I believe this to be solved
Added some suggestions to the first post.
Please read
It's most definitely a bug. I didn't even know my Sim had the bills. I sent her out to the mailbox to publish yet another book, just as the notice about 48 hours to pay the bill (which is a whopping $4851) showed up. By the time I realized it, the bills were in her inventory. The option is there to pay them, but...as many others have written here and elsewhere...the queue empties itself as soon as it fills...no bill-paying.
I'm going to try moving in another Sim, to see if that Sim can actually pay the bills.
I just started over with this Sim, since she had actually disappeared from her home earlier today...the third Sim in my game to do that (sigh).
Still...I am honestly loving TS4, glitches and all. 😕mileyhappy:
The "moving in another Sim" workaround did the trick. I moved in a second Sim from my Library, and took her immediately to the mailbox, where she had the option to pay the very expensive bills (the household had MORE than enough simoleons on hand). Then I had to do so more research to find out out to evict just ONE Sim. ;-)
Thanks for confirming
for me it is not working, new sims moved in but no post in the box... no option in phone to pay it and as no power anymore... not able to use the pc.
travelt a lot and moved also to new houses...
any idea?
