   Step 2: Decide whether you want to be self-employed

   Either way if you don't make enough money you could do a hobby like fishing or gardening to make more. , Even if your sim has a lifetime wish that is not based on a career you can still choose a career where you can forward your wish(have the same skill required for the job as for the wish). , For example, an evil Sim will want to join the Criminal career, while a virtuoso will want to join the Music career.
   
   Sims with at least 1 skill point in a skill can register at city hall as self-employed in that skill. , Or you could just choose a job with a better pay. , Most careers start off with you being in a good mood then building up skills.
   
   So along with a good mood, build up skills and you will be raking in the dough!
