A Note from Our Lead Developer

Hi! This is roBurky, the Developer for SNB and Private Practice.

What I've been working on is the foundation for a new system for SNB transaction settings. When done, this will let you choose some settings for each sim so that any time they personally buy or sell something, that money can come from or go into their personal bank account instead of the household funds. 

This will, I think, be the feature that lets SNB begin to show its potential. When their bank accounts can be used automatically for all of their common expenditures, you can really start to think of sims as having their own money, separate from their household.

It's taking a little longer to make this next playable update because we have big plans for the future of the mod, and I've been writing this system with those future systems in mind. Support for specific settings for different transaction types, support for multiple bank accounts, and support for household transactions are all things that will hopefully come in the future and are being planned for in the way that we structure this system. It is a flexible, expandable system that will help the mod grow.

What's done so far for this update:

- A big overhaul of the system for saving a personal transaction setting

- The menu for changing a personal transaction setting

- The notification for a personal transaction, showing the changes to household funds and bank accounts

What there is still to do for this update:

- Finishing the menu for the new personal transaction settings category

- The menu for the new general personal transaction setting

- The menu for enabling a new specific personal transaction setting

- An update of the summary notification when exiting the SNB menu

- Functionality for general personal transactions to use the new general personal transaction setting

- Functionality for enabled specific personal transaction settings (like for career income) to override the general transaction setting
