There's a much easier, and achieveable without cheats (unless you lack the DLC) to generate *vast* sums of money, it does however, require the sacrifice of orphans. In the Supernatural DLC, there is an item called "The Philosophers Stone". How it works is simple; drag an item onto the Stone and get a sim to interact with it for a chance to turn it into a gold bar. The gold bar isn't what we're going for however, you see, The Philosophers Stone has a wonderful side effect; it has a chance to kill the sim using it by turning them into solid gold, which leaves a golden statue of the Sim worth 50k a piece. With this in mind, how do ophans come into the mix given that you can't kill children, you might ask? Simple: The Sims 3 lets you forcibly age a Sim by one life stage by buying the "Birthday Inferno Birthday Cake" for 30 simoleons. So, adopt a child, forcibly age them into a young adult and have them repeatedly use the Philosophers Stone until they are killed and turned into gold. Sell the dead orphan for 50k, meaning a lovely 49,970 simoleans in profit for each orphan.

Sees video title: "Ha! I've already seen every terrible thing Sims 3 has to offer" Spiff then proceeds to literally create a household earth gremlin that lives in the soil and hoards very pretty (and valuable) gems and rocks. "... Nevermind."

- Is that a gigantic space rock in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? - It's a gigantic space rock. I'm not allowed to talk to anyone. - Oh.

A man desperate to interact with anybody, but being compelled by an unknowable force to dig deeper and deeper into a mine instead is some Junji Ito shit

"We have discovered giga-lobster, it was just lying in a pit in the ground" I laughed way to hard at that.

"Oh he's had a bad day. Well that's ok, because he's gonna go to sleep and then tomorrow his day will be exactly the same" Damn

"Oh.. Spiffy is making him into an Elf" *10 seconds later* "Oh... spiffy is making a goblin"

I actually still play Sims 3! ... Maybe a lot. And this adventure can be improved! If you give Toby the Born Salesman trait, which will boost his sales at the consignment store (which is a large point to most broken ways to make an excess of cash in the Sims). Also for better sales, you can get the Gem Cutter (from the Supernatural expansion) out of buy mode. This removes the cost of cutting all gems, and gives you some piles of gem dust on the side that sell for an absurd amount. I've not tested it, but I think you could give Sir Cumfrence the Loner trait and have the Enjoying Solitude buff help improve his mood and counter the negative social mood? It would take longer to get the social bar to decay all the way though. I don't think the Lucky trait actually helps Sir Cumfrence, it helps with other chance based activities but not actually collecting stuff. For this you actually want the Gatherer trait, and then you will also want Sir Cumfrence to be the one to use the gem cutting machine (it increases cut gem values). Since Sir Cumfrence ultimately spends all of his time outdoors, and eventually fulfills very few wishes, he may get a better mood boost out of Loves the Outdoors over Ambitious. Since you can have very bad luck with getting what you were looking for out of the Consignment Store, I would put Eccentric on Toby, and then as a back up he can start leveling the Inventing skill so that you can guaranteed get the miner one way or another. Since the miner and the spelunking decay your sim's hygiene very quickly (though I couldn't tell how badly it did it in the video with the exploit), you could give Sir Cumfrence the Slob trait. This allows him to absolutely never bathe and suffer no debuffs from it. He will also like his burned/awful food. Other people won't like encountering him, but that's okay! He needs to stay away from them anyways! Also, if you were to end up doing inventing yourself, he would be able to dig for scrap without being bothered by the disgusting stench of himself and all the garbage. Fun video! That was a hilarious and actually unique way to make Sims 3 even more broken than usual!

"Now, technically, this existence is absolutely horrible and terrible, but at the same time, he can't die from it, and he's only going to profit." Deep

"You cant stop him" of course I cant! The dude carried a giant ass meteorite out of a small hole in his underpants. The dude is magical and super buff.

"you must create a sim with 0 social skill, this will be the money maker" you guys are getting paid?

Sir Cumference isn't a lonely miner. He's social distancing.

I'm still waiting for Nintendo to release the claim on the Animal Crossing exploit

"Sir Cumference, it's 4 PM, time for another mining operation!" "Yes Toby..."

easier way: literally, start the game with a dog, train dog in hunting, have dog start digging up shit until you find tiberium. cut tiberium. set tiberium crystal and dust on the ground, allow it to grow and spread, sell every chunk for 50k+ cut and sell all other gems gained too

Playing Sims 3 like it's Rimworld. I truly love it.

"let's go create a broken family" - Spiffing Brit 2020

"If you do it this way, it will take him 5 hours and I don't have that kind of time" ... "Before we begin, let's get some sleep for about 7 hours"

"Let's go create a broken family" wow. Not even gonna sugar coat it.

