Hero

Sims made through CAS Stories with Starting Funds 'High' should now get 30k Simoelons instead of the standard 20k for their household fund.

Fixed in Patch 1.95.207/1.69

If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.

@Ambi21996 Did you just get one Sim in the household ?

 

I tested this twice and once I got 30000 and once 20000. The only difference was that I made the second one Sim as second Sim and not first and then deleted the other Sim.

@Ambi21996 I created a Sim normally (without story mode), then added one via story mode that had high starting funds and then deleted the first one I created.

@crinrict with that annoying of a work around might as well just cheat the funds to what it's supposed to be. Would much rather it just worked in the first place :-/

Agreed, For Cheating being "Somewhat Expected Behavior" in the Sims (referenced the official material on this - but I don't have a link to the exact page) it almost seems better just to not mess around with story mode creation at all. I didn't like it to begin with; the whole concept of The Sims is you write your own story and are not locked into preset words/plots. I mean it's visual so I get it's a bit different, but even the tutorial calls it "A Story"....

Sims 4: Create a story bug?

[ Edited ]
★★ Novice

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone else had this issue. When I start a new game and do the Create A Story there is a money bug. When my sims story is loaded for example:
Doctor career 
Wellness skill
Handiness skill
High money

I decide to take the sim, because it says high money. ( I try to play the game without money cheats sometimes) I dress them up and hit the play button. I then see they only have 20,000$. This has happened to me the last two times I've played. I just decided no use to make a new sim and just move them in an empty lot and build a house and end up using the money cheat, haha. 

Has this happened to anyone else? I don't have CC on and this happened before the recent update. Could this just be my game? I tried searching for other people if they had these issues and i have only seen post about Create A Story from July 2019. I dont usually post, but im just curious if anyone else has this issue Standard smile 

Thank you and have a great day!
