Broke in the Sims? Fear Not, Frugal Simmers! Your Guide to Shady Loans and Dubious Donations
Ah, the glamorous life in Sims 4. Big dreams, fancy furniture, and... negative simolean balance. We've all been there. Maybe you splurged on that unnecessary llama statue, or your kleptomaniac Sim keeps accidentally "borrowing" expensive garden gnomes. Whatever the reason, you're staring down a financial abyss and need some quick cash.
But fret not, fellow Simmers! This guide will equip you with the knowledge (and questionable morals) to navigate the murky waters of Simsonian finance.
How To Borrow Money Sims 4 |
Option 1: The Befriend and Fleece Method
Step 1: Befriend a Generous Sim. Think of the Goodies or the Landgraabs - Sims who seem to have more money than sense. Shower them with compliments, bake them dubious fruitcakes, and strategically place yourself in the path of their generosity.

**Step 2: **Unlock the "Ask for Money" interaction. This requires some serious charisma, so hit the gym and practice your cheesy pick-up lines. Remember, a charming Sim is a persuasive Sim!
Step 3: Milk it for all it's worth! Once you've unlocked the interaction, don't be shy. These Sims practically have money trees growing out of their ears. Just don't be surprised if they look at you a little differently after the fifth "small loan."

Pro Tip: Marriage is just a fancy long-term loan, right? Just sayin'.
Option 2: The "Lost and Found" Shuffle
Let's face it, Sims are messy. ??????. Keep an eagle eye out for those glowing piles of unclaimed Simoleans. Finders keepers, losers weepers! Just be sure to look the other way if you see Mortimer Goth sobbing over his missing monocle.
QuickTip: Use posts like this as quick references.![]()
Bonus points: Become a freelance "detective" specializing in missing valuables. Sims will practically beg you to take their misplaced money in exchange for the "emotional toll" of losing a slightly singed gnome.

Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.![]()
- "Borrowing" from unattended wallets. It's not a loan, it's called theft, and trust us, karma's a real witch in the Sims world.
- Maxing out your credit card on frivolous purchases. Just because Mr. Bigbucks down the street has a lifetime supply of plasma fruit doesn't mean you do.
- Selling your children... Okay, that one's just dark. Even for this guide.
Remember, folks, there's always the good old-fashioned way to make money: hard work! Get a job, paint some masterpieces, or write a scandalous tell-all about your neighbor's secret alien abduction. But hey, if you're feeling adventurous (and ethically flexible), these tips might just help you out of a financial jam. Just don't get caught by the Repo Man, and for the love of all that is Simlish, pay your bills eventually!
