Welfare for Sims by Spintherism (Sims 4)
I created this quick mod that pays your family $335 per week to sit back and do absolutely nothing. It’s an absurdly low amount of money, but it is realistic – welfare isn’t designed to make you rich.
– To sign up for Welfare, apply for a job, like any other career, and select “Welfare Recipient”. This job is only available to Adults and Elders. I may make this for kids in the future as well so that having additional children will result in a bigger check (as it works in real life).
– Once you sign up, your Jobs menu will be permanently minimized. There will be no hours or career performance like a typical career. However, you will not be able to get a second job without leaving welfare. This behavior is intended as welfare is not a job, but restricts you from getting one.
– Once every Wednesday, your sim must leave the house for one hour and collect his/her check. It will be deposited into your family funds as usual. If you miss your appointment (every Wednesday at 2:00 PM) you will not get a check for the week. Calling in sick, PTO, vacation time, and any other ways are around this are disabled. You must go there to get paid. You will automatically be sent there unless a door is locked or you are otherwise prevented from leaving.
– You can still do odd jobs, write, steal, or anything else that is “off the books”. Again, much like real life, cheating the system is completely possible, but anything obvious such as being on a payroll is disabled.
– You can leave welfare by using the “Quit Job” interaction or by applying for another job. I’ve edited many of the different career popups and UI elements to better reflect the spirit of this mod, but it is not possible to change these without changing them for all jobs.
