What exactly happens when you try to pay them ?
- 2 years ago
I have 0 mods, and this exact glitch happened to me with the For Rent pack after I paid my landlord in person for the bills. The game took my money & claims I didn’t pay utilities. Sends a bill in the mail but when you click on it, you can only favorite it. Repo man is stealing all my stuff too.

Glad to know I’m not crazy lol. I tried to do a work around and have a household buy the rental lot to see if the option would pop up on the mailbox or phone and still nothing. Even then, I notice that the household that bought the lot doesn’t have it as owned in the business panel and I can’t re-purchase the lot bc it says that it’s already owned. It’s sad bc I was really looking forward to this pack. Hopefully the issue is resolved soon.

I have a similar issue, my households do not receive any bills and there are no options to pay them. I thought it was because I played rotational and missed the day the rent was due, but even staying for the whole 7 days with the same household did not change that, I even had the landlord come on the lot but he did not ask me anything and there are not options regarding rent. I see the late rents cumulating in the bills and taxes info but that's it.
I also tried playing as the landlord and for him no options to collect the rents.
- 2 years ago@crinrict Hi Crin, I did not test without CC, but I did without mods and this was still an issue. I found workarounds however; If your sims aren't able to receive/pay their bills, leave your house lot and go somewhere else. You should receive a notification that you can pay your bills now. It looks like this issue is related to any mail that you should be receiving normally. I don't think I've noticed a mailman delivering mail since patching my game.
In addition, I've also experienced the common billion dollars in rent bug that other players are reporting, and a work around, that worked for me, is having another household purchase the residential rental lot and manually setting the rent prior to moving in a household. I can't confirm or deny if this helps, but I read another user had less issues moving in their household via the "move household" feature on the sims' phones, so I've been doing that and it seems to be working better. Thanks!- crinrict2 years agoHero+@UwUDeezUwU For the future, please always test on a vanilla game (no cc/mods) before reporting in the bug forum
Thank you. - Syxarp2 years agoSeasoned Veteran
I left the lot and she still can’t pay her bills. I have no mods or cc and own every pack. I already had to start a new save because my game froze while traveling to an event. Very frustrating.

I have been playing for a few days, no mods, didnt have any issues.
Then I got the bills, and couldnt, randomly, pay the bills - tried to move household, tried to move in another sim from library, tried traveling to another lot, nothing helps..
Spent a fortune on this game and cant even play it due to this.. ? D:
