๐ The story
No job, no problem โ your Sim has five. A painter by morning, a writer by lunch, a gardener by afternoon, a freelancer by evening, a collector on the weekend. The challenge isn't earning; it's juggling, and never letting a single plate stop spinning.
๐ The goal
Run **five distinct income streams simultaneously** and reach **ยง80,000**.

๐ก Setup
๐ Getting started
- Create one high-energy Sim. A small home-studio is ideal:
โจ๏ธ Cheats to type
testingcheats truemoney 1000๐ General rules
- No money cheats after the ยง1,000 start.
- Earn with your own household only.
- No gifts or transfers.
โจ Specific rules
- No rabbit-hole salaried career.
- Maintain five different active income streams (e.g. painting, writing, gardening, freelance, collecting). Each must produce real income each week.
- Dropping below five active streams for a full week is a fail.
โ What you can do
- Run any five distinct self-employment streams at once (painting, writing, gardening, fishing, woodworking, programming/freelance, collecting, a home businessโฆ).
- Use `bb.moveobjects`.
โ What you can't do
- No single stream may provide more than about half your income โ keep all five genuinely active.
- No money cheats.
- No salaried rabbit-hole career as one of the five (self-employment only).

๐ฎ If you don't own the packs
Already base-game. City Living's Freelancer is a handy stream, but base-game self-employment easily covers all five.
๐ก Strategy tips
- Pick streams that run on *different need-timers* โ gardening and nectar work while you sleep; painting and writing fill your waking hours.
- Batch similar tasks: harvest and replant in one trip, then paint until energy runs low.
- *Wellness/meditation* and a tidy needs setup buy you the extra hours the fifth stream demands.
๐ Milestones โ track your progress

๐ฅ Want it harder?
- Push to **seven** simultaneous streams and hold them for a full season.
- No passive streams โ every stream must require active daily input.
๐ Scoring
+1 per simultaneous stream beyond five; hold the maximum for a full season for a top score.
๐ญ Variations
Spread the streams across a *household* (one Sim per hustle) for a "family of freelancers" version. ---
