    Updated CAS and household funds

    Not sure I saw anyone mention this.
    After adding the new Story Mode in CAS I encountered the following issues:
    1) When adding a Sim with a story into an existing household it overrides the existing household funds, which does make sense in a way, because that's what the quiz is for.
    2) When adding a new Sim into an existing household with good old CAS (genetic option) without the quiz involved for any of them - the funds reset as well - which is definitely NOT ok.
    3) When deleting a Sim from a household (added by merging households) the funds reset - which makes no sense at all.


    (Sorry, posted in a wrong place. Please, move it to the Help Center section.)

      Does anyone else have or is bothered by this?
      Do you think it's an oversight?
      Not sure if I should post it in AQH.

      I add a grandma into a rich family and suddenly it becomes poor - shouldn't be like that, right? Grandma shouldn't eat all the money.

      I haven't experimented with this yet, but I don't think Grandma should eat all the money, either. It does appear wrong to me if I am understanding correctly.

      This is off topic here, but I read the other day (and didn't respond there, lol): I love the color palettes you use for your sims! They look really good :)

      This is not how I planned to make my first post on the forums, but I had this happen when adding pets (It's easier than the adoption action) to a family last night. I used the money cheat to fix it, but it was very disturbing to see the house's funds drop from 770K to 34K after adding a dog and a cat... I know purebreds are expensive, but...

      Bolding by me, made me actually laugh out loud :'D

      This seems like a bug, not an intentional thing and should totally be reported on AHQ https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs !

      When I start story mode in CAS, I don't get the silhouette of a person, I just get a random sim as if you just clicked create mode. Also the only question I get is what age they are. Is there a way I can fix this without erasing my current households and plots?

      @Blue_Rose596 I had issues also on one of my saves, I repaired the game on Origin and after that it's been working. Hope this helps.

      i also don't see the story builder in CAS - just the plain old create a sim.... I also don't see an answer here. Help?

      Just found it - I thought it was automatic - it's a button under the menu where you can add a Sim - just in case anyone else missed it.

      Right... pull mods, test in clean game, take screen shots. Sigh. I've had a few other programs where I have to both talk on a techie level and like I'm talking to newbies in order to get through to tech support. It's left a mark.

      @DaWaterRat @Morkovka

      I just tested on my game this issue for I have no mods or CC and it's still there.
      I found a subject already on AHQ, so go click Me Too if you're experiencing this issue.

      @adduapina - thanks. I could have sworn I looked the other day, but I obviously missed it.
