Sims 3 - gardening

Due to some serious issue with my previous family sims. I have started a new family sims for the gardening purpose. I started it with 2 young couple, husband and wife. The husband work in a science lab while do gardening . The wife is a full time housewife and only create income through writing novel.

Life is quite difficulty for them at first as they are having their first baby on the very first day in the game itself. Most of the money have been spent on refurnish the baby room and provide necessary education for the baby. And at the very same time, i notice that the seeds took about 7 days before they have first fruits. Nevertheless, it is quite a good return as the first time harvest is enough to cover the cost of the seed purchase.

While trying the gardening skill, i also decide to test out the theory of money management in this game. which is, 50% of the father earn income is use to pay bills and bought extra comfortable item or furnishing the house. The income from the mother as author was purely keep to regenerate passive income. While testing this theory out, i notice that at the beginning , everything was very slow, so slow to even notice the effect. Yet once they rich their mid life, things beggining to change. first of all, is they tend to easily get extra mood from using the better comfortable item. and from their passive income, it was indeed very slow at the beginning, but once i am able to "be a partner" , the money then begin to grow incredible fast.

Things are less likely to break down, all of them get lots of opportunities that keep coming in. I was able to purchase a few more "be a partner" and very soon i notice that i even have enough money to hire maid and purely paid from the mother writing income alone. The father on the other hand keep getting chance to promote to a higher position which increase their daily earn income.

Once the money seem to be flowing easily, they both had another baby (which is a boy). And things continue going smooth. Both of them are also able to fulfill their lifetime wishes at their elder life and since then they mood is always on surplus. I thought that i will get the father to retire once the lifetime wishes is fulfill however, he stays with his job till the grim reaper pick him up.

On the other hand, the mother also passed away after a few days of the father deads. But the funny thing of this is, after the grim repaer pick up the mum. The grim reaper actually went to the kitchen , took the entire pizza i order and throw it into a dustbin =.= . Then went to the baby room, play with the babies toys before vanish.

by the time i writing, the family now leave both the daughter and son. The daughter now have collect so many "be a partner" that now she wholly owned one of the business. And currently she is on her way mastering her skills without ever need to go work again. On the other hand, the son, after watching the mum death, suddenly aspire to become a surgeon and is making his first move .

Conclusion: the gardening is not bad, but it takes times and sim energy. As for the money management, all i can say is it seems slow, but the income begin to multiply very fast and you see your sims moods is getting better along the way.
