Inheritance

I would love this! I mentioned this in my topic about the problems of death in TS4 (linked in my signature). It would be great if you had some control over sharing out wealth between descendants who live in separate households. It could also cause some good old-fashioned drama!

I would love this!
It could totally be part of a pack focused around funerals and cemeteries (I doubt such a pack would happen, but I'd love it!). Or in a Generations type pack.
But for starters, I would love if sims would acknowledge their family members passing away when living in another lot.

Yes like in Sims 2 when a parent died depending on relationship they sent money why isn't not here?

I'd love it if Sims who never knew the deceased didn't mourn them unless you told them to; only Sims who were very close to them should do that autonomously on any kind of a regular basis.

What would a pack about funerals and cemeteries look like, you think? *curious*

I miss that feature so much. Q-Q It really gave an incentive to boost family relationships.

A pack around funerals and cemeteries would solidify families and add a cemetery lot type where Sims could bury their loved ones and visit. It would be great also for rebel teens to hang out at night for example and stuff like that.
A funeral could be held as a new type of party where you could celebrate your recently deceased sim. Sims could share anecdotes about them, give a thoughtful speach, and send flowers for example. Maybe they could release balloons to the sky as well, and stuff like that.
Then the will would be read and family and friends would inherited accordingly.

Agreed! This makes me want a generations-style game pack so bad.

I'd love this! And to be able to will particular objects as well, to any individual. But... I don't want inheritance to be "on" by default. I want it to be something I have to set up for the game to do it, so Sims don't be default get rich fast.

I would love to see this implemented in game.

Totally! Like, then there'd be something to actually do when you're told to "get affairs in order" at the end of a sim's life.

What if Sims could leave their property to specific Sim(s) in a will?

Dictate who will get what amount of money upon their death, and who won't get anything at all (ex. a child, sibling, or ex-spouse they don't like)?

And maybe be able to set conditions for inheritance (ex. their child has to marry).

Good idea.
