In The Sims 4, a clever player has uncovered a simple yet effective workaround that allows players to earn unlimited money without lifting a finger. Vacation days, typically granted based on a Sim’s job ranking, are often seen as a chance to take a break, but one observant player realized they could use these days to rake in cash.

Redditor OutrageousBreak9065 shared the trick on the Sims 4 subreddit, explaining that their Sim regularly receives job offers ranked 5 or higher, which they simply decline. However, after noticing that each job comes with three vacation days upfront, they discovered a way to make money by doing nothing during this time, then moving on to the next job. This "glitch" has proven to be a clever shortcut, and many fellow players expressed regret for not discovering it sooner. As OutrageousBreak9065 explained:

"Sims 4 is all about designing your Sim's dream home and life, and much like in real life, you need a fair amount of money to achieve those dreams. While many jobs in Sims 4 pay well, rotating through high-paying jobs without actually working allows for even more cash. And yes, many commenters joked about wishing real life worked this way, with FireflyNitro adding, 'Employers hate this one simple trick!'"

In the thread, another player shared their experience using the trick with their stay-at-home mom Sim, who used the glitch to extend a vacation in Mt. Komorebi for extra days of fun. Jumpy-Job5196 detailed how their Sim spent an additional three days sledding and building snowmen with the Grim Reaper and their toddler, all thanks to the glitch. The process was simple: take a new job, use up the vacation days, and quit before the vacation ends.

Some players even took it a step further, using this time to rack up career rewards that could later be sold. While Sims 4 has its share of hacks to earn money without cheat codes—such as getting free seed packs through build mode—this vacation glitch is an easy, no-effort method that’s as lazy as it is effective. After all, in The Sims 4, making money to buy your dream home is the ultimate goal.
