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...

I have not played this lot since I started this thread, and today their cash balance is up to nearly §150.000. That's well done considering none of them having a job (except one o them, she is a Critic level 1). I think I know what's going on.
These elders must be receiving their pension check even on days when the household is not actively played. I take 56 simdays to play through one rotation, and because I have more than 56 houses to play, I play each household on every other rotation. This means I stop by this house, play them for a day or two, then play other houses for about 56*2 simdays. I don't find any way to see who receives a pension check or how big it is, but say 3 elders receive half their wage 5 days a week for 2 sim years, that should easily build more than §1000 per simday.
I had this same problem with the butlers. They charged for days the lot had not been actively played, meaning when I returned to the house, they presented a sky rocking bill + the cash was often 0 because they had charged for as long as thee were cash. I had to fire all butlers, which is rather stupid as they were the only reason I bought that pack.
So - are both butlers charging and pension checks being payed out while a household is not actively played?
I can't see any other reason. There's no specific traits (only normal traits + Waterproof and Observant).
