Default WHO thinks that there shouyld be a bank in teh game?

i think a teen/young adul sim should be able too have a credit/debit card.and be able too take loans or deposit(they get rearded for doing this ) .

and if they dont pay back the loan evrything that they bought with the loan money gets deleted .or they can pay back by selling their soul too the grim reaper and getting the money too pay back

however by selling their soul they will automatic age too old person.

A Bank would be a good building to see in the town centre! Deffently! I also think they should introduce the Education career and have the school as the base building, and maybe leading onto the town hall for higher up education jobs!

A Bank would be ok for a loan and jobs but, I don't like the idea of debit/credit cards. I don't like too much realism in the game.

I'd like the idea of a bank more for saving the money. I'm (just like in real life) very tempted to spend all the money I have at easy disposal.

I do like the idea of a bank too and you could have a banker career - accountant etc. You totally know perfectionists would want in on that! Not sure about credit/debit cards either but definitely bank accounts - it would make more sense when households are split, I still haven't worked out exactly what the pattern is for that but maybe a bank would make that more sensible?

They should definitely have the Education career too.

I want that too, sounds good since im one of those perfectionists
Maybe if teens had their own bank accounts or savings, so they could save up from their teen jobs to move out on their own. Instead of being given handouts. I dont like handouts

GREAT idea!!!! It would give another one or two career paths - financial, splitting into Stockbroker or Financial Advisor or something once they get to level 6 of the career - plus options for sims to save, get loans instead of doing that cheat for more money. And the repo man would come if you didn't amke your repayment, like if you don;t pay your bills! I love this idea.

a bnak would be good as everyone has already said, sims would be able to save up esp younger ones so they have their own money for when they leave home aswell as when two sims want children they can put so much money aside to save up before the kids come along so they can then buy the baby basic's ie cot, toys etc..
be good if they could bring back when a sim dies their money gets divided to other sims who have a high relationship with like they did in sims 2

I like that. Could be fun.
Maybe with a careers EP if they do one, so sim bankers could take a more active role. I'd love to make a loan shark sim:P

I wouldnt really like this idea,
i mean theres enough people worrying about this in the real world we dont need it on a game tbh.
I love the selling sould to grim reaper idea though , but i wouldnt want my sim age to elder instantly.

Agree with this - though perhaps just for jobs.

It's enough stress in real life... don't need it in my game too.

I think its a really good idea. It would work well with the education career and they could incorporate a banking career as well.

I wish that each sim had their own money!, instead of it being blended with everyone elses hard earned cash!

I think a bank would be an excellent idea.

I have a family of 8 at the moment and both teenagers work part time and my young adult is working at the hospital. The parents arent working because they have 3 babies to look after and a toddler, so really the kids working should be able to keep their own money for their own future - or buy stuff for themselves by saving up.

A bank would also be really good for a criminal career too. Not only for stashing your stolen cash, but for robbing!

This is a brilliant idea!
I think they should have mortgages too!
I'm not too sure that will be a popular one haha...but I think it would be fun.

I really like the idea of teens being able to save up their money with their part time jobs instead of it just being dumped into the family fund. It would be especially useful if an university EP makes a return to pay tuition and that.
