[NEEDS INPUT] Repeatable service is completely free (Free Services trait)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim who have "Free Services" reward store trait. Hire a Repeatable Maid or Gardening service(not one-shot one). Watch until they come to your home and finish the work.
What happens when the bug occurs? "That'll be $0"
What do you expect to see? The trait's description says "All single-use service requests are free". The sim requested is "repeated", not "single request".
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? No

    I think most people actually enjoy this.

    There might be an older thread on this and no one really cared about this.

    Going to tag this as input neede and see if other people want this changed (I don't)

    i'll add a "me too" but as feedback, as the behaviour doesn't match the reward's description. but TBH i never use "free services" as it doesn't suit my gameplay style. 😉 so i actually want to see what other people think, too!

    I didn't add a "me too" because I really enjoy it this way. I hired a nanny for twin babies. He was a very good nanny and stayed through the toddler stage but never charged. Added a very good friend to the family!

    Ah just noticed this myself - not sure it was like this before, am ALMOST certain that in the past the repeating service stayed with a charge + only the single time one became free.

    @Anonymous It was always this way since the game came out in 2014

    I like it as it is too, though I think the description should be updated to show that it affects those other services. I mean if that is the intended function, at least have it say so that way people don't mistake it for a bug.
