For some reason Harder Bills mod no longer works for me, I'm not sure if it's conflicting with something or what, I tried putting it on overrides but nope. Very strange, it used to work. Might be beca...

Yes, I do use the daily fee feature but not the one that extends it to the actively played household. It's meant to compensate for inactive sims not needing to pay for routine things like food (unless they eat out all the time) that they need to survive and taxis for which active sims are charged by way of a mod. The default of §25 per sim per household each day is a bit high so in some worlds even when I want it to be expensive but not impossible for sims to live there I do usually reduce it a bit.
A small number of households I play in rotation do not have anyone in them with standard rabbithole jobs and in fact don't make much money at all when I'm not controlling them because they haven't quite evolved to the level where they might have real estate and business investments. I can't exempt them from the daily fees because that's a General setting and doesn't conform to the usual Town/ Caste/ Household/ Sim structure. So for those special cases I designate them as tax exempt by way of a manual caste so that they pay no property or income taxes while they are inactive and keep a close eye on their funds and Accounting Reports otherwise they would keep going broke on me in between cycles. In a couple of such cases where the household is very large and again no standard jobs among them, I make a few of the sims into Role Sims by way of Register while they are not actively played and make sure they are paid enough hourly to cover the daily fees and whatever else they may need to at least tread water for a while.
Thanks for the kind words and am glad to hear that I have at least somewhat inspired a different style of play for you (and perhaps others reading this) to try out. :)
