super expensive. Many people commented the inferniate-insurance money-Repario infinite loop, which is amazing. Last but not least, Copypasto works on fully grown money trees, so you can make one tree excellent quality and then copypasto it to infinity.

Yay this is great! Also you can just drag things again to your inventory to achieve collecting aspiration. 👌🏻

[@charitycodes]

Taking the magic route is hard because you need to level your spell caster to have a chance to get the copypasto spell. Money trees also take time to grow. I think the fastest way is just to level flower arranging and sell them on the vendor table. Painting is OK, but I usually don't see much over $1-2k. Flower arranging gives you consistent $4k-$6k base (level 10) and that sells for $16k-$24k on the selling table at 300% markup. A tiny home and quick learner aspiration will get things going. Also, buy a lot for close to $20k in the beginning and you can sell the stuff in the house to get your flower arranging table. The quickest way by far though, is to make a holiday where Father Winter appears and take his $500k simoleons. :P While waiting for him, go around the rich houses and get people to move in with you taking their stuff and selling it.

I started the scenario in December and decided to do it in conjunction with my Cottage Living Rags to Riches. Well, my sim completed her aspiration, went from an empty plot of land to a full function farm with a beautiful two story house, found her partner, had him complete his aspiration, and now they're about to have kids and I have made about 250,000 using just the Cottage Living means (canning, animal products, cross stitch, and basic gardening). And I kind of feel like I've gotten what I want from Rags to Riches and Cottage Living so that scenario million still looms in the distance. So... I'm going to tear up those giant crops and begin the mass dragon fruit garden and call it a day 😅

[@evabelle5284]

For people who don’t have a magic sim you can splice the money tree, and graft it on other plants so it produces money fruit

[@FlamesAndShadows]

Idk Repairio is also very powerful. You'll always have fresh perfect quality meals out of any garbage you make or find. Same goes for increasing value of craftables, which in turn makes you more powerful at a good pace. Copypasto, unless its a plant is best used in public lots as its automatically sends copies back into your inventory and you don't need to pick everything up. Other growing spell should be used on an empty patch of dirt and spawns a random already grown plant. Teleportation spell is the best for increasing your magic potential and buying perks quickly, but keep an eye on your charge until it ceases to be a problem

[@yasminni485]

FYI: since you are playing with a spellcaster, I learned recently that if your sim learns the spell Deliciouso they can magic themselves a Golden Honey milk (and also a snagglefluster, by the way)... then you can use the "golden pulse" and make all your plants perfect. Since you have so many plants I advise to have a few Golden Honey milks in your inventory as it lasts just 2-3 sim hours. You'd make a million in no time at all.

[@revannia]

I've done this one a few times trying out different ways to make money. I forgot about spellcasters but did try cloning thru Scientist career in one play through - that wasn't my fastest one but wasn't the longest either. Fastest was 12 days doing painting mostly (mainly on sketchpad) with gardening to supplement and switching aspirations to get enough points for money trees asap. I wanted to do a money tree orchard one but doing it without magic or cloning would take longer than 12 days, I think. I used to be able to harvest seeds from trees but it was random and it may have been a bug. There was a cheat you could do where you put the tree in household inventory and it would give you some seeds but I haven't tried that recently. I may have to try this challenge again :)
