๐Ÿ“– 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.

๐Ÿ’ The goal

Run **five distinct income streams simultaneously** and reach **ยง80,000**.

๐Ÿ“‹ General rules

  • No money cheats after the ยง1,000 start.
  • Earn with your own household only.
  • No gifts or transfers.

โœจ 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.

โœ… What you can do

  • Run any five distinct self-employment streams at once (painting, writing, gardening, fishing, woodworking, programming/freelance, collecting, a home businessโ€ฆ).
  • 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).

๐ŸŽฎ 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.

๐Ÿ’ก 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.

๐Ÿ’• Milestones โ€” track your progress

๐Ÿ”ฅ 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.

๐Ÿ† Scoring

+1 per simultaneous stream beyond five; hold the maximum for a full season for a top score.

๐ŸŽญ Variations

Spread the streams across a *household* (one Sim per hustle) for a "family of freelancers" version. ---
