@LonelyFew - That is really strange. It sounds a bit similar to this bug report: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Sims-downloaded-from-my-gallery-catalog-do-not-have/td-p/8592831 What do you think?
I know you don't have any mods - do you have any cc? Since it's working in a new save but not your older one, it's always possible that something needs to be updated. Could you try doing a "save as" of one of the affected saves just to test? You can copy TheSims4 folder from your Documents folder onto the desktop or somewhere easy to find as a just-in-case backup. Then remove all cc, delete the localthumbcache.package file from \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\ and do a game repair (In Origin, right-click TS4 and choose "repair").
If you don't have any cc or mods at all, then just follow the directions for the repair. Open the "save as" copy and see if it makes any difference.
Please let us know how this goes, and if you think it's the same as the bug report I linked. Thanks!

@LonelyFew - does this bug report sound like the same issue? https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Sims-downloaded-from-my-gallery-catalog-do-not-have/td-p/8592831

@LonelyFew - I merged your posts into the bug report thread.
@CGrant56 shared a way to get around the issue if you're trying to place a sim into a lot - in this post: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Sims-downloaded-from-my-gallery-catalog-do-not-have/m-p/8631892#M119307
Could you try using the money cheat to set your sim's funds back to 10,000 simoleans? (use a "save as" copy of your game; don't save anything to your main save for now)
Use ctrl-shift-c to open the cheat console window
type "testingcheats on" without the quotes
type "money 10000" without the quotes
type "testingcheats off" without the quotes
Your household funds should go to 10,000 simoleans and you should be back to where you started. Please let us know how this goes
(*edited to say you can use any amount with the cheat, so if your sims had 540,000 simoleans, just use "money 540000")