If you use the Gem cutter from the supernatural pack, they take about 5 seconds per gem instead of waiting until the next morning

That lobster... is probably the size of a large breed DOG based on its weight

I never realised the Sims was able to simulate my social life that accuratly!

My favorite exploit is from sims 2. You get thr expansions that include all of the instruments and plant sims. Plant sims have a different set of needs, which allow you to set up a stage with sun lamps and sprinklers, a set of instruments, and have a family of plant sims all play for tips together. This ends up perpetually filling all of their needs, and they xan continue playing like this /forever/. And people will wander by and dump immense riches into your tip jar.

Came to make a shout out for Sims 2, still has an active community making great CC. Not too many bloggers or you tubers playing with it but man, it’s still a great game. Has that early Sim silliness that I think it lost from Sims 4.

"You'd have to be digging around in a very strange place to find this bad boy." Is there something you'd like to tell us, Spiff? Perhaps about how you found this exploit?

Game Developers: Our game is perfectly balanced with zero exploits. Spiff: *sips Yorkshire Tea*

A forgotten species of lobsters living underground. Everyone thought they where extinct.

The green gem that can actually grow is the most broken thing.

"We have discovered Giga-Lobster" Please keep playing with this perfectly functional household!

Disappointed that you didn’t try and place the lobster down, see how massive it truly is

"He's just vibrating away over a massive gaping hole!" Oh, the amount of jokes with that... You make us Aussies look tame in comparison, when you make a dirty joke or phrase, accidentally and inadvertently haha. Not that I'm complaining, about them

"He should be round!" **makes him square jawed with pointy ears**

Toby Larone looks like the kind of guy whose father will be hearing about this. Just saying.

Misspoke at the start there. "If you're somewhat of a veteran" you already have a cup of tea.

Love these kinda exploits! Downloading Sims 3 to do it myself now with some storytelling in the background. I have one pretty known one for Sims 4! Start a club and make the activity to painting and make everyone in it only paint! Spam start club activities and make them paint non-stop while you keep selling all the art. Eventually their painting level go up so fast the painting will sell for a lot! Do it on a tiny living house to speed up their painting! Just throw tons of easel outside the apartment. Or you could even lock them in the apartment with only easel!

Thank you. I thought those infinite caves were just randomly occuring glitches. I used to call them "gold mines"

I think this is the game where I bought an empty plot of land, built nothing on it, put a sleeping-bag in my inventory and lived in the gym to quickly max my athletics score.

My most recent exploit of the Sims 3, which I do play occasionally still, is to play as a charismatic witch character, buy or make potions which allow me to become friends with them and move in and set all the people I don't like on fire. It seems the fire spell when you use it by clicking just beyond another sim standing opposite of you, it sets them on fire. My sim and their army of green goblin children quickly took over a town by marrying the richest celebrity and then selling said celebrities house and burning their friends alive. Getting rid of the people that the celebrities and families live with is easier than making them paint in a locked basement until the end of time. Cheers.

"Don't quote me on that" - Spiff 2020

I still play TS3. I play all of the sims actually for some reason. I just decide which one i feel like playing and go. they all have their plus and minus points. TS3 I usually play more though do to the maximum amount of easy customization of objects and clothing, I also liked the open world a lot more.

I was literally playing Sims 3 today. If I have to be on lockdown, so do they

3:20 holy shit, *you made Sims into Animal Crossing*

I don't know if my game is glitched or not, but after I find a cave I can put the miner anywhere I want, but after the fact it's stuck there until I find another cave. That made me cram a lot absolutely chockful of pits, not even a scrap of land left.

So glad you did this! I love the Sims games. I play 4 right now, even though I do think it’s lacking in some SERIOUS areas. I’d love to see more exploits with Sir Cumference and whatever else you dig up!

Use this exploit together with the research bench from the university dlc, then find the best space rock and clone it, with the chance of making it even better all that money.

I have fond memories of my sister and I playing Sims 1 when it came out. Now we've both been playing The Sims 3 nonstop and texting each other about our adventures!

After watching The Spiffing Brit videos for a couple of days, I already felt like a veteran. Therefore, I pressed the subscribe button and made a cup of tea for myself. Unfortunately, my grandparents - unlike my parents - did not have Yorkshire Tea, but only Lipton Yellow Label.

