Type in the following cheats. Each code will give you a different amount of money.
- motherlode = $50,000
- kaching = $1,000
- (This one only works if you have the Nightlife expansion pack installed.) familyFunds <familylastname> <amount> = will give that specific family as much money as you want. An example is "familyfunds Johnson 250000". This will give the Johnson family 250,000 simoleons (a Sim's dollars). The maximum amount is 9,999,999 simoleons.The family does not have to have a house to get money this way.

- Press SHIFT+CLICK on a Sim.
- Click spawn... , then more... and then Sim Modder (Icon looks like a standing baby)
- Click on the Sim Modder.
- Click career rewards - all (or change "all" to whatever Sim you want).
- Go to the career rewards.
- Find the counterfeiting machine (only available with Sims 2:University expansion pack) and put it on your lawn.
- Use it. Only if you don't have gold aspiration, though!
- Wait a few moments, then click the "action icon" in the upper-left corner to make the sim stop the action.
- Enjoy your free simoleons!
