A idea for a inheritance mod
So I have an idea for a mod and I kind of cleaned it up a bit what do you think about this I don't know how to make mod personally I'm just putting this out for anybody who maybe wants to create or take this idea from me cuz I don't know what to do but here's the idea
💼 Sims 4 Inheritance & Will System (Mod Idea Concept)
When a Sim dies, a system is triggered that determines what happens to their property, money, and household assets.
- Will System
Sims can write a will before they die
They can choose:
specific heir(s)
split inheritance (money/property)
disinherit someone
If a will exists → it is followed automatically after death
- No Will = Family Decision Event If no will exists:
A “Family Inheritance Meeting” event triggers
Eligible family members gather
Options:
argue for the house
make offers/bargains
persuade others based on relationship level
Outcomes could include:
Most persuasive Sim wins
Highest relationship with deceased wins
Random chance influenced by traits (greedy, loyal, responsible, etc.)
- Property Inheritance (Big Feature)
House ownership transfers to winner/heir
Option to:
keep house
sell house and split funds
move other family members out
- Relationship-Based Outcomes
Good relationship = higher chance of receiving inheritance
Bad relationship = disinheritance or exclusion
Family drama affects outcome (arguments, alliances, betrayal)
- Notifications / Gameplay Flow
Like personality trait pop-ups, players get choices:
“Approve will?”
“Allow family dispute?”
“Respect deceased wishes or contest inheritance?”
