Money Order request
J. M. Pescado:
The concept of "individual" funds doesn't really exist in TS2 and trying to shoehorn one in would simply be an immense pain in the neck. Individual sims cannot have "personal money" without rendering it unusable. If you REALLY wanted to give sims "personal" funds that stay unusable in such a manner, might I suggest simply 0x2A'ing one of the "Cash Sack" objects that already exists in the game, setting the Object Value, and stuffing it into the owner's inventory, so he has a cash sack that he can delete out of his inventory to liquidate the funds? Not only would this serve to accomplish your purpose, but it would also be visually representative.

I don't really agree about how painful and unusable personal money is. It can be assessed, added to and taken from by any hack the hacker wishes to make do so (like me with your money orders - my object has an interaction to see what value of them the sim has, like a statement, and to cash the whole family's or just his own - to his own family funds even if he is selectable in someone else's house).
The idea is that just like with human personal wealth the money can voluntarily or by standing order be transferred into household funds to pay bills etc. This typically happens when a husband and wife have seperate bank accounts for their personal earnings, and have agreed to contribute to the household account a certain amount each per period. And so a controller object is set up to automatically deduct a specified amount per sim as the player wishes.

Brain hurts now. You people are weird.

In my experience, couples that keep seperate accounts are more likely to bounce checks because they always forget how got money last. Or they pull out the wrong debit card at the register.
The flip side of this are couples that share accounts and both have debit cards. There is always someone in the relationship that will go and... buy gas and forget to tell someone. Someone always forgets to hand over receipts to the book keeper...
Thankfully, in my case, The Husband knew he'd forget and doesn't have a debit card.
Inge:
Though with Sims, there will be a friendly Controller Object looking after their accounts ;)
