no 20K handouts

[Ness]

just a quick question - I can't find the answer in the RTFM...

how does this caclulate how much money a sim will have after they have graduated?  I'm sure I've seen the answer, but can't find it anywhere now.

Uses the same dorm algorithm: Money share is equal to the cash reserves of the house divided by number of people in the house, multiplied by number of people leaving. This amount is deducted from the household accounts and used to seed the new offshoot family's networth.

Hey JM, I used this no20khandout hack in my last n'hood, it was great, some of them went home to mum and dad, some started out in squats. Just like RL.  People are often surprised that I add hacks that make it harder to play.

Well, the objective is "No 20K" isn't really to make the game easier or harder, but simply more realistic. If the realism causes the game to become harder, well, that's life. And in this case, it cuts both ways.
