My sim lives in a small house but she pays 3,700 on bills each time. She literally has to work all week to pay the bills. Why are the bills so high and how are they calculated? What can I do to make them cheaper?
What the Guru didn't mention is that the stuff in your Sims' personal inventories also get caught up in the calculations. I make sure I have at least one member of the household earn the Frugal Trait reward. That does help to cut back on some of the cost. I also try to keep their inventories to a minimum.
