Is there still a portal bug?
ZephyrZodiac:
My British sense of fair play says the same as yours, although it's just as easy to stick a couple of Inge's mortgage shrubs on the lot and then kaching or motherlode after they get in to pay off the mortgage - especially when you have more than one household with the same name and you can't be sure which one will get the cash with familyfunds!

Pescado has said that the things-stay shrub leaves behind unnecessary garbage on your lot. Thus he recommends that one not use this method. It might be easier to use the shrub, but apparently it isn't good for the lot.
Ness:
Mortgage shrubs are different to the stay things shrub.
I wonder if Pescado's magic wand would be useful in situations like this - I believe it depreciates the value, but I've never tried it so uncertain how it actually works.
ZephyrZodiac:
I've been using the mortgage shrubs a lot lately, and so far I don't think they've caused any problems. I stopped using the stay-things shrub back with NL when I had problems with it.
Speaking of which, from NL onwards I found that the last sim leaving a lot either to go to college or to be moved into another house no longer left it furnished and took all the value with them (not, of course, to college), but since Seasons it appears that this is back, the last sim I moved in this way left a furnished lot behind, arrived with only the simoleons in the bank balance, and when I used the lot again, it hadn't reset and he'd even left his leftovers behind!

Hmm - another example of crappy version control there?
The advantage of familyfunds is that you use it on the hood screen. Unless I'm missing a trick, all the others mean you have to put your sims on a lot, increase their funds, move them out and then buy the house you wanted them to have. That's all especialy annoying when you're doing it because the game burped. Now wouldn't it be nice if we could tell the 6 Monty families apart without having to rename them Monty1 to Monty6 in SimPE! Could the cheat be hacked? Of course my real daydream is for a lot debugger that sits on the hood screen as an awesome decoration! Think of all the wonderful things it could do - randomise, delete crap, help you get into lots that won't load......