FYI Spiff. In one of my Sims 3 playtroughs, my male sim got abducted by aliens while Stargazing with maxed logic skill, after that he gave birth. So Tobe Lerone might not be dumb to prepare for that. xD

Honestly, I did not know this was an exploit, but I have found out several other similar methods, where you pretty much take either a werewolf or dog sim, give them the gatherer or hunter trait, and then pretty much have an army of living drills which will find loads and loads of valuable materials you can refine and sell for massive profit- The trade offs with that are, if you're using a werewolf, they're restricted to only being able to find metals, gems, and I think bugs or something like that, but you get credit for everything you collect, which will allow you to unlock powerful bonuses such as the heart-shaped gem cut, and generally increase the value/volume of things that you find, meanwhile if you use dogs you can find all kinds gems, metals, and even space rocks, but you won't be able to get any credit for the things you collect, because it'll be your dog doing it, therefore not getting any bonuses unlocked by completing collecting journal challenges, cats are...not very good from what I remember, they're only capable of collecting/hunting bugs, animals, and other living things, which are only valuable if you find exceptionally rare ones, and even then it just can't compete with the consistency that comes with the thousands of dollars per item that you can make from refined gems, metals and and space rocks- If it counts in your journal though, you can just use this method to collect space rocks for your journal challenge, and then just go nuts with a werewolf and pack of digging dogs, since once you're done cashing in on the exploit and using it to fill your space rock collection journal, you can stop it and just start using the hunting features to find such things, as, if I'm correct, it might not matter who or what collects the space rock, as long as the one who analyzes it has the perks, you'll probably get all the benefits, and therefore will further be able to do this- Also, I wonder if this works with places like the catacombs, because if so, you may be able to make an even wider variety of loot- Edit: Also, it should be mentioned, almost all these methods, including the one in the video, require some sort of DLC, the method shown in the video by Lord Spiff himself is only available if you have the Sims 3 Ambitions expansion, as that unlocks the cosignment shop, and the mining drill, meanwhile, you can use a gem cutter to refine gems at no cost and to unlock new special gem cuts that are equally as powerful as the mist expensive, and most difficult to unlock, heart-shaped gem cut, but that is only available if you have the Sims 3 Supernatural expansion, as well, werewolves are only available in the Sims 3 Supernatural as well, meanwhile, dogs can of course only be obtained via the Sims 3 Pets expansion. It's all very separated, and can vary in degrees of complication, but generally, the more DLC you own, the more options you have for your mining operation, for example, if you don't have the gem cutter from the Supernatural expansion, you may also want to keep in mind that you may actually not be making an ideal profit from cutting every last gem, as cutting a gem with too low value with a high value cut will boost it's value more, yes, but using more expensive cuts on cheap gems will actually cause you to make less profit or even lose money, since the bonus that using more valuable cuts gives you is based on percentage, say you're using a cut that costs 500 to cut via mail, and it will boost the original value of a gem by 200% it's initial value, but you are using it on a raw gem that's only worth 10 dollars initially, then it'll only be worth 20 after you cut it with this uber expensive and valuable cut, meaning you'd actually lose 480 dollars in the process, however, if you have the gem machine from the Supernatural expansion, this math becomes irrelavent because you'll be able to cut gems for completely free, meaning that the most prestigious and valuable cuts will always turn you the most profit per gem, there are also additions made by the Sims 3 World Adventures that'll add new gems and cuts to your game, but I can't vouch for how they may or may not change this strategy as I don't own that expansion myself.

Spiff: *Releases a video in the afternoon* Me: *TEA SOUNDS*

Thanks for cheering me up Spiff, your voice and humor are a great thing

I never cared much for the sims series but you make it actually look like fun. I love the way you chose to play it is without a doubt the best way.

Crazy that I get back into Sims 3 during this quarantine, and then one of my favorite UKpostsrs makes a video on it. Perfect timing!

yes! more TS3! would love to see more of Sir. Cumference and Toby Larone :D

Ah, this makes me want to revisit Sims 3 or Sims Medieval. I was really looking forward to that Animal Crossing video and hope you are able to get it back up.

This first half honestly feels like some God or simulator controller focusing on one /fit/ poster just to fuck up his life. It's great

This exploit mixed with the cloning machine from sims university and the transfiguring from supernatural forever changed how I played sims. So much so I haven’t played it in a month and am somewhat disappointed in the sims 4

Spiff, your flattery gets me to like the vid every time.

Sims 3 is my comfort game. Something I've consistently been coming back to every so often since it came out pretty much

I was just trying every inventions my sims made. the drill was my love from the first sight ~~ although i didn't made people jump in holes, just stole some sims from here and there and set them to dig a lot, the gems were for my collection. much more easy than having werewolves run around and yes, the sims 3 must be my favourite of the series, still enjoy playing it!

Dude there's literally a 0 pound wallpaper and floor, don't keep walls bare.

