Want to move roomies out but not leave them broke. How?
« on: December 12, 2013, 02:37:22 PM »
Forgive the wall of text.  It needs some explaining.

I've been playing ITF with my superstar singer and the roommates she acquired so she could Simport.  You have to leave one adult behind or you aren't allowed to go, so she had two friends move in with her.  They were such good additions I kept them and her time travel acquired daughter.  Now the roommates have twins plus a robot nanny plus there is a cat pet and the YA adult daughter.  Way too many people to be able to learn and do all there is in ITF without going insane.  So I want to move the roomies and possibly the daughter out but I don't want them to live a less than lavish lifestyle.    (We're all millionaires)  And at some point I'd like the fairy to meet a fine young man, (playing on Epic and no aging at the moment), and have a family life but with so many in the household this isn't a likely option.

Back tracking.  It all started when I created a fairy who I wanted to become a superstar singer who also would max out several skills so she could acquire every gnome possible.  I like gnomes and have been doing a lot of studying them.  She became a superstar and a master gardener, traveled and had acquired several gnomes.  When the roomies came on the scene it was a chance to acquire even more, (sculpture gnome and inventing gnome) and with the daughter still another, (college gnome).  I also decided I wanted all of them to supermax their skills.  (Yeah, I know.  Insane.)  All was going well and then ITF arrived and I decided to give it a shot.  With one Sim, (my fairy), it was pretty easy and very intriguing and a lot of fun.  Insanity struck once more and I took them ALL, (sans cat), to the future Utopia world to level them up there.  It was getting a little tricky but not too bad until the Pere-Noel family had twins.  (They have 7 descendants my fairy has 3).  I thought it would be good to give them a helper so I made a robot nanny, not knowing I'd have to treat her like any other Sim instead of an automatic nanny like Bonehilda.  So now I had two nooboos, four adults and one robot to control.  YIKES!  If I didn't have a lot more to do and learn about ITF this could be a fun challenge for me, but it's making life way too complicated and frustrating.  I'd like to move them out into a household of their own, and eventually play them both and reunite them.  How do I do that?  How can I split them up and divide up the assets they all worked hard to earn?  The house is now very huge, (two floors underground),
so who gets it?  Their home in Utopia is huge as well.  They own properties and venues in both the future.  Both families worked hard to get so wealthy so I don't want to just kick one set out, *use edit town and divide household or evict*.  Any advice would be welcome.
What?  Grannies can't play games?

There's another option to just move out the ones you don't want.  It works like any other move where you use the phone or computer.  When the move screen comes up, you select the ones you want to move out and leave the ones you want to keep.  This is where you could also kick them out, but instead of selecting that option, you can choose a house for them to move into.  You can't send any of the family funds with them, but you can buy them a nice large house.  Say, perhaps the value of half of the household funds.  Once they are moved out, you can use a money cheat to give them increased household funds, if you want.  You would open the testing cheats panel and type "familyfunds familyname amount" without quotes, of course.  If I was doing this for a Dreamweaver family it would look like this:

familyfunds Dreamweaver 100000

That would give the family 100,000 Simoleons.

Does this help?

Does the amount matter?  In one project story I move out one of the siblings in each town.  I build them a very nice home or remodel them one.  I may go back someday and play that family, so wanted them to have a good start.  Not fair to come from a wealthy family and start with zero.


Anyhow, does it have to be the 100000, or can it be any other amount?

The cheat allows for any amount. Pam just used 100,000 as an example.

Pam! I really like that idea too.

I would feel comfortable doing this, even though I am a never-cheating type of person. Simply lower one family's funds, and increase the other. It's like doing a wire transfer! :)

Keep in mind that it's not adding that amount to their funds. It's setting their funds at that exact amount. :)

What a great solution!

Glad I could help.  :)

One other thing to consider is that if the two households have the exact same name, both will be given the amount you put in the family funds cheat.  So, you might want to change the name of the new household to make sure this doesn't happen.  Or let them be the same if it doesn't matter if they have the same amount of money.
