Problem with "No 20K Handout"
RainbowTigress:
I have had this hack installed for awhile, but I just had something strange happen. Cassandra, Mortimer, and Alexander all moved to a new house a long time ago. Mortimer died, and Alexander moved out, leaving all the money with Cass and her new family. I've moved the kids out and had them get married and then sent some to college. For the most part, the family's cash has been around $500-600. All the children are grown now except one, and Mortimer's youngest son with Bella who is living with Cassandra and her husband now. One of Cassandra's daughters moved back to the house after graduating and got married, with her new husband moving into the Goth mansion. They had a baby, who is now a toddler. I decided they needed a house of their own even though the Goth house was more than big enough for all of them. So the three sims moved out, two adults and one toddler, leaving two adults, a teen, and a baby. When I went to move the new family into a house, I looked to see how much they could afford. To my astonishment, they had $698,286! I wondered how much Cassandra and the others had been left with, and they only have $95,771! How did this happen? I thought the moving out sims were supposed to get a small percentage of the household net worth, but this seems backwards. I could fix it with a money order, probably several money orders, but how did this happen in the first place? This doesn't jive with what JMP describes in the rtfm:

Eliminates the magic 20K handout when a sim moves out or graduates from college. A sim moving out will simply take a proportional split of the cash reserves of the current family. No more. No such thing as a free lunch. If a sim family breaks up, the sim being booted out will take the minimum amount to afford a lot, 3K, from the treasury if available. Otherwise, he gets whatever is left. If that's not enough to afford even the odd 2x2 lot....too bad! Life's a bitch and then you're raped by wild boars!

I wonder if the amount that Cassandra and crew were left with was just the amount that they themselves had earned from their jobs. Although the overall amount appears to have been roughly divided by 7, coincidentally the same number of Sims, and Cassandra was left with roughly only 1/7th plus I suppose her and hubby's earnings.
Rainbow, I think this is a miracle. You have somehow broken the magic spell and proved that the money can indeed be separated from the Goth Estate without the help of gold-digging liaisons.
RainbowTigress:
LOL, but I wanted the money to stay with the family, and for the daughter moving out with her husband and little girl to start over with what they are making with their jobs. I thought someone posted a similar problem while using this mod, but I can't find it here. Perhaps it was back at the "other place."

Ancient Sim is on another post right now, where there was mention of a moving in college Sim with $6M - so that may be where you saw this.
RainbowTigress:
I saw that just now, but I remember reading this a little while back, someone was saying that it didn't leave much money with their elders, who were the ones staying, and their adult children moved out taking all their hard-earned money.
