[ARCHIVED] Household receives positive bill they can't pay

Nope, was on the lot came through and they were positive, even tried deleting the lot to see if it was going away.

For now im just cheating power, but not a long term solution

That is high for bills on a new lot.  So, a few questions about the lot. 

Is it a big lot, like 40x30 or bigger?  A pic or two would be helpful. 

Does it have a lot of high end/expensive furnishings in it? 

Has the lot been played with another household that left things of high value behind? 

Are there are a lot of collectables on the lot, in storage chests or in your sim's inventory? 

Is there a vault present and if so, does it have any in it? If one is present and has money in it, you can pay the bills with that.  If you move all the money out of it into your household funds, then the bills will go down a lot.  Money in the vault is added to the value of the lot so it has a big impact on bills.

All these things have an impact on the bills.  

One thing you can try is to sell high value items if there are any.

Another thing you can try, is to move out, keeping the furniture.  Then move back in and put the furniture back in place. It'll all be in the household inventory.  Admittedly, it's a bunch of work, but it'll cause the values on everything to reset to their default and might reduce the bills.  

Hope this helps.  

did you ever find a solution to this?

I was impatient and just went back to a previous save. No mods, it was the weirdest thing my bills were all correct, but the total showed a positive number. The math wasn’t even matching! Oh well. I’ve had a few hours on since then and haven’t had issue. Thanks for trying to help.

I had this issue but not after downloading one of the kits. I ended up using MCC to fix the bills but you have to wait until the repo man comes and “pays the debt” that the game thinks you owe. They took one of my sims pictures, left the lot and the game went back to normal. I hope this helps!!

This exact thing happened to me! Right after I downloaded it, I built a new house and bills came. I had been living in the Eco Lifestyle world but had moved into Sulani. In the previous house I had solar panels, wind energy, and a dew collector. At this new house, bills came and says it's +78. I have tried to pay it from the computer, mailbox, and phone of both sims who live here, but nothing works and now my power is shut off and my sims are unhappy.
