Its hard to play without cheats to pay the heat bill
Is there anyway EA will make a patch to lower the heat bill? I dont like using many cheats. But its nearly impossible with the heat bill and even with my sims at the top of tge employment latter.

My Sims household always got electricity shut down.. especially during Summers (I play at 28 days for each season, experienced more than 3 times heat wave, multiple blizzard, the heater always turns on especially during winter, but now, they have a fireplace) I don't use any cheat, but I get them to work and paint to pay the bill and I let them in the dark if they still can't pay for it. Few factors can be considered will increase the bills, like the lot size, items, the usage of thermostat, etc. For my Sims, most of the earnings are for paying the bill. Only the extra Simoleons will be used for renovation works. Was a bit lucky as the father has a Fresh Chef trait, so basically they don't spend much on food, because it will never spoil. And the daughter has a Frugal trait. For the current household, the max they paid recently was around 18k, and now, entering Autumn, they are paying around 8k. But, I have another household who is paying around 40k-45k.
