Separate Simoleon Account

Should each household member have a separate Simoleon Account by choice of player to open an account I mean will still have our household account but have a separate account for like savings or spending. Like a teen has a job and instead of the money going into the household account it goes to them and they can save for college or YA life like a house or apartment when moving out or if they move out.
Or Sims can save up for moving or a vacation.
Or would that be too much?

    Yes, please. I used a mod for it a while back but I forgot it some time ago.

    I'd love that! I also use SNBanking, but it glitches for sims in active careers. My detective sim living with his aunt and uncle always gets their daily wage from their rabbit hole jobs added to his private account.

    One of the Gurus (as always I don't remember who exactly, sorry, not a people person :( ) once mentioned that they discussed such a feature at some point, but then decided it wouldn't be fun. I don't see how using pencil and scratch paper is more fun than having the game automate that for you :p

    Yes, I downloaded a mod to do this once but it was not very user-friendly. It felt clunky.

    I'm not sure how the team could smoothly add a feature like this.

    What if you want each adult Sim to auto pay a certain amount of Simoleans towards the rent each week. How would the game implement that?

    What if you want parents to auto pay one child-age Sim an allowance each week, but not the other child-age Sim? How would the game implement that?

    I think there are too many variables for something like this to actually be added, unfortunately. The only option is probably to take a one size fits all approach, and that wouldn't appeal to me personally.

    Sometimes I use the safe to put away inheritance money for the kids but it was definitely easier when I had the mod.

    There is a safe? How did I miss this or is it CC/Mod? I keep trying to give money away and recycling it in the recycling machine bc I have money tree's that get harvested every time someone leaves the lot so My Sims are maxed out to 999,999.99 and there is 99+ in the Family inventory. That is without cheating money mind you. All You have to do is buy 1 money tree, grow it, put it in your household inventory and then plant the left overs. I actually regret it bc it is cluttering my game up so bad. Saying that I realize now I should just delete them or move them to inventory. It would be nice to spread some of that money out to everyone in the household.

    @spend4zen There’s a large walk-in safe included in the Get Famous pack.

    Having optional separate accounts for individual sims could be useful for storytelling where the sims in the household are not family. I like that idea.

    Set up where each pay rent like when a sim come back from work also the auto pay you can transfer money and how much like we do when someone moves out.

    No. I like it how it is right now.
    I am NOT part of anything in EA and I'm just a player. I try my best to answer questions in the Sims forums, and showing info about the Sims, even posting answers and thoughts of feedback! I have been playing the Sims 4 for 2 years.

    Wouldn't be fun! what? I mean it would make sense
    I also like I said in the previous text would like it by choice.

    Yes I really want this too. The ability to take out loans. And an allowance for kids.

    sounds good and perhaps if you own laundry day money might "disappear" after changing clothes and then could be found if you search the baskets, like 30/100 chance

    That's a good gameplay.
