๐Ÿ“– 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.

๐Ÿ’ The goal

Amass a fortune purely by **conning other Sims** out of money โ€” never holding a real job.

๐Ÿ“‹ General rules

  • No salaried career โ€” income comes from cons and hustles.
  • No money cheats.
  • Keep moving so marks don't catch on.

โœจ Specific rules

  • Earn through charm-based schemes: "borrowing" that's never repaid, rigged deals, selling worthless "treasures," talked-up favours.
  • Build Charisma and Mischief to pull cons off.
  • Reach a target fortune by deception alone.

โœ… What you can do

  • Con Sims with mischief socials (scam, beg, sell 'forgeries' through roleplay); never a real job.
  • Use `bb.moveobjects`.

โ›” What you can't do

  • No legitimate career income.
  • Money only from conning Sims; no money cheats.

๐Ÿ’ก 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.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Want it harder?

  • Never befriend the same Sim twice โ€” every mark is a stranger you win over from scratch.
  • Reach the target without your reputation ever dropping (Get Famous).
