bills wont go through

I have the options of paying bills, but when the sims go to pay it goes through the motion and then the money doesn't disappear. I have tried leaving the lot and going on vacation to pay the bills. Adding a new sim to the house wouldn't pay allow the bills to be paid either. I do not have any mods or CC.

  • @maddiepaige02 are you on PC?

    There have been a couple of issues with paying bills lately with a Residential lot and also with Residential Rental lots. So can you tell us what type of lot you are playing? That would help narrow it down.

    There's a few things you can try. I'd check on another household to see if they can pay bills. I'd also try moving them out of their lot and to a different lot temporarily to see if that makes a difference.

    If nothing works then pop back and let us know what type of lot you are playing.

    Good luck.

    @maddiepaige02 Have you tried any other households to see if they are affected also? I'd try a pre made household created by the game just to see if all households are affected.

    I've found an open bug report here with a PC player dealing with what looks like a similar issue.

    There is some advice on there that may be useful. If that doesn't help and the issue is still there, if you'd like to click the Me Too button on the first post and then hit Reply. You should be prompted with a bug template to fill in with your information.
