Seriously, what's the logic behind bills anyway?

My sim's house isn't particularly big or fancy, I've stopped using the thermostat and rather have the sim dress according to weather (although it looks silly when they wear winter clothes inside), and she's got the frugal trait. My sim is a millionaire, but with bills claiming over 100K that won't last much longer. I'm considering having her move into a cheap apartment, at least the rent is a fixed price there.

I actually found one good use for the vault. It might be old news but I'll say it anyway. If you want to add a new sim to your household through CAS, you can stash your fortune in the vault so you won't lose it, since your household funds get reset once you add a sim (I don't know if this is a bug or if they did it on purpose), I learned that the hard way. Just stash absolutely all of your cash in there and then just sell the vault when you get back, and you'll still have your fortune as well as a 22.000 bonus. ;)

Well they got rid of the repo man and replaced it with bills. I like the bills. Teaches Simmers responsibility and honestly if it really was realistic, bills would be a lot higher than they are now so I think they have been pretty generous with them and fun way to play rags to riches.

Sorry for the necro, I can't find the button to make a new thread for some reason.

Is your personal / household inventory and residential lot the only things that get factor into bills or do retail and restaurant lots you own included also? I was planning to open up 2-3 different types of retail lots under one household but wasn't sure if they would all of that property value would get add to my bills.
