Please use this thread going forward: [FR] Can't Pay Bills/Rent (Tenant) | EA Forums - 11913758
Product: The Sims 4
Platform: Xbox Series X
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.86
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All content installed.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play a Sim who is a tenant and try to pay their rent.
What happens when the bug occurs? There is no way at all to pay rent. Bills arrived once to the mailbox in 11 days, she paid them but they did not include rent. The rent value is showing as 0 on everything. There's no option to pay on the phone/PC or in the "Rental" conversation interactions. The bills breakdown has no option there either. She's had warning notifications about being late.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to pay rent.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I added For Rent.
I've tried travelling, I've tried enabling and disabling events, I've added the landlord to My Households, I tried going on vacation but no bills arrived at all. I keep checking the mailbox and the phone. I keep inviting over the landlord, I've tried playing as the landlord. I'm all out of ideas now. Her tenancy rolled over to the next 7 day period despite this going on. When she moved in it said the rent was 0.
I've spent 4 days redesigning the lot and got it from 1 star to 4 star. I hope I haven't wasted my time. It's the first rental I've played because I wanted to give time for bugs to be ironed out but it's just impossible.
It would even help if there was a link to pay added to the warning notifications.
I can't share saves or use mods to fix this as I'm on Xbox and I can't use cheats either as most cheats affect console achievements.
I am also having this error with a fresh install and a lot from the gallery. It’s the same if I move into apartment lots from the for rent pack specifically too. Even trying to move my sim via the phone still shows a 0$ rent on the bills screen. I’ve no mods installed at all.
I'm also having this issue. I purchased the pack during the September 2024 sale and began a new file with a Sim already in Tomarang. I tried to pay rent but there was no option to do so from the mailbox, phone or computer. Now her power is getting shut off and there's nothing I can do. This essentially renders the pack useless and unplayable.
I've just had a final warning and am about to receive a visit fromt the Repoman.
Can't afford to move out, else I wouldn't be living in a rental apartment in the first place.
Hi! First time using For Rent and this happens ☹️ i am using mods and cc but removed them to test like stated in the previous posts and nothing changed. it's too bad that this is still a problem almost 11 months after release
