Poor gamepack

Sometimes, when you're short on money, you can write a best seller and be done with it. Or sell the window.
It's actually very hard to be poor in the sims without cheating.
I'd like a pack where you can lose your job anytime, try to do three jobs at once to meet the ends, work in a very weird job at odd hours, get ill, have your house flooded, you know, all these bad lucks that are life changing and give you a new direction. It would give a bit of challenge in the game where not everything would be perfect.
It would be a hardcore game. You could still turn it off to play casual.

What would be even more awesome is if they had Sims visiting and some of those Sims were Klepto's and they just swiped something while your Sim is in another room. This would tank their reputation and maybe they couldn't swipe for a little while until they got the "heat" off them. But at least it would allow some challenges to the game where we'd want to keep that alarm system in our house.
Ohh and it would be neat if they could make it so that the alarm system could be "cheap" and faulty. And doesn't always work.. but you can upgrade it if you have handiness, or have it installed with a Handyman service. It gets more expensive to get the top-notch system for your house though.
I suppose there is always a dog that you could train to keep the burglars out, and that could be cheaper, but your dog would have to have a high skill. And more security the more difficult it could be for said npc's to snatch things. And this could be added to your 'bills' that you have to pay to make it even more things to use Simoleans for.
But that's just my little ideas about it. They could do something more to add other consequences to the game, but some new stuff needs to be added, because it's too easy.
It'd be nice to be able to 'rescue' furniture, stuff that you can sell as is, or 'fix up' and sell for a higher price.
Rather than a poor pack, I'd rather a tiny house pack. On that is about down scaling, saving money, DIY, self employment, etc.
I wish there was a setting to make it harder to get jobs. It'd be great if it came with an education pack. It'd be great if certain jobs were only available for sims who have completed the right path at uni.
Pretty sure we already have that.
no we don't.. only NPC (ie "stans") can go through the trash..
you can rummage through trash, I've seen it on rags to riches LPs
"wahoo" - aquaman
and rummaging in the trash isn't dumpster diving there's a difference.

Bill_Amount_Percent
"Increases or decreases the weekly bill amount that must be paid by the active family when living in a house. 0 = No changes. -100 would be negative 100% of the normal bills…so that would make the bills each week be $0 unless child support is enabled. 100 would be positive 100% of the normal bills, so double the normal bill amount. This can go all the way up to 1000% if you're crazy or don't like electricity or something."