I've been playing a ton of Sims 3 since there's a stay-at-home order where I live right now. Let's me live out the fantasy of going outside and having a job. Love your videos, thanks for keeping me entertained through quarantine

I love listening to your commentary on classic games. My mother used to prefer Red Rose tea. I ordered some regular Yorkshire Tea (purely because of your unofficial endorsement) and she prefers it. (I didnn't-- want to spend the extra coin on Yorkshire Gold) Thanks for making her breakfast better though. Anything for you. I know nothing about the flavors of tea and I enjoyed it myself. Know not if I prefer it over any other kinds, but it is an enjoyable flavor of tea.

I played Sims 3 back when I still had my laptop and got some amazing achievements without exploits and playing just one Sim: 1. Earned 100k Simoleons working as an astronaut 2. Graduated university with all A's in every degree 3. Became an unexpected celebrity 4. Beat Grim Reaper in chess to save a close friend 5. Became best friends with Grim Reaper afterwards

Jim Pickens: "My god, I found my spirit animal!"

I like the "perfectly balanced" games the most, they bring the utmost joy.

The Sims 3 is my favorite Sims and I still love it! I have 4, but I don't play it as much as 3. However, I've NEVER even heard of the excavator or this spelunking. This was really fun to watch!

The Sims 3 is my happy place. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and hope you make more!

Ha, I'm still revisiting sims 3 now and then. I have several of the expansions, the combination of supernatural, pets and superstar is really fun (I had a stage magician who was a witch). The pets, particularly the dogs, are amazing for sniffing out gems, while the cats hunt and often catch rare prey. I swear the pets bring in more money to the household for most of the game than the sims do.

The most overpowered way to make money I used was learning one song on a guitar and constantly going to the subways and playing that song

This is what I have been waiting for. You should look into toddlers in sims 4

Hey Spiff! Long time subscriber but somehow this one passed me by until just now! Just a quick response to say I still play The Sims3 from time to time. I find it totes chilled, and stupidly fun. I invsted a bit of money into the DLCs of 3 and don't want to do the same with Sims4 so I'll stick with it until maybe Sims5 comes out, if that's gonna be a thing. Great video bud, cheers! I will be trying this tactic! Please can we see more of The Sims3 on your channel :)

When I saw you typing "Sir", I was was expecting the surname to be Cumcision.

I could have watched this for 9 hours straight . I was sad when it was over

I always love a sims or a civ video. Keep up the good work Spiff.

Hi Spiff! I still play SIms 3 about since it came out, and still had no idea about this exploit! XD Altough I have been concentrating more on the building in later years. Thanks for this video, you glorious man you!

My sim is an inventor and she actually has a mining drill in her inventory as we speak. She also happens to have two very inconvenient children and a deadbeat husband... _Extraordinary wealth, here we come_

Endgame alchemy plus consignment is incredibly broken. I remember getting 300k from a day of selling higher tier potions making them three at a time.

thank you for visiting the sims3 i hope you do more in this game. love the videos

I am sorry but your voice is so calming i can even listen to it as a lullaby. I mean despite all the exploitation content.

has anyone else noticed that he makes his own stock image water mark for the images

Last Time I was this early we Americans were dumping tea in a harbor.

I feel the same way as Sir. Comfrence in college, wake up learn new skills, stay lonely, repeat.

Still playing this too! And lol, very nice trick!! Would love some more Sims 3 stuff.

"giga-lobster" sounds like a new character name

April Fools Day- The Spiffing Brit turns into the Spiffing American

Fantastic content as always. I was suprised you chose this game because I started playing it again recently myself

Love to see more Sims 3 content. It's still my favourite game in the series

When is a game NOT a tycoon game with you, Spiff? My answer to myself: when it already is a tycoon game, you melon.

"Salute the Union Jack flying above your PC" *Sees American Flag above PC* Eh, Good enough...*Drinks Coffee*

Literally best sims video I've seen in a while!

I played 3 until the person who owned it moved out a couple years ago. My favorite exploit was the one College dorm where you can sell everyone's stuff and build your own little hut on the roof.

I must admit I was expecting literally anything EXCEPT gigalobster

“Check these two videos too” “content blocked by Nintendo”. Lol did they not like you exploiting it!

More more more ☺️ this was very fun, thanks spiff 😘

Very nice i will definetly use this next time im gonna play the game xD Thank you very much I thought I already knew all those little hacks in the sims 3

If i correctly remember in Sims 3 or 4 when your sim died in house fire the game gave you 300k

1:17 My ancestors: "let's go create a broken family"

everytime i see a new video from spiff i have just finished drinking my tea and i think myself nice
