You say they were initially fine. What exactly does that mean ? Are they older families you have placed in the library or did you create them just now ?

=====
Family structure: Adult Grandfather, YA, one teen and two children
Updated an existing family from Sept 2018
La Casa Azucar (original link)
https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/6DC75584854411E68F6C8DB56B977992
Created new family with same family structure in a new save.
Chu Family

=====
Family La Casa Azucar downloaded has §20,000 to start.
Chu Family fresh from CAS §28,000 to start.
=====
Uploaded the newly created Chu family to the gallery.
Closed the game and deleted the localthumbcache.package and all other cache files.
Opened a new save and downloaded the Chu household into a new save.
The downloaded family has only §20,000 to start.
Based on this test I would say this is an issue with households shared to the gallery.
