Is there still a portal bug?
ZephyrZodiac:
Not quite. You enter the lot you want your sims to buy, and place mortgage shrubs to cover the discrepancy in funds. Check to make sure the lot is now cheap enough, save and exit. Now your sims can afford to buy the house, and just pay interest each day on the mortgage, which can be redeemed as your sims earn enough money to pay the 1,000 or 10,000 simoleons per shrub. The only argument I have with them is the interest is just a little unrealistic, but then this isn't RL!

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!
For the Capps most of the men took the name of the wives so I went and changed them to the men's maiden names. For the Monty's its different bc their all males except Bianca so I gave them the wives maiden names. Now everyone has a different last name. I used the lot debugger in debug mode to change their last names bc I hear you not supposed to with SimPe.
ZephyrZodiac:
I think it's more confusing when you first start playing the Capps and the Montys. Once you play them for a while, you remember who lives in which house, especially once you have made some changes to the houses themselves, which are so very similar, unlike in PV, where you can marry off the three Brokes, move them each into their own (Broke) house, and you always remember which one lives in which house.
The only time I rename families per se, is when the first teen goes off to college, if for example, it's Dustin, then I would send him to college from the Uni "Send sims to College" menu, and name his household Broke 2. That's really just for convenience when I want to view the list of households with the lot sync tool.
Process Denied:
My favorite way to send a Sim money is to go to a relative or friends house and have them send money to them via Prescado's money order. My Pleasantview is so rich that I don't bother compensating the family or less it was a friend and not a relative. You don't have to worry about last names because you are sending it to a specific Sim.
ZephyrZodiac:
I usually use that for sending sims to college, as you can send them off and then post the money after them without exiting the lot. However, in my present, fairly new, hood, no-one can afford to send more than a couple of grand, so the mortgage shrubs are simpler and can be used at Uni too.
