idea for a basegame update

i don't know how to word it correctly but can we have a option each household earn their own money rather than the money for the whole household?

to name something, maybe your sim wants to run their own business, running their own furniture shop, create a market to sell the collections or food to earn money while your other sim from the same househould have a career (freelance career, active or rabbit-hole career) to earn its own money

i know other versions also exist like doing gardening, doing nectar, singing, playing instruments to name a few, this other sim can earn its own money

i do think it should be optional for those who doesn't want this!

if i'm doing the challenges i only create 1 sim otherwise it will be too easy...i know we have the money cheat but i want to play it fairly and i get bored very easily if i use the money cheat to become rich (i used to do this a lot but after awhile i ran out of ideas)

as for the general household i can't think of any if the new option is toggled on but little do i do know the whole household have to pay the bills after awhile so i can't think of any for the whole household

i'm doing some certain challenge you start very poor either in a small house (with the basic stuff your sim needs like a fridge, bed, bath or shower, toilet, mirror and the stall) or with no house at all (meaning your sim is completely homeless) but it's too easy to earn money for the whole household if you play with 2 or more sims in 1 household so that's how i came up with this idea

sure your sim won't have to be completely poor but i want the option each sim earns their own money rather than the whole household, that was my whole point!

i hope you guys consider this in basegame!

update: i think i might know how to collect the money into 1 household combined with the toggle turned on

similair to "Get To Work" (except it's a little different) you can put one sim money into 1 household and the other sim(s) can do the same thing to add their money into 1 household, this way the whole household can pay the bills and buy more items if they collect their money (they have earned) into 1 household (i just came up with this idea)

  • We could really use a banking system update.  I would love for Sims to be able to have individual funds separate from the household funds.  I don't know how that would play out in Build Mode, though.  There could perhaps be a toggle so you could chose which account you're drawing from.  Sims could opt for joint accounts, or there could still be a Household account that anyone can transfer their funds into.

    For now, there's the vault from Get Famous, and you can set up a banking system of sorts by purchasing business lots, as each business has its own funds, if you don't mind gobbling up a bunch of lots for that purpose...

    agreed, we need better options if you own the businesses, the times when the opening hours is opened and the opening hours when it's closed, i now have to do this manually which is super annoying

    as for "Get Famous" i guess it will have to do for now with the alternative business lots
