My Bills Are CRAZY!

I agree that sims shouldn't be taxed on items in their house or inventory. Real estate taxes irl where I live are based on the land and house value, not how much a person owns. We have auto taxes but the sims don't have cars. They shouldn't be taxed for having furniture or from collectibles, though it would be more true to life if when sell them a percentage is taken off for taxes. The household weekly bill should be based on the land, house, and the electric/water bills not everything they own. You can't decorate your home with the collectibles you find in the world or when adventuring in the jungle because it increases your bill to a crazy amount. I always feel the need to sell it just to keep bills down, which is a shame after my sim's hard work finding it! lol My sims struggle to buy a larger home because as soon as they earn enough they pay their bill and very little is left.
