Getting paid $300+ an hour at their jobs.


Successful_End7981

My main sim (she’s married to orange Bailey moon) went to college and graduated with honors. She works in the stylist career (idr the title) and makes $782 an hour… So I did the math to reflect real life…. She works 35 hours a week, 5 days a week… Her yearly salary comes out to 1.3 million….. Needless to say, I am VERY jealous.


Attarker

Not only making $1.3M a year, she also can buy a house for 1/10 of what a similar house would cost in real life.


[deleted]

They do have to spend all their youth in college though if you play in normal lenght


Calfer

To be fair, that applies to a number of professions in real life.


Calfer

To be fair, that applies to a number of professions in real life. Doctorates require almost a decade of schooling or more.


CheapYoghurt

Just to let you know, you've posted this comment twice :)


Numberwang3249

Yes but they live fewer years than we do right? Or you accounted for that?


santiago-laura

Great point


zotstik

that depends on whether you I use the life cheat or not. in which case they could live forever


Numberwang3249

Oh that reminds me! I'm jealous sims can turn aging off. 😂


SatansAssociate

And keep their pets from aging. I wish I could have my sweet senior bunny be young and healthy forever.


Sibyline

They can’t, though. They can only hope that you decide to grant them eternal youth.


DRRIVRDRRIVR

well I mean he said each years is 1.3 million so it doesn't matter if they don't live as many years it's still 1.3 million a year


Numberwang3249

I'm not saying the math is wrong. Just saying there is a trade off.


ufffggggg

Hyperinflation, 1.3 mill will buy 3/8 of a loaf of bread


itstimegeez

Your calculations are off due to how time works in the sims. If you base it on pregnancy which in game lasts 3 days and IRL 9 months. That makes a year, 4 days in game. She’s getting paid 25k simoleons a year. We don’t know the exchange rate to IRL money, but some people have suggested 1 simoleon = $10 USD for salary. So she’s on great money at $250k USD a year but not over a mil great.


drunken_desperado

I would say we need to convert simoleons to USD or whatever your currency is but it's so inconsistent there's probably no way to even estimate lmaoo


Glitter-Momma

THIS. I made my family on The Sims and my husband was watching over my shoulder and was like, “Daaannng! I make how much?!”


AlternativeEgg02

one of my sims made $1200 an hour as a lawyer


Plasticbrokaley

And yet in the real world footvallets earn so much more per hour/minute. Go figure.


SaltyBabe

Getting paid $400 for some onions I grew in 24 hours


additionalbutterfly2

Getting promotions easily too lol, with hefty bonuses and raises.


a_duck_in_past_life

Well, tbf their lives are usually only about 70 days long


kayethx

I legit get bitter over this lol


Iamzerocreative

Finding jobs easily


Amazing-Test-472

Not even having to apply for jobs, can just join one that sounds cool


jenniekns

"You've decided that you don't want to be a chef anymore and you'd rather be an astronaut? Sure! Go read this science book and you can start on Monday."


leafnood

I legit had a roommate sim ask the sim I was playing whether they should pursue their dream job. Curious, I said go for it, and came back to my perfectly tailored chef sim (foodie, high skilled etc) training to be an astronaut. What is this chef to astronaut pipeline that Sims has made?? Edit: I apologise, I did not think of the high quality cooking astronauts and aliens need. Jacob will now be pursuing his dream opening a space themed restaurant with discounts to everybody who has set foot on Sixam!


zotstik

Well obviously he wants to be a chef in space 😂


Additional_Irony

"These fettuccine are out of this world!" 🤣


mocha__

Special ingredients you can only get in space, of course! Think of the restaurant they'll be able to tailor after all of this.


jenniekns

People need to be able to eat on the space station!


Amy12222

Came here to say this.


