Question....what are ways to transfer or get NPC's money, I know one way, but are there better ways?

I like to give my sims especially ones that have a bigger growing family a certain amount of money so that they can move into an appropriate house. I will move them in manually in many cases which is not a problem. My problem is that the only 100percent sure way to get NPC's money is to take control of there household or in other words them and use the Money X cheat, where X is the amount of money they will have you just type in any number. Well that Is a slow process if you want to do it for more than say 1 or 2 families. There is an option to transfer money without loading screens. And Im talking about under manage households, you can transfer sims from one family to another, you pick which ones and click on the arrow and they are moved instantly into there household no loading screens or anything. Well I can't get the transfer money at the very bottom of the screen to work. I've gotten it to work like 2 times and I don't remember the steps I took to do it. So simply put my question is do you guys know any fast and efficient ways to give other sim households money(not out of your account). ??? I could always use the Money X cheat but you have to go to there property with them on it and controlling them then put in the cheat and give them the money and also wait through loading screens and so on. Oh and by the way I dont have access to mods or any PC only options im on console.

    @AlienTusks if I remember right there should be an option to gift money under the "friendly" category. You won't be able to gift much, think limit is 1,000 but not sure. I've used it to gift my gardener a few times. Of course you need to at least meet the sim you want to do this with ?.

    Wasn't there a "familyfunds" cheat? Or is that Sims 3. I forget.

    There's always "motherlode", that's a quick 50,000 bucks. I can't remember if that can be used from the neighbourhood screen. The screen where you select which family you want to play with.

    For housing you can use the "freerealestate" cheat. It ignores the cost of a furnished or unfurnished house, so your newly-minted family of Sims can move into a nice place with 20k or more in the bank. If your objective is funds for moving into a nice house, then this is a method of removing the housing cost from the equation.

    @Starfree Im aware of that and Im talking about getting the npc 500,00 dollars for a fancy family mansion style home off the gallery. the cheat IM talking about is all you have to type in is "Money then the amount and that becomes there amount of money, for example Money 500000, that would be 500 thousand dollars in one cheat, no need to do mother lode or whatever those other money cheats are, you have tort turn cheats on first. But thanks anyway.

    @StuffyMarx Thanks for the input, and motherlode and is not as good as Money X all you do is type Money then put any amount in and that becomes what they have, it could be 5 million dollars or whatever simoleons or whatnot..but you did give me an idea, I can try putting in the cheat at other screens and try to avoid the loading one. Ill give that a try. good day

    Are you able to use mods? If you are, then there is a fantastic mod from SimRealist. Actually, it may require two of them: SNB and SNB-Bills. These two enable your Sims to have their own bank accounts. I was able to have my Rock Star pay his Agent via this system. I think your Sim just has to know them. Then you can 'send' money to whomever you need to, and punch in an amount, hit send and off it goes.
