[FR] Feedback about Payment System
Dear Sims Team
For Rent EP's new system has already some bug reports. This is related to multiple bug reports, so I post here as feedback.
The rental fee calculation system resets the values when you restart the game, so even if you cut the timeline and check the save, you will not get the correct result.
The Remaining Lease Days in the Tenant Agreement panel are also reset at the same time, and will start counting down from the time you resume the save.
Furthermore, if you have not set Unit Rules, the Lease Days countdown will start from the move-in date, but the Rental Fee calculation specifies a Sunday as the payment date regardless of the day of the week you move in, so there will be a discrepancy between the Remaining Lease Days and payments.
First of all, it is predicted that there will be no hope of improving the issues with bills unless the billing amount and lease day counts are not reset when a save is restarted.Next, regarding the delivery of bills.This seems to be closely related to the 'Sort Junk Mail' action.It seems that the action of 'obtaining and using a coupon' is the trigger for delivery of mail, so mail will not be delivered if you have the coupon. In other words, if you start the game from a residential rental house, Junk Mail will be delivered along with any other mail, so there is no way to obtain a coupon, and mail, let alone bills, will not be delivered.
The bill amount is calculated correctly, and the number of days until the lease date is counted down correctly. (I checked the game with the game running from after one payment to the next payment complete.)
The problem seems to be that it is reset when the game is restarted, Mail delivery is fixed on Mondays, the same as for Normal Residential house, and the trigger for delivery is the use of a coupon.
You have a great system in place and I really want it to work as intended.
sincerely yours
Edit May/17/2025:
I will delete the description about the delivery of mail. The reason is that in subsequent tests, events contrary to the description were confirmed, and at this time, I have not seen any events sufficient to explain it. I apologize for the confusion.
