Lot Taxes Too High!!
I've been playing TheSims since day one of the original game on the PC. So, I'm a long time fan of the franchise, and I have enjoyed the games very much. I'm probably even one of the very few who als...

My lot taxes were about 64k until I cheated the power consumption and water consumption. Suddenly my lot taxes shut up to around 1.8 to 2.2 million.
A roommate would have to pay $180,000 a month to stay at my place. And I just got the college expansion...... Fml
I'm going to move to another lot soon and make sure I don't cheat the utilities to see if things go back to normal.
I have the same problem. I've played since 2000 (Sims 1) and never had trouble paying my bills so I decided to focus on self-care and wellness this time around so I bought a lot at the beach in the wedding EP world, and built her a nice house with plenty of beach for her yoga and meditation classes and she was getting $4000 bills. I had her upgrade everything in the home to conserve energy/water/fuel and she's still getting 5K to 6K bills every few days, so finally I looked at the bill break down and she's got $5000 alone in lot taxes. WTAF??? Why? She only makes a few hundred a day from her yoga classes. I just had her start making candles so she can sell them at a yard sale or on plopsy, but that doesn't justify 5K lot taxes. Am I not allowed to grow my own food as well? because I learned that this tax is also based off your inventory. Well, I have some chickens and a lot of produce growing in my beach. Are you no longer allowed to combine multiple concepts? This is ridiculous. Is there a cheat to lower the taxes?
@LoganIsSleepy I'm not aware of a cheat to lower taxes, but there are money cheats. Please also read through the posts in this thread to collect some ideas to potentially address ways to lower the taxes in your lot and to raise the income of the household to pay these taxes.
Here are some money cheats, if you want to make use of any of these:
Money cheats are a way to get funds to move into a lot, to recover funds lost due to a bug, to regain funds after being moved to the library and back into a new save, etc.
With your lot open, press Shift+Control+C to open the cheat console box (upper left of your screen):
• Type Motherlode then press enter for every $50,000 simoleons your sim needs.
• Type rosebud or kaching then press enter for $1,000 simoleons.
• Enter freerealestate on or freerealestate off to enable or disable free homes.
• Money cheat set exact funds:
Money 100 sets at 100 Simoleons
Money 000 sets to ZeroHate to beat on old threads... but ... I'm new to this game and lot taxes are messed up. I'm getting charged for taxes of the place I am at when the bill arrives instead of my Newcrest lot. IE if I am at the library, I get charged for all the library lot taxes, if I am at a mansion, I get charged for the mansion taxes, etc. You'd think programmers could do simple math, but this isn't the case. It's not inventories that are the problem here either it's programming errors for lot taxes. My lot taxes should be around 71 not over 600 for sure. With inventory a little higher and this isn't how taxes work in the first place. Tax collectors don't go through your inventory it's for the land and house. The tax system shouldn't include household or inventory items because realistically you're taxed once when you buy an item not month to month. Sloppy programming.
