[NEEDS INPUT] Money for sold house not added when merging families

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.60.54.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything, except: Magic, Vampires, Strangerville and most accessoire packs.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? First go into the household you want to play with, then select: move household. Select another existing household and join that household. Result: all simoleons from the first household is gone. The furniture moves to the combined household inventory, but all funds are gone! It happened to me twice out of two times merging households this way.
What happens when the bug occurs? Simoleons from the moving household disappear.
What do you expect to see? The two household funds combined.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Ever since the patch that made it possible to split from households and give funds - before then it was not possible to move from one household into another household!

I hope the bug here described, is fixed soon!

  • @gjbbuitelaar Are you not getting any money at all or no funds for selling the house ?

    What happens if you sell the furniture ? Does that fund get added properly ?
  • That's the option I chose on both occasions, actually. So no, that funds does not add up to the new household fund.

    No money at all is added up to the new household. Not from selling the house, the furniture or the existing household funds...

    @gjbbuitelaar I tested this on my save and the household funds were added for me but not the price for the house. Furniture I didn't test yet.

    Is this happening for all saves for you or a specific one ?
  • Thanks for testing. I play with several families in one save. So far I have encountered it twice. Both times the sim lived in the city. One in the penthouse, the other in a regular apartment.

    @gjbbuitelaar I haven't tested an apartment yet. Will do that. You of course don't get any money for the 'house' in an apartment as you're only renting and not owning. You should get the funds you own tough
  • @crinrict Yes, the value of the household is what I was going for. The penthouse, however, is actually 'bought', so that value should be reflected in moving.
    My first sim was lucky enough to win the lottery, so I noticed the missing money very easily ><

    Reading your post again, I'm now a bit unsure if we're seeing the same thing along

    There's three different money pools

    1. Value of the house/Penthouse (not applicable for apartments)
    2. Value of the furniture
    3. Funds the household has.

    So when I merge together two families, the new family should get 1 + 3 for sure and 2 if you sell the furniture. If you keep the furniture, it should all be in the new household inventory

    When I tested, I got 3 but not 1, so that's definitely not how it should be. I kept the furniture and they were all in the household inventory

    From how I'm reading your report, you're missing 1 + 3 and not only 1. Is that correct ?

  • Hi @crinrict thanks for testing. You're right. I remember missing all of the miney and additional value for furniture and owned property. Strange that we have different outcomes.