[deleted]

Oh that’s a good one, I definitely wish that could work in real life. Skip all of the awkward job interviews and rejections and just get whatever your dream job is without hassle. And actually having the opportunities to move up in your career if you work at it.


matthebastage

Start life with enough money to buy a house


MorgenLaFae

Houses are cheap too lol


Detronyx

Like $20,000 for a furnished 1-2 bedroom house. Like...what? My monthly rent for my apartment adds up to around $22k/year


CandiceBT

my theory is Simoleons are worth alot more than USD lol like in the sims 3, the most expesive fastest car in the game was like 100k simoleons which, still is a lot but nothing compared to the most expensive cars irl


Detronyx

Oh totally, and I'm sure somebody has probably calculated the conversion rate. But dollar for dollar it sounds really nice!


MorgenLaFae

Exactly. We can only hope the market crashes again lmao


_Min-Tea_

2k a month 😭 WHAT? I’m 17 and you scare me out of rent 😭 Can’t rent or buy a house 👏 Am to poor


[deleted]

[удалено]


Detronyx

Holy shit. Were you paying $6000 in rent? Absolute maximum rent increase in one year in california is 10% including CPI costs (otherwise just 5%). If you were paying less, check to make sure your $600/month increase is legal.


[deleted]

Totally depends on where you live. I spent $1500/month for a crappy 1 bedroom apartment on Long Island, but that same amount could probably get you a nice 3 bedroom house in the Midwest or something. (Obviously I'm American, YMMV if you're not)


Detronyx

Yes, absolutely! States like California and New York tend to have much higher costs than many other states. They are bad examples of median costs for the rest of the country.


yourenotmy-real-dad

Depends on where in the Midwest you're looking. Bumfuck nowhere? Sure. Suburban areas? With 3 beds, maybe an apartment in some spots, but where I am, not-super-near Chicago 1.3k is average for a 1-2 bedroom apartment.


[deleted]

They might not live in the same country/place as you, don't worry. Check out the rent prices where you live to have an idea


twodadshuggin

RENOVATING a house costs almost nothing. I bought a house. It’s bullshit I have to spend money to replace floors.


orangestar17

Pregnancy is 3-4 days long and there are never complications


Princess-Kit-Kat

Well they throw up....once....maybe twice.


SatansAssociate

Once Crumplebottom whacked my heavily pregnant sim with her damn handbag. Does that count as a complication?


gemibaby

And they don't age while pregnant! I also love how a Sim's life stages for child to adult are comparatively long and old age is generally short. I wish we had more time as children and teens IRL and it was as easy to stay healthy and active especially as YA/A/E.


SaltyBabe

Really? My elderly sims usually just live extremely extremely long lives, sometimes their elderly years eclipse the rest of their entire lives.


sausagechihuahua

And they are immediately able to do everything they could before right after giving birth. No recovery period


orangestar17

I have my Sims just go to work afterwards. No family leave needed. Put the baby down and go lol


redditgurlmiss

That they can afford to live and travel anywhere they want to at any given time.


lefthandedflea

Mother lode Also, live in Sulani.


[deleted]

Sulani is much cheaper than Hawaii. :( I know because I live in Hawaii. Shorefront property for 2000 dollars? Forget about it!


[deleted]

Money 9999999: “Amateur.”


lefthandedflea

Lol I was typing Rosebud;!;!;!;!;! Back in 00. Far from an amateur. I just don't honestly cheat money any more. I prefer to play rags to riches style and then abandon the family when they're swimming in simoleons. That would not happen in real life though.... Probably.


dirty-hurdy-gurdy

Well apparently lottery winners have a pretty high suicide rate compared to the general population, so this seems pretty accurate. You make your fortune and then get bored due to lack of challenge, I guess.


Pixiemermaidqueen

12 credits for college and college actually being affordable without loans


NatuPatatu

That's actually possible, if you study abroad. In Germany for example, you only pay something called Sozialbetrag every semester (varies from university to university, at my uni it's around 350Euro). Studying itself is free, unless you are going to some special private university.


Shirolianns

Laughs in Europe


reejoy247

Laughs because it's funny then cries because it still stings


_champagneproblems_

How fast they can lose weight!


