    I've had this bug as well, for as long as I've been playing Sims 4 the last several years, with zero mods, zero custom content, and only the Seasons DLC. However, I think I've FINALLY found a solution, without cheats!

    After trial and error I've discovered it's not so much a bug as it is something like a cached file- that is to say, the Sims we download from the Gallery were specifically uploaded from a Saved Game. If you save a Sim from the world into the Gallery, its cached file will go with- their relationships and their money. (At least, in my experience!)

    So how do we fix their pockets? Duplicate the sim!

    Whether you save your Sims into individual Households or save Households for several, this should work for you!

    For a Household with a single Sim:

    1. Make a new Household.
    2. Download from Gallery, replace Household.
    3. Download from Gallery again, merge Household.
    4. Remove the first Sim from the original Download.
    5. Save/Reupload and play!

    For a Household with many Sims:

    1. Make a new Household.
    2. Download from Gallery, replace Household.
    3. Remove all other Sims except the one you want to fix. (If you want to fix all of them, repeat steps 3-5.)
    4. Upload to Gallery.
    5. Edit Household, remove the copy and download/merge with the new version you just uploaded.
    6. Save/Reupload and play!

    I really really hope this helps, I personally find this more authentic and easier than using the cheat console. I'm very new to the forums (signed up just to share this!) so I hope I've explained thoroughly! ❤️ My apologies if this is something everyone already just kinda knew, haha.

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? 1.59.73.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? City Living, cats and dogs, get famous, island living, outdoor retreat, spa day, Vampires, Realm of magic, vintage glamour, laundry day, my first pet, holiday pack.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? creating a household, and attempt to move them onto a lot.
What happens when the bug occurs? The households starting funds are around -1400, which makes me unable to purchase the lot. A workaround I have found is to place a completely blank sim, purchase the lot, and edit them after in CAS.
What do you expect to see? The household starting with an appropriate amount of funds. Have never had this issue. I have removed the few CC downloaded directly before the issue began occuring
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

@ordonknight Did you test this without mods/cc at all ?

Mods/CC gets outdated with patches so you need to test on a vanilla game.
