@Amuni50 This is probably related to the new way we've been given to transfer money in the pre DU patch or DU, I forget which. New sims still get the 20K or whatever just like they used to. But for older sims already in game, when you move them, you now get to decide how much money goes with them when you move them. But to solve your problem until the gurus make a change, I suggest you use one of the ingame cheats (kaching, motherlode, etc.) to set the amount of money a sim or family has before you upload them if you are uploading them from an active household. As for the ones that you've already uploaded, simply tell people use the freerealestate on cheat to place the sims and then one of the money cheats to set the amount of money a household has. Not the best solution but it should help improve the situation.
If I understand you correctly, the sims I already have in the gallery will not work for players unless they use a work around. Is that right? What a mess!! I'm curious as to why more people haven't mentioned this problem.

Yes but I really don't see it as a major issue. Mainly because I don't play new sims very often on a new lot and when I split a household I was always manually changing the money amounts using cheats anyway (add to one, take away the same amount from the other). It's really easy to do though the ingame cheats so I'd guess that's why it's not been mentioned. It wouldn't be a surprise to me if the people who have complained simply don't know about the cheats or don't know how to use them. The new option really makes transferring money easy and I no longer have to do it manually via the cheats.
What I don't get is why the older sims already in the gallery amounts changed. I mean, I would have thought that they would have been fixed amounts as of the day you uploaded them. That leads me to believe that sims in the gallery really don't or didn't have any money attached and they only got money when they were downloaded and added to somebody's personal library or when they are added to the game either directly from the gallery or the personal library. Before the change, that amount was always the same fixed amounts (20K for a single sim, etc.) Now though, it appears they get nothing or next to nothing when added to the game from either the gallery or a personal library while a new sim created in CAS still gets the 20K. I'm not really sure since I haven't downloaded very many sims from the gallery in a long time and none lately. All the playable sims in my save now are born in game with a few that I created in CAS for a specific purpose.
