    Married in a week to inherit

    edited August 2022 in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    I just got an interesting new situation in my game. One of my Sims has to get married within a week in order to inherit a bunch of money. It gives her a +1 Tense moodlet. I’ve never seen this in the game before. I wonder if it’s new or whether I just wasn’t lucky enough to get it before. Should be fun! 😁

      Others have reported getting this. One even counter offered and got the $ for free. Seems to be a throwback to some of the goofy calls in TS1.

      yup! I did it, it was only $5k i was SO dissapointed that I killed the spouse off! hah

      Edit to add: I did it a 2nd time in the same sims lifetime (phonecall popped up again) - it was $5k again, leads me to assume it's only ever $5k

      I love the prank calls. :My sim inherited something like 2000 simoleons from the grandfather of a friend of a cousin with no conditions imposed. And when the lady, I forgot her name, calls to ask for 1 simoleon donation to increase happiness, donating actually made my sim happy. :smiley:

      It's a real offer. It doesn't work if your sim is already married, though. I used MC Command Center to do a quickie divorce and then a marriage.

      Eco Lifestyle seems to be the EP which is doing all these throwbacks to the original Sims game and I love it. The quirky phone calls. The objects you find in the dumpster. A really nice touch. :)

      I got that as soon as I installed eco and went to the bar in the new city, I have four days left to get married. Haven’t even scratched the surface yet with this pack, but I love the new world, and the active neighborhood community feel, feels like my sim is living in this busy world

      This entirely! I'm loving it, it feels like Sims 2-3 mood and vibe, regardless of the eco-ness. I love sims popping in to use something then being like 'oh can i hang out?'

      I've never experienced with Sims 1 & 2.
      However I had the Sims 3 complete collection.
      There was never an eco in Sims 3.

      How long does it take to actually receive the money?

      I actually got §16,042 (I think it was 42, something random) thinking I’d get §5,000. Willing to bet it can go even higher if you’re luckier. And @Rouensims you get it instantly after the ceremony/getmarriedto action is finished.

      You can also breakup a marriage with testingcheats by shift clicking on your sim and clicking devolve marriage.

      They must’ve altered this in an update or something because I remember when everyone got max §5,000. How does the game determine now how much to give you? Is it random?

      I got it a few days ago! My sim received around 20k in funds! Soon after my sim's partner later died in an oh so unfortunate and tragic "accident".

      I've had this offer and declined it, but what happens if you accept and you don't get married in a week? Anything good?

      Ive had two sims successfully receive this inheritance. One received around $16,000 and then another only received a little over $5000. I would be interested to know how they decide how much to give someone.

      If I remember correctly nothing happens. The stressed moodlet just disappears.

      Aww now I'm a bit disappointed that my sim got only 10k. She is doing rags to riches and could have definitely used more :smiley: Well, 10k is good too for such a sweet husband.

      I really love these new EL phone calls!