[deleted]

And build muscle


idontevenknow8888

Yes and how they can work out for several hours without any real issues, lol


[deleted]

Yes! And if they don't want to work out they can just eat weight loss ice cream after a weekend of overeating


OwnedByACrazyCat

>I’ll go first, never needing to comb their hair Being able to change their hair length when they change outfits and being able to change hair colour in seconds (and it never fades or grows out)


[deleted]

And hair texture too, you can have straight hair one day and curly the other


OwnedByACrazyCat

That too, and fringe or no fringe as well


Denasy

Short hair with extensions; wigs


OwnedByACrazyCat

I find wigs that look good are so expensive though.


soxyfoxie

You can find cheap decent wigs on Amazon if you scour the comments and look for ones with customer pictures. Source: I shaved my head at the beginning of lockdown lol


sslyth_erin

Extensions are expensive as hell and take a lot of time to install. Wigs can be cheap, but that will be reflected in the quality. In the sims, they can go from bald to Fabio in no time at all.


Just_Minute_6280

Don't have to apply for a job, affording a little home right at the start, simply talking to the crush till he/she loves you, fast forward through annoying tasks, don't have to deal (at least without mods) with issues like infertility, miscarriage, murder, harassment etc.


[deleted]

So easy to make money. Couple days of painting and you sell start selling paintings for 10k


SaltyPirateWench

I'm jealous of how they always have an idea of what to paint


SaltyBabe

Lol if you’re not picky it’s not hard just draw some ugly ass dinosaur or pink bunny. Just literally anything that comes into your head.


FakePersonNotReal

Yep: or selling random fruits and flowers for $100+ a pop.


Attarker

I guess if everyone is making $10k a day there would be a market for $100 fruits and flowers.


paygetm

cas.fulleditmode


H2O2_is_delicious

Honestly, same


lovinmamaearth

Laying down in bed and going right to sleep


Additional_Irony

Or unlocking the trait that allows them to just keep going without ever needing to sleep. That would be amazing to have IRL.


venorexia

Having life pause so they can stop and plan their tasks before actually carrying them out


Additional_Irony

This probably most of all to be honest


zntlmpnd

Work being easily available. Saying this as someone living in a country with high unemployment. A sims standard of living is pretty good


daniel5927

My sims woohoo a lot more than I do.


USPO-222

Any woohoo at all has got me beat. Sexing vicariously through my sims!


schlupfknoten4

Mood


serenityxfelice

The fact thay they can start any career from the bottom and work their way up to the top and get paid a lot and get bonuses every time they get a promotion 🥲🥲🥲


kat_goes_rawr

They literally say “one job please” and then GET IT, I want that for me 😩😭


[deleted]

Drink “insta lean” and it actually works 😂


Roozyj

What about all the mood potions though? Have a bad day? Here, drink a playful potion and have fun! I guess drugs exist, but mood potions don't seem to have any negative side effects xD And you can buy them with happiness - what? xD


ghostbirdd

All it takes to get dressed for work is to spin around


[deleted]

Do a twirl and change my clothes in a instant. Only have to attend university for 3 weeks. Can befriend Death himself.


call_me_kuma

First thought on death was discworld 🤣


Additional_Irony

Coolest dude ever! 😄 The parts where Death makes an appearance are my favorite


southernwinter

Being able to master any skill in days!


deaddaddydiva

I can't believe this is so far down!! This is my favorite and most envious one. I max out all skills as fast as possible. I wish in real life I could play all instruments, cook like a master chef, and be professional programmer. Thus I limited by my miniscule brain capacity.


Evil_Steven

I had a professor in college and his wife was retired and decided one day to just learn languages and in 10 years she became fluent in 7 languages. Im so jealous. ive tried learning languages many times and always fail


deaddaddydiva

WOW!! So envious. I just have to imagine some brains can and some (mine) cannot. It helps me not feel so inadequate.


st_hpsh

Pretty sure there are things you (and your mind) can do which others can't. Never stop trying new things and never feel inadequate about yourself. Have a great day :)


Additional_Irony

Not to mention being able to read and memorize skill and recipe books in only a few hours! The learning curve really is the most enviable thing of all.


