    It's like a money machine

    I am working in a nonlinear way on gathering all the profession rewards, at which point I will get rid of most everything else, finish the slow conversion into a giant moat/swimming pool maze + greenhouse (it looks great so far) and just play with the surgery machine and stuff. Anyway, I recently acquired the Tiki pinball machine and the Litigator podium and by golly, they make money! Has anyone else discovered this? $5 (simoleans) a minute, by cracky, and with the podium, it goes on as long as you want. That's 300 simoleans an hour around the clock. Couldn't you just get one person in the family to reach the top of the legal career and then stop working forever?

    LOL yes, that podium and the education career reward bookcase are just too cheaty for my tastes. That bookcase seems to give autumn + thinking cap learning rates ... put a sim to it in actual autum wearing a thinking cap and I bet they could max out all skills in a single weekend. :rolleyes:

    Yeah, I don't like the bookcase either for the same reason. But I don't mind the litigator podium, I guess. It's not that different from the simolean trees. Didn't know the pinball machine also made money.

    Does anyone know what the stupid idol does? It just sits there looking ugly as far as I can tell.

    I've heard it's suppose to increase environment... but that's not gospel.

    The idol very slowly increases environment and therefore mood. I have two of them outside, near things like the chess board and the hot tub. Mainly they're good (ugly) decoration. I love the tiki pinball; it flashes and spits fire and makes great "drums in the jungle" sounds.

    What the heck is "autumn" when it comes to skills?

    My favorite career reward is the surgical machine. I love it when they shrug their shoulders in embarrassment and throw away the heart or liver.

    The season, also more commonly known here in the US as Fall. ;) In the game during the season sims get a learning bonus.

    I had no idea! I never noticed this. What I did just notice is that plant babies are born (cloned, I guess) with the same skills as their parent. My toddler was almost maxed out at 'birth' (propagation!) and she just played with the bunny head and xylophone for a few days and voila, a full-grown, almost fully skilled young adult. Put her on the litigator podium and we're gold, baby.

    What? Sims skill better in the fall? Does this explain my superskilling kids? I thought it was all the smart milk I fed them.
