Updates
6/29/2023(V1.3)
- Fixed a Bug which prevented sims from receiving their Welfare Benefits if they had ever received Child Support in the past. Even if they had opted out of Child Support. Now you should be able to receive Welfare Benefits regardless if you had received Child Support in the past.
6/27/2023(V1.2)
- Fixed a Bug which was causing welfare payments to triple, double, etc. To receive the correct welfare payouts, please install the new version of the mod and once you load into the game opt out of your welfare benefits and reapply to welfare. The payouts should now be correct after performing these steps.
