Earn 100K Lifetime Want

[Gwill]

Yeah, I don't know why that doesn't count.
Ask someone more awesome.

[PlayLives]

Wow, I didn't know that the lifetime want could be fulfilled in one shot, by having some stupid townie purchase a lot priced at 100K!, silly Maxis...
I won't fulfill it that way though, to easy, at least not yet...

You don't earn an inheritance. Well, unless it's a situation like a Caliente marrying Mortimer Goth or something.

Hey! Cowplants don't just drop from the sky, you know. Nor do swimming pool ladders disappear of their own accord. Damn straight they earn their inheritance.

Three cheers for the rubbish Sim cops.

[Ness]

You only get inheritances through deaths from old age - nothing else.

Damn! That's blown my pose as a hard-core maniac. Truth is, I have never actually killed a Sim before their time. Now you all know I'm just a big girl's blouse.

Well, you COULD have Mr. Big or The Diva move in, bring their millions with them, and then they have an, umm, 'accident'...

[BeckerCheez]

When I had one of my Sims marry The Diva, she didn't bring in a lot of money as I thought she would.   

[kutto]

Or use Rodney's (?) Death Creator to old age them to death. But that's too easy. 

[jsalemi]

When I had one of my Sims marry The Diva, she didn't bring in a lot of money as I thought she would.   

There used to be a bug that caused Mr. Big and the Diva (and maybe most downtownies) to bring in some rediculous amount of money.  I have a hack called 'no_lottery_movein_fix' that fixed that -- maybe it keeps Big and Diva from also bringing in the funds they're supposed to?  Check to see if you have that one.  I forget where I got it from....

I don´t think that is the case. I don´t have that fix in my game and the Diva still brought only about 70,000 with her.
But I am not sure how much she is supposed to bring with her, as I have never moved her or Mr. Big in before. Can anybody tell me how much they are supposed to bring with them?
Maybe it is random.

[jsalemi]

Well, 70k IS a lot more than the average townie brings in (usually between 1k and 18k if your sim is lucky).  It may be a random amount -- I haven't had any sims move in either of them yet, but I do have one who's on the hunt.

[Weaver]

My guess is, borked ratio or altered in later releases after NL due to Maxians changing their mind based on field studies of real-life Divas and Mr. Bigs.

Does moving 'The Slobs' in come with benefits - dental plan, infestation or new life direction?

Does moving 'The Slobs' in come with benefits - dental plan, infestation or new life direction?

I think you get $19, which places you slightly shy of half a pizza.

[kutto]

I was under the impression that slobs carried Renuyu-chugs. Haven't moved one in to find out. 

Slightly off-topic, but how much money does a sim need to be considered rich? I've never been able to fufill that want.

All nonplayable sims carry Renuyu chugs when moved in. To be rich, a sim needs to bring $50K, but it doesn't count for special sims like Big/Diva due to various bugginesses in coding.

if I remember correctly, the "rich" sim also has to wait to move in untill they marry, if moved in and then married it dosen't count

[jsalemi]

Me neither.  I even recently reloaded the game on my laptop and started with a fresh Pleasantview.  Dina Calliente got engaged and married to ol' Morti as he stood on the sidewalk, and even she didn't have the 'marry rich sim' want filled.  I did it for her...

[Weaver]

I've had the memory appear when the married Sim has typically hit greater than 100k which was obtained through the Captain Hero chance card (50k sum).
The "Earned 100k" or "Earned Lots of Money" memory may have to be present to validate the 'Marry a Rich Sim' criteria.

[cwykes]

The "earn 100K" is related to the fortune sims. In the basic TS2 it was an obssessive  want, now it is a life want.

If you don't have OFB, you can earn it only by writing a novel, and selling it. For this task, your sim has to have 10 creativity skills. Writing a novel takes long time (at least 14 sim days), and not each sell gets 100K.

I've got base game and OFB only.  Base game doesn't have LTWs, and this doesn't exist as a LTW in my game now I've added OFB.  I don't think I've seen it as a normal want either.  I think it came in with Uni. 

I've never got 100k for a novel sale either.

....... how much money does a sim need to be considered rich? I've never been able to fufill that want.

I have a notepad file quoting Pescado:

"Okay, the definitive requirements for "Marry a Rich Sim".

Your resident sim will satisfy this want if the following conditions are all met:
1. The sim being married into the family lives on another lot. The other sim must live on a DIFFERENT lot, and must not be in the fambly bin.
2. The sim moved in must bring at least $50K in cash. The amount of cash brought is equal to 10% of the original family's cash reserves, or the entire networth if that sim lives alone.

The sim moving in will satisfy the want if the following conditions are met:
1. The family that the sim is moving into has a networth of at least $50K, including the value of furnishing, home, and cash reserves.

Otherwise you fail. It has nothing to do with memories of how much money a sim has earned, etc., etc. This is it. It is purely determined by networth/money added to family, with aforementioned "must not be in the fambly bin" caveat. End of story.""

[jsalemi]

Ah. Then the reason that Dina didn't get the want fulfilled in my new game is that I played the Goth lot first, and did some things that dropped their worth below 500k.  So Mortie moved in with about 49k.

[eamethyst]

I have moved in a Mr. Big/Diva at least 3 times and each time they have brought 70,900 simoleans exactly, which as stated previously is much more than any other townie, downtownie, or NPC brings to the household.  I just assumed this was a fixed amount.

[jsalemi]

It may well be a fixed amount.  I have a sim that's very close to getting the Diva to move in with him -- I'll see what happens when she does.

[Issy]

I moved in the Diva a few days ago, she bought in about 70k.  If you add up all the other items which come in the inventory (telescopes, dj booth etc) then you could easily say it's over the 80k mark.
