Didn't get inheritance after elder died of old age
Herb Oldie died of old age in my game with platinum aspiration, and I got a pup-up saying how much each family member inherited from him. It said his wife, Coral, was supposed to get 20,000 and his daughter, Nicole, was supposed to get 7,600. However, the family funds stayed the same, even when I saved and reloaded, and I'm assuming nobody else got the inheritance either. There also wasn't any memory if inheriting money, but I'm guessing that only happens if a sim inherits a lot of money.
I could cheat to get the inheritance, but I want to know what caused this. I *did* technically cheat, because I had him die the day he turned 1-day-before-death, so please tell me if that's what I shouldn't have done. Thanks in advance.
