Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
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? 1.64.84.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Expansions: All except Eco Lifestyle Game Packs: Realm of Magic, Dine Out, Outdoor Retreat Stuff Packs: Moschino Stuff, Laundry Day, Bowling Night
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? You can find the bug by living in the 19 Culpepper House in San Myshuno, and go to the gym before 5:00 a.m. Monday morning.
What happens when the bug occurs? The rent will become due at 5:00 a.m. on Monday instead of 10:00 a.m., and will be considered as unpaid. The full original bill (power, water. and original rent) will still be intact, and cannot be paid. This causes a high bill payment amount for the following Monday.
What do you expect to see? My original bill due at 10:00 a.m. Monday morning no matter where I am.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
In my attached screenshot, you can see I have more than enough funds to pay the bills, but somehow I have unpaid rent. I have removed all of my CC and Mc Command Center, deleted the local thumb cache package file, and repaired the game. The issue is still there. I was hoping that the force bills cheat would work, but it seems that it was removed from the game.
Do you have any mods dealing with bills ?

I removed the mods before and after I received the bill. I had a save that was that saved on Saturday (in-game day), and played through it without mods and cc.
Here is a screen recording that shows the problem:

Did you ever get actual bills in the mail ?
Would you mind sending me your save ? Instructions in my signature - crinrict5 years agoHero+@mazdalover24 I tested your save and I was able to pay the bill (although it was lower than it should have been as the power and water wasn't added which is probably the same this user is reporting: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Game-s-not-counting-water-amp-power-excess-to-bills-while-being/td-p/9306262/
So basically what I'm seeing is this
1. Travel to another lot
2. Get bills at 5 am instead of 10 but only for the lot tax amount
3. go back to your home lot
4. pay bill which is lower than it should be (Phone or Mailbox)
5. The next bill will be higher cause you didn't pay for water/power
I didn't play until next bill but no power shut-down happened for not paying bill
I do agree that the bill shouldn't arrive early and should be full amount but I couldn't duplicate the not being able to pay one. You do have the option in your video on the mail box as well for §600 - crinrict5 years agoHero+@mazdalover24 Have you been able to solve the issue with not able to pay the bills ?
