Ridiculous small Inheritance

[XPTL297]

There are several mods available to change the inheritance process. I myself use Eddie's mod to make inheritance available only for direct relatives (spouse and children). The problem is that with the time you start to have far too much money over head and an extra inheritance can raise it on about 20000 to 50000 K everytime an elder dies. I don't like to nuke the interaction completely because it adds invisible tokens that can remain around.
To simplify the whole thing, I modded the BCON so that values for Inherited amount can be changed at taste. If you don't want to have much money, my mod gives only 1% of the original amount, so it is ridiculous small.  If you wish to have plenty of free money, just change it for how much you want to have in SimPe. Because of my using Eddie's mod, I turned the amount for Friends or Lovers inheritance to 0x0000 once I don't need it at all. Be logical and think about that if you allow Friends or lovers to inherit and keep it as Zero, you just overload your processor with unuseful calculations.  

This mod does not conflict with any similar mod that is BHAV based.

Included Eddie's mod "CT-I Died Only Family Inherits - work for all Eps mentioned including just BaseGame/Pets/AL (I use it)

Can you link to Eddie's hack please?

Well, I agree with you - on what??? Yep, Search engines are a bit of a crap, mainly for folk like me (or us!).
Eddie's mod is named "CT-I died-OnlyFamilyInherits" and it will all depend on what kind of game you are playing. I mean I have been posting in different levels and lately I limitated myself to a special TS2 installation that includes only Base Game/Pets/AL/M&G.
There must be several instances of this mod in different posts. Basically the mod is the same for practically all EPs once it is Base Game in itself.
I ask you please to make a search self because it is really a lot of crap posted in my forum.
Thanks.

Interesting mod. This one seemed more logical than other similar inheritance mods with only the family getting any money out of a Sim's death.

I'm curious. Do you remember where you last got Eddie's mod? And yeah, the search engines are awful at finding particular things. Either he removed the mod from some site or the search engines aren't powerful enough to pinpoint certain things to make the search easier.

It is summer here now and Eddie become unavailable every summer ( He has a hut without electricity or phone connections and he hates handy phones)
If there's any need I can post the mod I have been using by now.
At the moment I'm investigating TS3 and adapting mods for my private use.

I love this idea! Sims get rich too freaking fast in an un-modded game...

...but what (if anything) does this mod do about Vacation Homes & owned Community Lots, for those of us with BV and OFB?

I love the idea of "ridiculously small" money pay-outs, but I don't want to "lose" any Vacation Homes & such. Those should stay in the family- if there is one!

Back-up your game and try the mod. If it is not what you want, you place back your hood and delete the mod. When Sims die, there is some money inheritance and I suppose this is all the mod affect. I never saw anything in the bhav talking about vacation houses or anything else. This bhav was not changed since Base Game.

Er, I always back up my game.

I was simply asking for a clarification of how (if) this mod effected the non-monetary assets of a given Sim's estate, as these were features added to the game in later EPs. Judging from your answer, I gather than nobody has ever used this mod in an OFB of BV game- or at least if they did they have never said how (if) business deeds & vacation homes were effected.

If there is no coding in this mod regarding said assets then cool; that's all I needed to know. 

(Sorry: I didn't see your post where you explained that you had no interesting in TS2 anymore now that TS3 is out. If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered you with a "TS2" question.)

[XPTL297]

I didn't say that I have no more interest in TS2, I just said that I'm at the moment analysing TS3. I just consider that everything that I had to modify in TS2 I've done it already. I play TS2 and the game is exactly the way I wanted it to be. Now when playing I only enjoy it the way I've made it to my taste.
All the posted mods are free open for everyone to adapt for own taste. If you don't know how to do it self, just point the threads for another modder willing to make it for you.

Have fun!
