Please use this thread going forward: No option to pay bills (Patch 1.108.349) | EA Forums - 11974302
Did anyone ever find a way around this or does it remain unfixed? This has suddenly happened to me last night. I've tried everything, now my sims are just...living in vacation rentals? 😔
This has now happened to me as well, I do play with mods. It has only affected one household at this time. I deleted the mailbox, evicted the household, moved household, repaired the game and no luck. At this point my sims are forced to live off the grid in Brindleton Bay. My sims were living in an apartment when the bug originally occurred then I moved them thinking that would fix the issue but it hasn't.
Workaround I used was to replace the mailbox, that worked for me. Hopefully this helps you all out as well. Good luck
Well this is interesting...
- no electronics/plumbing present -> no additional notifications after receiving bills
- electronics (such as computer/lamp) but no plumbing being present/used -> power shutoff warning and subsequent shutoff but still no plumbing shutoff (or repo visit) and few days later power is back on again
- only plumbing present/used -> same as first one
In summary bug occurs if household doesn't consume both power and water.
