Hand-to-Mouth

📖 The story

There is no nest egg, no pantry, no cushion. Your Sim earns today what they'll eat today, and never holds more than a hundred Simoleons or a single day's food — a whole life lived right on the knife-edge of getting by.

💝 The goal

Survive a full lifetime never banking more than **§100** or stockpiling more than **a day's food** at a time.

🎀 Packs required

Packs recommended

🏡 Setup

🚀 Getting started

• Create a Sim living on the edge, move into a bare small home, and start with exactly §100.

⌨️ Cheats to type

📋 General rules

• Spend down to under §100 before each new day begins.
• Keep no more than one day's worth of meals on hand.
• No money cheats.

✨ Specific rules

• Holding over §100 or more than a day's food at any moment is a fail.
• Earn daily, live daily.
• Sustain this for an entire lifetime.

✅ What you can do

• Earn freely — but spend or consume almost everything immediately.
• Use `bb.moveobjects`.

⛔ What you can't do

• Never bank more than §100 at a time.
• Never stockpile more than a single day's food.
• No money cheats.

💡 Strategy tips

• Pick income that pays out in small, frequent amounts (odd jobs, daily gigs, quick sales) rather than big lumps that blow the cap.
• Spend surplus immediately on perishable food or bills — never let the bank tick over §100 at midnight.
• A tiny garden gives same-day food without "stockpiling," easing the food rule.

🔥 Want it harder?

• Drop the cap to **§50** and survive an elder's full life that way.
• Add a dependent child who must also be fed under the same limits.
