Cant pay bills sims 4. Also missing other options on almost all appliances

I had the base Sims 4 and never had an option to pay bills, lights keep getting shut off. I searched for a couple of days, tried everything i saw (listed below) and still nothing. I bought the expansion packs and still can't pay bills. I also can't use bathtubs, i don't have many conversation options no matter the sims relationship status, I can't select the radio, just multiple weird missing options. I don't know what else to do and can't find an option to contact EA directly. 

For bill pay issue what I have tried:

- Test all the cheat codes I have found, nothing works. (setting up auto pay, forcing bills etc.)

-Added an expansion pack and tried a different mailbox.

-No option on the computer or sims cell, tried to go to the library and use the computer there, no luck.

-Moved in a new sim

-Deleted and reinstalled the game

-Moved my sims in to a new house tried to pay bills there, no luck and no electricity in the new house.

-Selected the repair option for the game

-Made sure its the most updated version. Made sure my computer was up to date on updates.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Super bummed the game is almost not playable if I can't figure this out ☹️

  • hi @beee_ford Do you play with any added content in the Mods folder?

    Another thing to do is to refresh your gameplay folder: Exit Sims 4 then drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop. Launch Sims 4, reset your Options how you like them, and start a New Game to see if the issues have cleared.
