One thing that's annoyed me in most Sims games is that when a sim finally ages into a young adult and moves out (no matter the family funds) they always start out with little cash. Especially in Sims 4 when you can't directly move them into a new lot so have limited options to which lots they can move to, as their funds are only around $20,000. A neat idea would be to have the parents start a trust fund for each child and every sim week money is transferred into their trust funds so that by the time they move out they will have a considerable amount of money. Obviously this is completely optional and you can also choose the amount that is transferred each week (example, $100, $500, $1000) Just an idea as it can sometimes be unrealistic for a recently aged young adult sim who comes from a wealthy family with a mansion to move into a small 1 bedroom house. Obviously cheats and what not can solve this but just thought it would add to the whole family experience, something that's severely lacking in the Sims 4. Your thoughts?

That would be nice to have. Cool idea.

I'd expand that into actual savings accounts where teens could put the money they earn from part-time jobs or selling things like collectibles they find, paintings and wood sculptures they make, etc. Right now there's really no use to getting a part-time job unless you're playing a poor household; a savings account would give more purpose, and if/when we get a University pack young people could take that money to help pay for their education, or if they choose to wait to go to college when they move out. (I'm also hoping for apartments to be added in a future EP/GP but that's another thread altogether.)

I really like this idea. It would also be very nice if there could be an easier way for Sims to move out.

I love this idea, also agree it would be good to put teens wage ect in account to. Or even just the option to decide how the household money is split when the household is split.

+1 here. I'd love to have more fine-grained money/wealth handling in the game.

If it's just for the purpose of moving I'd sugest proper moving out option through the computer like in previous games.

I don't really see a reason to have that, other than "yey we have a feature that is here just to be here" :neutral: .

Glad to see a few fellow simmers agree. This is only a very small feature but sometimes the smaller features can be the most fun/impressive. Even adding a bank or loan shark which allowed you to borrow money and repay it back over weekly installments would go a long way. But as @Jen_Charlton said, just the simple option of being able to spit household funds when a sim moves out would be a great addition

The reason being to give the Sim who moves out enough money to afford a proper house. Not start out with $20,000 or whatever it is. You have a family that's millionaires and living in a 3 storied mansion. Their oldest kid moves out into a small 1 bedroom house with a little over 3 grand left. Not exactly realistic

So basically proper moving out option :)

Well yes :) but also giving that sim or sims some of the family funds or extra starting money to give them more options when it comes to choosing a new house :)
