Oi - surprise household cash balance
What do you do when entering a house you did not play in a few RL months, just to find their cash balance is §100.000 rather than the §10.000 you expected? I try to figure what is wrong in this hou...

This case is still a mystery! I play on rotation, and I don't like that households cash change a lot when I'm not actively playing them. Normally the cash balance is more or less the exact sum it was when I left them. But this house has made more than §100.000 when not being played.
I suspect there are some features in this game that are running even if a house is not played. I previously had to fire all butlers because they kept charging their fee for all days I had played other houses. I play 56 days per rotation, so returning to butler bills covering 56 days is quite massive.
The household in question, is a retirement home, meaning 3 lodgers are seniors. Not all of them had a job earlier, but 2 of them might get pensions (wish the game could give us info on retired sims, like TS2 and TS3 did). Are pensions being paid on all the 55 days I'm not playing this house? I have retired elders in other houses, but never noticed a bigger change in cash, which should be even bigger if the sim had a well paid job.
Re traits, they are:
Squeamish, Foodie, Kleptomaniac.
Loner, Geek, Genius, Waterproof Sim.
Loner, Hot-headed, Snob, Observant.
The house keeper: Hot-headed, Family-oriented, Art lover.
None of them has fulfilled aspiration etc.
Btw: Lot traits are Good schools and Haunted. (hm, why on Earth did I pick good schools for a retirement home, suppose they are not having kids... Must be old)
Is it the Kleptomaniac? Can she steal money or sell stiff she steals without me playing the lot? I thought they only added objects to inventories, which should not affect their cash.
Anyone who can add more knowledge to this mystery?