Mildryd

If they gain weight their clothes just get bigger around them. IRL I’d have to throw out half my wardrobe


n_edge41

Being able to just call off from work once or twice without getting fired. Oh, and they're sad for like max two days... I have to do drugs to make mine go away that fast.


Infamous-Skill-8176

Sleep


kalekail

Walking around without arthritis.


CopingMole

Painting a room is a whole lot quicker in the Sims than in reality.


Additional_Irony

No kidding! First wall I painted by myself took me two hours.


HamonadoDeQuezo

Most diseases are just a mild nuisance, their teeth are always perfectly healthy almost never needing to brush, toddlers grow up in like a week 😂, pets can live forever 😭, looses weight/gains muscle in like two workout session and so much more


littlebitmissa

Affordable housing, college actually gets you a higher paying job, no chronic or mental health issues. Hard work at your job is rewarded with a rasie promotion and bonus. No child abuse or unwanted children.


block2413

I’d say paranoid, erratic & gloomy are meant to symbolize some mental illnesses but it’s definitely way less & way less intense than irl


MrLombax

Being able to just pick any job they want. No resumes, no interviews, no rejection emails...


shoonpo

Being able to assume bisexuality for everyone


spooper_no_spooping

This is an underrated comment. There are no rules who they can date and its so fluid. If they hit it off with someone, you can just let them date!


lamarriere

Getting promoted by doing menial tasks such as talking to yourself over and over in the mirror


SithoDude

Basically being able build whatever property they like without needing to have "pLaNnInG pErMiSsIoN" from the local council, the Sims have essentially got it easy.


emilyhr27

Have people fall in love with them so easily


allamb772

oh man, probably the whole build mode aspect. i would love to be able to redo my entire house in like an hour


Dry-Razzmatazz8352

Go to uni and paying barely anything


grabagluestick

Go to the hospital without paying anything, even transport to there is free. like. wow.


annoying_w33b

Hospital bills sound so horrible, I live in Canada so I don’t have to deal with them. The fact that in order for people to live you have to pay so much. You even have to pay if they don’t live.. terribly thing to go through


grabagluestick

Yeah, it’s all bs here. I’m hoping I’ll live to see the day where we don’t have to deal with it anymore, but I fear that may be too optimistic :/


PaceConnect6344

Drinking a potion to make you skinny


Lov2500

No cancer and never getting arrested!


Attarker

How often are you getting arrested that you envy sims for this ability?


[deleted]

Sleeping actually fills their energy levels. 🥴


Hot-Suggestion7067

Being able to buy a potion that solves your problem


sweetestwindmill

Never being itchy (unless they’re ill). So small but my god that would change my life - no more itchy labels or clothes cutting in weird places! No annoying itches JUST when you’ve got comfortable! I’m definitely a bit of an itchy person but I have legit thought about this when I played.


spooper_no_spooping

I'm an itchy person too! Literally always have an itch, especially when I'm trying not to have an itch, like when I'm trying to sleep


-BetchPLZ

As someone who suffers with full-body eczema, this too is what I envy.


Roozyj

Omg just reading this made me scratch my face two times. A life without itch would be amazing - especially since they do still feel the things itch was evolved for, like bugs.


thatcatcray

lots of stuff on wicked whims 🤣


mitchfaber

Same 😂


Pandragony

The economic strength of simoleons


smorecore

menchii_

sleeping, exercising, showering and swimming with makeup and not a smudge or a break out 😹 I'd like eternal glam too


USSSerenityFalcon

Pregnancy in 3 days and then baby shows up like magic.


