Quick Links
There might be multiple ways to make money inThe Sims 4, but not all of them are quick and easy. One method in particular that stands out from the crowd is taking high-quality photographs and then selling them to make Simoleons. However, it isn’t as easy as it sounds.
In the game, not every photograph you take is guaranteed to sell for a high value. Well, unless you follow a couple of steps to ensure that the quality of every picture you take is high enough to guarantee some decent cash for your Sim. Here’s how.
How To Take Valuable Photographs
Although you can’t determine the value of a photograph ahead of time, the rule of thumb is that the better the picture quality of any photograph you take, the more likely it is to sell for a decent price.This means you want to consistently take pictures of outstanding quality to maximize their value.
Fortunately, there are a couple of methods you can use toincrease your chances of taking high-quality photos.
Level Up Your Photography Skill
To increase the picture quality of your photographs, you shouldlevel up your photography skills.At low levels in photography, your pictures are more likely to come out badly. It may be because your Sim’s thumb gets in the frame or because of a random photobomb. Athigher levels,however, that doesn’t happen, and you have abetter chance of taking outstanding quality pictures.
If you plan on purchasing a tripod, then you don’t have to waste time grinding your photography level, since using it removes the chance of bad photos.
With there being onlyfive levels to this skill, you can level up your photography skill fairly easily byspam-taking random pictures.
Invest In A Better Camera
You can start taking pictures by using the camera on your Sims mobile, buttaking pictures with an actual camera can increase the quality of the photos you take.The better the camera you’re using the higher the chances are of you churning out good quality pictures. So it’s best to go to build mode and get a decent camera.
Of course, it helps thatyou can change the orientation and zoom of the camera and apply filters to your photosfor some extra personalization.
Invest In A Tripod
While investing in a good camera can make your pictures look better, they may not be the best. That’s where the tripod comes in.Any picture taken using a tripod will always be of outstanding quality, regardless of the Sim’s photography skill,soto save some money, pair the tripod with a cheap camera if your aim is simply to get high-quality photos.

You can equip the tripod with any camera, to get outstanding quality pictures all the time. With that being said, if your goal is to take pictures that are both valuable and look good then splurging a little on a good camera is the way to go since more expensive cameras offer you a wider range of photo sizes than the mobile phone and base level cameras.
How To Sell Your Photographs
Getting high-quality photographs is all well and good, but how do you sell them? Well, there arethree common ways you can sell photographs that you’ve taken.
Directly selling your photos by using the drag-and-drop selling feature isthe most convenient and quickest way of selling your photographs.However, for those wanting some extra fame, selling them to publications might not be a bad idea either.
Working As A Freelance Photographer
With your photography skill maxed out,the best way to consistently get paid for your high-quality photos is by working as a freelance photographer.By pursuing a freelance photographer career and signing with an agency, you’ll get the ability to accept several different types of gigs.
With a level 5 in your photography skill or a tripod, completing the highest-paying gigs should be no problem at all.What’s more is that some gigs pay very handsomely, withsome even giving you around 3000 Simoleons for a single picture.Of course, taking multiple pictures at a time is always recommended to ensure at least one gets approved.
