I’m randomly losing 25 simolians every hour: my sims aren’t doing anything to have had that happen... I don’t have any idea what it is... it seems to happen any time I use anything in the kitchen... (not with making food) PLEASE HELP! My sims are becoming poor because of it! Only when they use the stove to cook what came from the fridge and even while just washing dishes....

I am also having this issue. Every single time my sim is using a computer and they stop using it they lose 25 simoleons. This also happens when they stop watching TV.

Hi. Don’t know if this got sorted but I noticed I was losing 25 after using the computer and if you have eco lifestyle and the neighbourhood action plans and back to the old days is one of the ones selected I think it’s a fine when they use technology like the computer or the tv.

Your household (or Sim) have a stuck NAP (Back to the Old Days)Try this:go in your householdpause the gameopen the cheat console(PC: CTRL+ Shift+ C Mac: CMD + Shift + C Console: press all four shoulder buttons) and write testingcheats trueshift + left mouseclick mailboxInstant Enact Neighborhood Action Plan -> Back to the Old Daysunpause the game shortpause the gameshift + left mouseclick mailboxInstant Repeal Neighborhood Action Plan -> Back to the Old Daysuse a electronic device and check for the -25 simoliansopen the cheat console and write testingcheats false and close the cheat consoleFixed? Then save this version and replace the household with this (If you are console player and don’t want disabled achievements)

@SheriGR Yeah so my sim was playing games on the computer and everytime they stopped 25 simoleons was deducted from household funds. The NAP I had on was Back to the Old Days and in the description it does mention getting a fine when technology is used. I have just repealed that NAP and tried again and don’t seem to be getting any more deductions so I think it is related to that.

@EmmO218 Does your Sim household have a bar of any sort? If so that could be the culprit. Making drinks will cost your household simoleons. Just put the bar in your household inventory until your Sims earn some more money.The other option could be that your Sims are giving tips to street- or other musicians, DJ's or buying food in stalls.It seems that you must keep an eye out for your sims all the time.Have fun playing 😉

It’s only ever when they’re at home and only in the kitchen. Right now I’m playing with only 2 sims. Last time it happened one of them was asleep and the other was reading a book... now what would cause 25 to just be spent. That doesn’t make since if ones asleep and ones reading.

@EmmO218 Did you lock the doors? It could well be that a kleptomaniac or a Vampire entered your house. If not, then I will have to look into it further.

No, no doors are locked. Nothing has been stolen and no vampires. I just can’t figure it out. I just did a hour hour gameplay and it was every hour in game that the 25 came out. I can’t find out why it’s happening

@EmmO218 Do you play with Custom Content or Modifications? And if so, would you want to try to play without them and check if it is by any chance cc, mod or script related?

The only mod is the mc command center, I could try the game without that and see

@EmmO218I doubt that this mod would be the issue or the problem.

Me too. It’s the only mod that I have on my game. I don’t have any others. But this all started happening right after the first update before snowy escape. I haven’t heard of anyone else with this problem.

Me too. It also happens in my kitchen. Randomly in the middle of cooking or when I load the dishwasher
