How to complete the Rags to Businesses challenge in The Sims 4
If you’ve been a part of The Sims 4 community for a little while, then you’ve likely heard of the Rags to Riches Challenge created by community favorite James Turner. Start with nothing and build up to becoming wealthy, it’s a pretty simple concept. With the addition of the Businesses and Hobbies expansion pack for The Sims 4, James has done what he does best and has created a new challenge. It’s not official yet, at least not by the standards of the rules being uploaded to his website, but he’s currently working his way through his own playthrough, and I’ve absorbed all the details. Rags to Businesses rules in The Sims 4 Screenshot by Destructoid If you’re familiar with the Rags to Riches challenge rules, then you can pretty much guess how to complete this challenge, but there are a couple of twists that are special to this variation of the challenge: Create your sim, buy a plot, then reduce your money to 0 Use the “testingcheats true” command, then “money 0” Use the world around you to make money by fishing, digging, or crafting Use benches to sleep, public places to wash, and otherwise survive You can only sell items that you find on the Selling Tables in Nordhaven, shown in the image above, and selling directly from your inventory is not allowed Slowly build up your plot with the things you need to sustain your business As of yet, there is no official end point to this challenge, so you’re free to choose when you feel like you’ve achieved everything that you want to achieve. Maybe it can be when your business reaches five-stars, or perhaps you need to earn 100,000 Simoleons through your business. How to complete the Rags to Businesses challenge in The Sims 4 Screenshot by Destructoid When attempting this challenge, there are a couple of key things to bear in mind: You need 750 Simoleons to register your small business and start trading Every time you open your business for the day, you’ll need to pay 75 Simoleons How you go about completing the challenge depends on where you set up shop, what you want your shop to do, and how quickly you want to complete the challenge. If you set up shop in Nordhaven itself, you could focus on Pottery as James has in his playthrough. This would allow you to use the Pottery Wheels at the museum in the north of the town to craft Pottery to sell. Everything you want to make will cost money (20 Simoleons minimum), so you’ll need to juggle your money to make sure you can afford to open the next day and sell what you’ve made. Similarly, you’ll need to pay attention to how much items cost that can help you complete the challenge. Aside from the items you need to simply survive, such as a bed and toilet, you’ll need to buy equipment such as a Pottery Wheel and Kiln to sustain your business. It’s all about juggling, but you’ll get there. If you want to spice up your gameplay, check out our list of challenges to really turn up the heat.
