๐ The story
Trust is just another resource to be spent. Your Sim talks their way into people's confidence and out the door with their Simoleons โ a smiling con artist who never holds an honest job and never stays long enough to get caught.
๐ The goal
Amass a fortune purely by **conning other Sims** out of money โ never holding a real job.

โจ๏ธ Cheats to type
testingcheats truemoney 500๐ General rules
- No salaried career โ income comes from cons and hustles.
- No money cheats.
- Keep moving so marks don't catch on.
โจ Specific rules

- Build Charisma and Mischief to pull cons off.
- Reach a target fortune by deception alone.
โ What you can do
- Con Sims with mischief socials (scam, beg, sell 'forgeries' through roleplay); never a real job.

โ What you can't do

๐ก Strategy tips
- **Charisma** opens marks up; **Mischief** lets you fleece them โ build both.
- Flip cheap finds as fake valuables, and lean on social interactions that net favours and gifts.
- Don't overstay โ a good grifter leaves a neighbourhood before its Sims compare notes.

๐ฅ Want it harder?
- Never befriend the same Sim twice โ every mark is a stranger you win over from scratch.
