Even then it could be a problem, because modders often create an item from a decorative item (to stop it doing stuff) but it might not be meant as a statue.  For example, what about my prisoner token, which is useful with TJ's Visitor Controller?  Stuff like that might be lost at moveout too.  It's so simple to just make a specific item with its own GUID that it seems a shame to lose so much flexibility just for a detail.

I suppose. I'll work something up.

Um, can someone clear this concept for me? Is the money for the sim moving out pulled from net worth of the household or free cash?

[jsalemi]

I believe it's net available simoleons of the household, divided by the number of sims in the house.

I think the new version is not going to give them anything unless they buy some moving out money tokens with the family funds first.  It will be nice not having them start with any money because it will be all the more reason to rent an apartment.

[J. M. Pescado]

The new version in the works will give either the standard amount if no token is present, or the amount stated on the token. Which can be nothing.

[Inge]

But the token will only need to be held by one of the movers-out?  They don't have to have a zero-rated token each do they?  Oh - maybe I have this wrong, it's not a buyable object but a token that the sim is given automatically during the moving out process?

[GayJohnScarritt]

   Personally, i'd rather have a buyable token than yet another pop-up menu during the move-out process.  The menu to calculate the amount is already on the Money Order, except Pescado will have to add "My Gold? You'll have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands!" option.

I have to say; I like this idea.

If the lies and propaganda apartments comes out will the standard amount become zero for that version? Can it?

And so, how is this going?  Need testers?

Personally, I think it should be zero regardless, but that's just how I play.

[Inge]

I have to say that my personal preference would be for the default to be zero.  If you do forget to get them a token, there is always the built-in cheat (which can be repaid after sending a money order)

From a couple of EPs back, sims had the option of moving in with another family, so it has been some time since a sim was stuck in the bin if he didn't have money.

[Inge]

Has there been any further development on this?

[Ryslin]

I too would love to hear progress. Not that my wanting to means diddly..
