I don't understand why EA would code something like this in the game. Why not just allow the sim to move into a house with some funds? Not everyone becomes homeless and pennyless when they get kicked out...
Because EAxis didn't code that. I did that. *EAxis* randomly gave them a MILLION HOJILLION DOLLARS by moving them into a HUGE MANSION that you couldn't have afforded at ALL, creating a game where it's actually BENEFICIAL to play the kick-out roulette to move yourself into a SUPER house, which you can then sell for megabux and defeat the entire point. I found this to be offensive, so now they can only buy what they can afford, which, on $0, means NOTHING! If you don't want them to be homeless on the street, pick them a house and PAY for it.

Yes but that menu screen is somewhat confusing and not intuitive.

First you left in the default EAxis text that says if kicked out they will be assigned a random house.

Second it shows the selected sim to move out as having 0 simoleans. I initially thought that meant they couldn't afford a house, but actually it's the amount of money they will have once all is said and done and they are moved in after you buy them a house.

It confused me so I thought they weren't able to afford a house and that kick out still assigned them a random one so that is why I initially chose that option based on what I was read in the menu and my interpretation of if. :P

Now that I know it's not a big deal, but the screen could have been made a bit more clear on those points. *shrug*
