Why am I getting charged in build mode?

does someone own the property?

Yes, one of my sim families does. In 3 if I remember right I could exit, go to create a world, modify the lot and come back without it costing me

I've got no idea how it worked in 3, but it's never been that way in 4. If a family owns the lot you only have access to that family's funds when you go into build mode.

I barely use 4’s build mode (couldn’t get into it and it felt too restrictive compared to 3) so I didn’t know this

This is only true if it's one of your "played" families, right? That's what I've always thought but now I'm second-guessing myself. Swear I've gone into unplayed families to make changes when they have toddlers or whatnot and the infinity symbol was there instead of money amount.

Yes, if the household is unplayed then you can edit their property with unlimited funds.

I believe that also if you go into build mode of a played household, and enter the cheat bb.enablefreebuild then you also get unlimited funds.

That isn't what that cheat does

It certainly does with mine unless there's a hidden random script lurking somewhere within the depths of my Mod subfolders... AFAIK it allows for use of locked objects, editing GTW career lots and in general, build at zero cost.

This is all so confusing. :| we better go ask @rosemow
