Sul sul, everybody. My daughter and I have been playing TS4 for about a year and a half now. We've almost always focused on one household, usually only one Sim. But our current favorite save has ...

The family and their cash account will normally be as you left them. If staying away for a while, their relations might be randomized and they might lose friendship even with relatives not living in the household. Also, there might be non-logical changes to cash, I never managed to figure out what causes it. I've played on rotation forever, and I normally write down their cash value when leaving a household, then I can easily adjust the cas when I return. Most times it will not be needed, I suspect retirement pay for certain careers and butler service might cause it. Maybe royalty income as well.
You don't think it's related to shopping or selling things while on a lot with the active sim? That's what I would suspect. For example, if you take the active sim to the park and the other sim that you rotated away from is there buying a burger at a food stall, maybe the cost of the burger is deducted from their household income.
Could be, but in worst cases the diff is in the tens of thousands... I think too much for spending on food stalls. Not sure how much a NPC sim can make from being the random seller at markets though, but could be that, too. I suspect it is more everyday stuff like getting certain income daily whether being played or not. In my book a novelist should receive royalties only on days being actively played, like most careers. My butlers charged on days when household not being played, resulting in cash account being zero when I returned, because the butler had charged a huge amount. I've learned to live with this though, taking notes and money cheats works for me :) (and I don't care a lot if cash is §15 wrong.
