Pyros, there are a lot of much easier ways to make money, lots of money. For example: I buy up metals and gems from the merchants every day that I am in a WA destination (they get new stock daily), get them smelted or cut then transfigure them into tiberium when I get home. I can have a new sim worth over 1,000,000 within 3 sim weeks of starting this way. No need to run around collecting, though I pick up any I see in passing or collect if I have a little time to spare and I throw all my common artifacts and meteors into the mix. A grown tiberium can be worth anything from 29,000 to 47,000 and right now I'm growing eleven as a result of six days in France. I financed this with buying and collecting gems to make one tiberium in my first ten sim days of play. This is week two, so when they have grown (24 to 48 sim hours) I should have about 350,000. once you have over a 1,000,000 you could have the home you want, the best car and own several venues and no need to worry about making money. I suggest you get (or make) those bots a digger each, and make them dig all day for several days, that should net you a hord of gems, meteors and metal to transfigure
- make a miint, then ditch them. After all, playing should be fun, if its not fun its not worth it.
