Can't pay my bills!!

Help! I've had this problem for a looong time now where i can't pay my bills. I can see my bill information and it says that i have unpaid bills but i can't pay them. I cannot pay through phone or computer. It has happened before and i would solve it by travelling to a different world/go on vacation, then when i came back to my lot i would get that unpaid bill SOUND immediately. that's not working anymore. 

The bills seem to stack up and the unpaid bills are marked red but nothing is happening.. no one is turning off my power or water.  

I tried without mods and the problem is still there so that's not it. It's been like this for... atleast 5-6 months and i've just learned to live with it but i'm getting tired because i want bills lol!

I tried repairing. Hope someone can answer this or tell me what they did if they had the same problem.

  • Hi thanks so much for the reply!!

    So, i tested once more without mods. I even reinstalled my game, made a new sim , waited a WEEK until monday.. bills came!!!!!!!!

    Put my old save in the folder again, started my game... BILLS STUCK! 

    Then i deleted my mailbox, put up one of those wall mailboxes from snowy escape.. and what do you know.. The bill option is there!! so it's a mailbox problem?

    So weird. it must be a glitch because i've played with multiple families, houses and mailboxes and this have been a recurring problem for a looong time. anyway, i kinda solved it? lol!

  • @Behehe175 Does it happen if you remove the mod folder plus the cache file and test in a new game save as follows:

    Exit the game. Move the Mods folder from your "The Sims 4" folder [Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4] to your desktop (save it for reference) and delete the localthumbcache.package file in your “The Sims 4” folder. You can then test without saving in a brand new, vanilla game save and see if the issue is present.
