@Tota---well, you do have a point there, lol So you would familyfunds that amount (50,000 or whatever you decided) out of the parents' fund and then who would it go to?
@MichelleLynn01---I don't know how involved you are in the makeover of Dragon Valley, nor do I know exactly what *look* you are going for, however there are some really neat medieval worlds out there now, Castle Keep is not the only one.
Here is one world I've been dying to use---
Cotes d'Ambonnay He did a fabulous job with it, and there isn't any CC used, some store content I think.
A couple more:
Dracul Isle--- Pity that the pics can no longer be seen, but if you use google images and search Sims3 Dracul Isle, you can see what it looks like. Pretty sure this one does not have CC either, other than the rabbithole rugs are needed, unless you went through and buried the rabbitholes underground. That would be a fair amount of work though! (My Stone Kings story takes place here, the castles are amazing!)
Avalon---a very nice world, with some beautiful medieval style houses, but it has CC.
Simwood Forest---if I remember correctly, this world had an issue with a sim dying and no grim reaper, Twallan fixed the issue for me a long time ago (years ago!!) in his ErrorTrap mod. I don't know if a patch or anything has fixed that issue (I still use ErrorTrap)---but it's a great world to get houses from if nothing else, lol
Darthtopia---takes a TON of CC, the neat thing about it, it has little sections for each of the supernatural types. Great buildings, the houses are mostly empty though, and the lot sizes are odd, and there isn't very much space for expanding sim families. Those are the reasons I don't use this world, but she did a really great job with it. :)
There are many more, but they would take more work, being mostly empty, or, for me, most of them were too small.
Rownshire was one that was just too small (I like large sized worlds) and it needed to much work to get it ready for the challenge.
If you own Dragon Valley, there are a lot of usable clothes from that world, they just need a bit of recoloring, lol
Too much info there, sorry! I got carried away...I just happen to love medieval stuff! :D
