Nearly 5 Million Simolineons Disappeared

[Bitsy]

I've been playing a legacy household with just the base game and university for about a year. I got all the expansion packs and stuff packs and installed them (after backing up and what not) a month ago. (So that would be everything but Celebration at the time.) After some playtesting and it looking like nothing had broken I just started intensively playing my legacy family.

About two weeks later I realized that my family net worth was all wrong. I originally had a networth of 9,152,374 at the point where I backed up, but now I had only 4,270,630 and I hadn't spent any money beyond purchasing new clothing and groceries (and bills, maid, gardener, etc). And, no I didn't just read the number wrong, I have a screenshot here of when I was at the 7mil mark in the coffers alone.

So, at this point I'm not going to go to the back up to fix things, I've just counted the missing money in my score and moved on (old legacy rules). The thing is I'm now at 5mil again and its not going to be long before I hit that 9mil mark. Is there a limit to how much money I can have in the networth or in the family funds? If so what is it and if I hit it again will it just take away a bunch of money again or am I doing something dangerous and potentially game breaking by having all this money? Any ideas on why the money disappeared if it's not that?

ETA: Thought to add that during all this I was playing hack free.

Are you sure it isn't just a display error?  I don't think the counter can display more than 7 digits.

It's probably a display issue. I just added approximately 10 mil to my current family from the neighborhood screen. It displays as 10+ mil from the neighborhood, but about 9.5 mil while playing the lot.

Now to take 10 mil away from my poor simmies...

Is there any way I can view what my family's true networth is then?

[Zazazu]

Clicking on the lot will give you gross worth (counting house value). So write that down, then enter the lot and go into build mode. Hit the blue circle (can't remember the icon) in the upper left corner. That gives you the current house value. Subtract that from the number you had before.

I'm sorry I'm afraid I'm not being clear, blame it on the lack of caffeine.

The networth that you see from the neighborhood is what is reading the four million number when before it was reading nine million. I don't bother paying attention to my family funds past first generation usually because it doesn't count as far as legacy points are concerned.

The thing is I wasn't paying attention to even the networth of my family and didn't notice the loss until two weeks after I started playing with all the eps and sps installed when I went to update my score. I figured it was some sort of quirk with having a really old lot played on a really old ep for so long that didn't gel with the new coding. But, I'm not awesome and have no clue if I'm even in the right ball park with that guess.

Bitsy! -glee-

Okay, entirely off-topic but I'm anxious to see your final entry for the LMS contest..

As for this issue.. have you tried family funding them back up, then doing the good ol' Save/Shutdown/Bootup hokey pokey?
