My Sim Is Paying $40,000 in Child Support Weekly!
So he was just a regular single guy. He wanted this girl but she was married already so he let it go. He wins the lottery one day, next thing I know the girl divorces her husband and starts calling up my guy.
Long story short my guy decided to quit his current job to become a professional boxer and marries this girl. While traveling/working he starts fooling around.
Bill day comes and I see the notification says he owes $45,000 for bills, $40,000 of which is specifically for child support. I check his family tree and he has at least 14 kids by random women.
Now he’s reached the top of the boxing career, he’s sitting on a cool $800,000, he has the girl of his dreams, and he’s singlehandedly populating my town lol. He’s maxed out probably 9 skills.
I don’t really know what else to do with him. He’s settled down now. He hasn’t had anymore kids. He’s living a quiet family life. He only works 3 days out the week.
Any suggestions on what else I could have him do? I’m tempted to switch to a different household now. Or should I continue to play him until the CS wipes out all of their money?

But the 14 children! Storytelling gold! Does the wife know about them? Do the kids know who their dad is, a famous boxer? When they find out, will they start showing up? What are they like? What do they want?!
I dunno, I get carried away with these situations--it's up to you....
FOURTEEN KIDS?! LOL
Also there’s a boxing career?!?!

I like him keeping the job just to have him out of the house for those 3 days. His wife is the Attorney General and is bringing in $25,000/week. He is bringing in $5,000/week. So even though they're getting $30,000/week, their expenses are still $45,000/week... so technically they need to file bankruptcy or something lol.
I could see him becoming creative as a writer. That could be believable and help offset the costs.
And yea the wife knows lol but he's a Player so she doesn't care. He's even hooked up with a few friends of hers. She never gets mad with him but I have had her fight with and become enemies with her (former) friends lol. She's been making a lot of drinks lately haha
All 14 kids are babies. I could manually age some of them up so he can start seeing them pop up around town.
Yep you can disable it if you want. I like it though. You get that notification when you get bills about how much money you have either earned or owe in CS. I have it set up where if the kid lives on a different lot from the parent, the household where the kid lives earns a certain percentage each week in CS, to kinda offset them not being in the home.
But $40,000 is the highest I've ever seen it before.
Yep! And it's a mod by KawaiiStacie. It gives you the boxing career, a boxing trait, a boxing skill, and a special boxing moodlet.
I wish someone made one for basketball too that was just as thorough!
Modders can do wonderful things.
That's an idea -- you could track down some of the kids and move them in with your Sim and his wife. Or move in the kids' mom along with the kids then have her eat some poor quality pufferfish nigri (thinking of killing off a couple of my Sims with that method).

Haha! Is this a thing?
I removed it so he could get his wife pregnant and forgot to give it back to him.
Lol he had a kid with Luna Villarreal who I aged up and made Insane in my game. So that kid actually lives with he and his wife along with the child his wife has with her ex husband and the one kid they have together. So Luna actually pays him child support for that one lol. And his wife gets child support from her ex husband lol. Totals to about $1,500/month for those 2 kids.
But if I kill off the mother, and move the kids in then he won’t have to pay CS anymore. I kinda like this outrageous amount of money he has to pay each week lol.
I just thought it was funny that even though they make a lot of money, it pales in comparison to how much they owe.

Holy..... Well, you know. I have MCC set up so each pregnancy makes the parents marry since I had sims who were 'dead-beat dads' sometimes and it bothered me.

Lol yea no more kids
See that’s why I liked the CS. At least they’ll get a lil extra money. Made me feel like the other parent was active
I never changed the percentage so it’s whatever the default is. I may adjust just to see the difference.
