Can't afford a house after graduation...

You mean to tell me that a sim loses more money than they gain, despite the starting bonus when they have a new career?

@Dijktafone no I meant as in my sim has just graduated and had to move out of the university dorm with a household fund of 4,500. I couldn't afford any liveable lot with that sum!

I wish I was able to keep the house I had before moving to university and still return home in that same house

Can't sims on their spare time get to a easel and start painting to make §§§ while in an inspired mood after researching art on a computer?

So you had a house, then how come you only had 4500 simoleons? As I assume the game prompted you to sell your house before moving to the dorm, right?

Cheap apartment in SM and an art easel to save quick cash! That's what I'll do if I am broke for awhile after. (I like playing without cheats).

Yes I was thinking about that too, however, the game should provide a solution of rehousing after graduation, free of external moneymakers.

I was just checking San Myshuno apartments as an option to start with. place your sim on an empty lot, go to manage world, get into the build mode of a cheap apartment in San Myshuno, bulldoze it, go out and then back into your sim. move house to the apartment. simply place the basics:

A shower, wash basin, toilet, fridge, bed and computer. that will post you near §4,000.

Yes but this is a workaroud. The picture is as follows. A sim goes to uni, gets graduated, maybe even with honors, and yet can't afford a starter lot. Because, not all DU users have necessarely access to San Myshuno. In my book, this is preposterous. At exit, I feel as though you should at least have: starting funds+job enrolment bonus, which is about 20 000§

I just work it around by setting my family funds to a "starter" fund then just build it from there as careers do give out good pay once you are graduated!

Wow! They really pushed the realism then! Pretty soon in certain areas, one won't even be able to afford to rent-a-room.
