Re: [FIXED] Lot taxes seem too low

It's a bug. Lot taxes are supposed to be based on the lot value and the value of all objects on the lot. (As seen in the attached pic.) However, every lot shows $300 for lot taxes, even if it's a mansion.

@SqueamishNerd  The tool tip for the lot tax category indicates that part is still supposed to be "based on the value of all objects on the lot and the lot's value". 

This report is about the lot taxes themselves being too low, not about the bills in general. 🙂 The 'feature' mentioned in the live-stream should apply to things like water and power usage, and possibly the rebate calculation.  I don't know enough about how any of those three items are calculated to comment on whether or not they seem reasonable.  However, given that I am seeing a flat 300 simoleon charge for lot taxes in the majority of my households, and the lot taxes are only showing as a lower amount in a couple of households where the value is less than 20k, it appears that the lot taxes are not being calculated as described in the tool tip shown above & it seems like this issue starts once the lot values start getting a bit higher, possibly once they get higher than 20k.

Having just watched Carl's Sims Guides video on the update it appears to not be a bug.  All lots seem to have a flat tax of $300 irrespective of size of lot or worth of property.  The bills are based on how much water and power the sims use.  So my property worth over $500000 on a 64x64 lot now pays less than $500 in bills as I only have one toilet, a small fridge, and a small TV. (The property is full of expensive junk, and I'm fixing it up.)

@Flockleader Did you look at the screenshots above? The tooltip says that lot taxes are based on the value of the lot and everything on it. It's not a flat rate. It only appears that way because it's a bug. What sense would it make for every lot to only pay $300? The utilities hardly add up to anything. Lot taxes is where the majority of the bill comes from. Or would come from, if it were working properly.

Let's not forget that they told us that bills would roughly be the same. $18,000 is not even close to $267. They even said in the livestream that lot value is still used to help calculate bills. The bug is present even in the livestream, but they either didn't notice or ignored it.

@SqueamishNerdI love this feature because my sim is a vampire. There's no needed to use oven or sinks for meals. My sim uses only electricity but you know, mostly he is in community lots in day time. :D I got 300 bills this week which is good. I love it. :D
