Hi Team, I just downloaded Sims 4 City Living, and a couple of others for the bundle pack. Unfortunately now, when I make new characters, I'm given no starting funds. Also, the money cheats are invalid at this point as well. So, I can't play the game. Help!
@playedbysam Unfortunately, I could not reproduce the issue in my game - aside from one aspect. I made a new game and two different new Sims and in both cases they showed with the $20,000 initial funds. I found that the 'Motherlode' and 'rosebud', and 'kaching' money cheats worked as expected, however the 'Money' cheat did not work:
• Money cheat set exact funds:
Money 100 sets at 100 Simoleons
Money 000 sets to Zero

You may want to try a game repair in case your expansions did not not download properly/completely. Please click the spoiler here for directions on how to do this:
Just to eliminate this possibility, do you have Mods &/or CC? If so please try removing them and the following cache file as directed in the spoiler tag below:
Are you noticing that all of your new Sims have no funds or just random ones? I did find this Bug Report, so perhaps it is somewhat random? Please read through the bug report and see if it sounds like your issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Sims-downloaded-from-my-gallery-catalog-do-not-have-enough/td-p/8592831 If it matches your issue please add a 'me too' to the bug report and subscribe to updates so you will get notified to be able to track if there are workarounds or a fix in a patch.

Heya Sheri,
I think I had to repair my game. I right clicked on my game in the origin launch screen and things sorted out.
I had used the “motherlode” cheat which still didn’t work unless I had purchased a property.
nevertheless, all sorted now! Can’t wait to play this afternoon!
@playedbysam Awesome!!! 🎉 I'm so happy to hear that!! Thank you for letting us know and have fun!! ☕
I've been having the same problem. I added two sims from my gallery to a new household and since I can't buy a house I can't play and money cheats won't work! Can you help me?
@Reewriter743 If those households don't have any money and cheats don't work for you, you can merge them into another household with lots of funds, then split them back into their own household and assign them money in the split. If you don't know how to do either one or both of these processes, directions are below:
