| - Simoleons are the currency used in most Sim games, as well being an essence in MySims Kingdom.
- The Simoleon File:Simcity buildit simoleon icon.png is a basic unit of monetary measure in all SimCity games. Simoleons can be used in three main ways, to maintain the city, to pay off debts, and to make purchases. Simoleons can be obtained by taxes and business deals, such as the GigaMall in SimCity 3000. Better buildings requires more simoleons, and later on, the player will need to invest money in certain areas, such as population growth, in order to obtain certain buildings.
- Its value can vary between titles, and doesn't consistently reflect any real-life currency (such as the US dollar or British pound), as many of the more expensive items are marked down in price, while some of the cheapest may be marked up; for example, in The Sims 2 an SUV costs approx. §4000, while a pizza costs §40. Usually, items of limited duration are more expensive, while durable objects or house structures are cheaper. This reflects the fact that a Sim has less time to earn money in the series than would be available in real life. Much like the real world, better quality items are generally more expensive. Also, the simoleon has no sub-units; the only way something can cost less than §1 is for it to be free.

| - Simoleons are the currency used in most Sim games, as well being an essence in MySims Kingdom.
- The Simoleon File:Simcity buildit simoleon icon.png is a basic unit of monetary measure in all SimCity games. Simoleons can be used in three main ways, to maintain the city, to pay off debts, and to make purchases. Simoleons can be obtained by taxes and business deals, such as the GigaMall in SimCity 3000. Better buildings requires more simoleons, and later on, the player will need to invest money in certain areas, such as population growth, in order to obtain certain buildings. If the level of simoleons goes into the 'red' (in debt), the player may need to take out a loan. The finance advisor will also offer business deal buildings if the player goes into debt. Going too deep in debt in SimCity 4 can also result in the mayor being booted out of office.
- Its value can vary between titles, and doesn't consistently reflect any real-life currency (such as the US dollar or British pound), as many of the more expensive items are marked down in price, while some of the cheapest may be marked up; for example, in The Sims 2 an SUV costs approx. §4000, while a pizza costs §40. Usually, items of limited duration are more expensive, while durable objects or house structures are cheaper.

Also, the simoleon has no sub-units; the only way something can cost less than §1 is for it to be free. In SimCity, a stretch of road is §10 per segment and a Police Department §500. According to the SimCity 2000 "City Value" menu, one § unit that represents the cost of a building actually equals §1,000. In another Maxis game, Spore, the Sporebuck symbol in both the Civilization and Space Stages (§) is the same symbol as a Simoleon (§). In The Sims Medieval, Simoleons are known as Simoles although the § character is still used to represent them.
