I just loaded a household in my rotation and to my surprise they have 212 502 simoleons. My sims generally have something like 10k-50k, so I'm pretty sure I would remember if someone had over 100k. I've been trying to think where the money could have come from and my best bet is the lot somehow glitched so that they got the lot's worth, 136k added to their funds...? Another possibility has to do with the mother who was on the top of the professional athlete career, but recently quit. Could she have gotten a GF work task which gave that much money? Her husband is a freelance programmer and I know the money didn't come from there. Amuse me with theories.
Do I let them keep the money or cheat it away since it doesn't seem legit?

All the sims err'day
@crocobaura That would have been extremely skillfull as I don't have Batuu
I still haven't decided about the money. I've been trying hard to remember if it could have come from a work pop up, but my memory fails me. I haven't heard about glitches giving money though, so I'm thinking maybe it is legit after all?

I have a freelance programmer that writes viruses and stuff and earns some money, maybe your sim did too, but on a larger scale.

are you sure you didn't merge households or move household with freerealestate cheat or something momentarily and the household kept all the money? cause that does sound like one possible money maker
i recall there being some phone call thing about keeping shady money for someone that comes with fame i think but i cant remember how much money that was
they could have also sold few ridiculously expensive items perhaps like collectibles or paintings or something

@RedDestiny92 That's interesting, if the amount can be different then lottery is my main suspect.
@GalacticGal I'm already planning ways to spend it
@Chazzzy I play almost vanilla and the family is happy together, but I appreciate the suggestion as I love some good drama.
@Simmingal The households has been living in the same house since 2019 IRL. I have moved two of their children away, one quite recently. I created a new household and gave some money to get started. Could the game have glitched at that point? I have taken the phonecall on some sims and it's something like 2k. They don't paint or have any expensive collectibles.
I wonder if this will remain a mystery. I could play it that the mother got the money as a reward for being Hall of Famer. Players get incredible rewards, so at least it makes sense.

I loaded my backup save that I did before neighbourhood stories. In that save the household has 169 910 simeoleans (compared to 212 502). I have not been playing them in between! It seems they keep gradually gaining money while not played. I can't explain where it comes from. Since the money doesn't seem to be legit I will be removing it. I don't mind cheating on my less played played sims, but this is one of my main families.

Also, if you use mods, specifically MCCC, and have the option turned on for either inheritance or child support, those two things will transfer money to households even when they are not active.

Check your bills first, before you cheat the money away. Sometimes when I return to my sims after not playing them for a while they have huge bills and the money to pay them, like they have been saving the money and not paying their bills.
@crocobaura Yes they had big bills indeed, it was 8k and I'll use the suspicious money to cover that

Then you can be relieved of that terrible burden of a super rich family lol.
Also, sims 4 it seems has no real use for simmer “friends” unlike sims 3 so... They need to give it some purpose.
8k is like what my sims pay regularly for a couple of bills. When they got the huge bills it was around 50-80k.
The father of the family has an alien baby I didn't know about (I have not played the kidnapping or the pregnancy/birth). The baby and her mother are in the hidden households, so I can't access them. Neighbourhood stories? This household had the stories off from the start, but I don't think it counts males properly off limits.
