Simoleon Inheritance Split

Hi all,

Is there any way to split Simoleons 50/50 between 2 children when setting up a will?

I can only see factors of 20%, which seems an odd design choice as most of my families have between 2 and 4 children and would want to split evenly between them. 

  • I haven't played with this feature yet but perhaps you can set it to 40% for each child and 20% to charity? They will get less money that way but at least it will be split equally between the two children.

    Yeah it doesn't look like a 50/50 split is an option, unfortunately. Maybe that was on purpose or an oversight?

      I'm beginning to suspect this:

      The money (and dependents) inheritance comes into play when all the teen or older sims in the household die. What should also be mentioned is that it actually seems like these come into play when the last teen or older sim dies and becomes a ghost (yeah, becoming a playable ghost still triggers the inheritance).

      So in short, it would ensure that:

      • 40% goes to household 1
      • 40% goes to household 2
      • 20% stays with the ghost household so they can still keep paying bills or move out.