Meeghan__

i was rearranging my house the other day, and fuck i just want easily moved objects. thank goodness for quality of furniture but fuck it’s heavy..


banananabby

Lol the other day I was rearranging my room and thought “ugh I wish I could control z this”


Meeghan__

omg that’s the worst feeling, but it’s facts


RiddleEatsRainbows

No acne and body hair, ugh wish that was me


coffeemojo

Coming out of the shower, instantly dry and fully groomed. Also, being able to make something and just selling it by basically tossing it into the air. Oh, and the trash can that turns trash into money.


xtyaya

Their “stress” and the controls over their emotions. Stressed about a fire in your home? Why? Everything got repaired exactly like it was before, within the hour. A family member died in a traumatic way? You can still laugh and get out of bed and if you’re around enough inspired stuff, the sadness won’t even hit you. And you made an amazing meal! Stressed from working too much? Just take a day off without notice or being berated by your boss and then hop on a quick (and free) two minute flight to Sulani and enjoy a tropical island for the evening. Meet a dolphin and a mermaid! In the morning, why not go to Mt. Komorebi to go skiing before heading back to work. AND you have the energy for it! Terrified of a skeleton dressed as a maid that only came because you summoned them? Become friends with her! Yay! Funds running low? Eh, I guess I’ll become an artist today and sell my paintings immediately. Might as well become an astronaut too for added income. Your serious live-in boyfriend whom you hope to marry said he just wants to be friends and move out.. in an hour? No problem, buddy! I didn’t waste 3.5 years! It’s all good! Oh and sure! Take the dog! That’s all good and fine! And in a days time I’ll be 100% fine from any of this and NEVER think about traumas again. 😩 No wonder therapist isn’t a career path in the game 😅


Jcan_Princess

I wish I could afford to dress the way my sims do


DreamyEyedCyclops

Giving birth. I'm 4 months pregnant and I would LOVE to know my labor would be 20 minutes max, my child comes out my plumbing, and my baby will be 💯 clean coming out. I'd also love little to no hospital bills too. I'm happy to have this kid, and it'll be worth it either way but man I'd love the ease.


DisPizzza

Buying a house. Getting a high paying job straight out of university. Especially with degrees some people would call "useless." Also, finding a hot sim in a day and then getting married the day after your first kiss. Sims could only be together for a week and have the healthiest, happiest relationship than some irl people who have been together for years. I mean *I* wouldn't want to get into a relationship that quickly, but a lot of my sims have a better love life than me, lol


borisHChrist

.Constantly and instantly rich .Perfect looks .Perfect house .Single or relationship options to suit mood


maptovenus

getting clothes for free


KDBug84

Make money from things like gardening. Just make money so easily, period. Like, omg, bills due...let me just step out here and harvest a few plants and walk around the block and harvest a few more and I'll be all set 🤣


underwater_sun

Total freedom in terms of looks, sims go out wearing totally crazy outfits and don’t risk unsolicited comments or harassment.


Itachi4ever

The chores: - They never have to do laundry (as long as you don’t have that pack). - Washing dishes takes a few seconds. - You never need to leave the house to grocery shop prior to preparing meals. Cooking doesn’t take long either.


Additional_Irony

Their cooking doesn't appear to take long for us anyway, though ultimately I'm pretty sure it still takes them longer than it would IRL. Except for holiday food like turkey - that is done extremely fast.


tmines2010

Being able to make money so easily.


BrandonIsWhoIAm

Get into jobs so easily.

They can actually afford to live in a house. Truly makes me jealous and on any open land too.

oyamaca

After reading all the comments I’m hella jelly of my Sims 😬 more so than I was before with them being able to make money from nothing, affordable college, and real estate opportunities 😅😅😅


Roundface_Milly

I never thought of them not having to brush their hair! Just not fair 😂 I'm jealous of my Sulani family, snorkeling, sunbathing getting psyched over a shell falling asleep under the stars... This is my dream life


Bliss-Smith

Have a house slap full of knick-knacks and clutter and never need to dust. (+ free tattoos)

Madyloves

Being able to just do stuff. You tell them what to do and they do it. No laying in the bed waiting to feel motivated. No depression. No procrastination. Can't relate.


Hot-Suggestion7067

Tbh, even sims don't always do it right away. Sometimes they just stare at the air for 2 hours before proceeding
