Re: Random Female Sims Walking The Street at Night & Talking about Cash

Hi @LonaBoom, 

Thanks for reaching out to share your concerns about this. It's wonderful to encounter simmers who care about keeping the game age appropriate. 

Thought bubbles are there to signify a conversation. Fire Hydrants, airplanes, fish, even money appear in thought bubbles, often with no rhythm or rhyme. They can appear at any time of the day, in every conceivable scenario and they can be about nothing at all or anything and everything age appropriate (as The Sims 4 is rated T for teen). For example, money could represent a shopping spree, wanting to go out to an expensive diner, thinking about taking a fancy holiday, maybe it is pay day and they are excited about having money in the bank to splurge at a party, it could even be about worrying about the house bills, or they could just be bragging about all their wealth, etc. There's a wide array of topics that little symbol can represent. 

From reading your posts and explanations behind why you were concerned about sims on night time strolls getting money thought bubbles when talking with other sims, I can understand how those dots are being connected for you. Please let me assure you, there is no correlation between sims going for a walk at night and the money thought bubble popping overhead. There is nothing nonferrous behind those interactions. 

I appreciate you creating this thread just in case. It's always best to be safe rather than sorry. ❤️ 

All the best,
