The game needs rebalance regarding these. After investing many time to reach Programming lvl 10, it unlocks an option to “Hack the Bank” and you can even get caught doing it. It gave my zoi only 1.000 bucks when I succeded.
Then I tried commiting a crime. The first time I did “Commit Secondhand Fraud” (which is a low lvl option, I think it unlocks on Crime lvl 1), I gained 1800, almost the double, and with no risk of getting caugh (I think).
I don’t want the Crime aspect to not make almost any money and become a almost useless option (regarding moneymaking) that only serves for roleplaying purposes. I think is nice to earn high bucks in sacrifice of your zoi values and morals. I just think skills needs to give more money to the player, right now they are almost useless.
It takes so long to write an app in the beginning, and it gave my zoi 100 bucks only. Even with skill maxed out, I can’t make a dime out of it.
