Bills...is there a way to pay them automatically?

Not really. But if you leave them alone long enough, a red notification will pop up, telling you to hurry up and pay them.

There's a button in the note you can click, and your bills get paid. Therefore, no repo Sim.

If you get the No Bills Ever LTW, you don't have to pay them at all.

It's strange because the most of the time that note doesn't show up, I sometimes see the red alert that says "ok the man is coming" and then it's too late. :?

That's the first LTW I get because I am always forgetting to pay the bills

I don't like using that LTW. Money is too easy for my Sims to get already :P I've even increased the size of bills before with Twallan's mods.

You should get a notification in the top right corner on day three of the bills, which will have a button to pay them. I usually wait for that because it takes the money from your funds directly, the Sim doesn't have to do anything.

It's too bad they couldn't set up automatic payments online... (HINT HINT GURUs!)

I've relaxed about picking up the mail. If I fail to pay the bills, there is a popup in the game warning that the time to pay them is running out. You can click the popup and it will pay the bills for you. I've yet to see the Repo man in my game. This is a nice feature and I'm very surprised to read the many posts like this one. Scratching my head over this. It's so simple.

Sims is a funny thing. Not everyone's game works the same way, but I'm sure you're aware of that. :wink:



I don't always get the notification. It usually works, Then suddenly I have a repo-person-notice, & I'm checking to see if, & how, I could've missed it..... :| But no notice. :hunf:

Interesting though. I remember being able to auto-pay bills by clicking on the mailbox & choosing that option. That was in the 1st year that I played the game, when all I had installed was the base game & Ambitions. I've wondered if that got taken away with a patch. :? I miss having it.

I never start a game without first typing the cheat testingcheatsenabled true in the main menu. Then whenever I get an unwelcome guest (repo-man, burglar, raccoon) I just shift-click them and hit delete. :twisted: :mrgreen:

I know I probably should pay more attention, but most of the time I simply forget the mailbox and bills remain there until that stupid man comes to take my stuff :lol:
Is there a way to automatic pay them when they arrive? It's really annoying :(

Only way is ''No bills ever'' Lifetime reward that you can purchase with Lifetime Happiness points ( 15,000 points ). :wink:

But you need World Adventures expansion for that. :)
