Unable to pay bills on PS4
My Sims' bills across all my households have been unpaid for over a month now. There is no Pay Bills option on the mailbox; I've tried destroying and rebuilding it in many locations around the house ...

@crinrict I've tried a few new saves already, tried deleting the Sims4 altogether and redownloading it, tried bringing in a new Sim into the household, and nothing seems to work. Seems to be a general issue. Maybe just with playing on PS4? Hoping a new update can fix this.
There's a couple of things I can suggest to work round the problem. Do you have Eco Living? If so you could add energy generating items from that pack, wind turbines, solar panels for example. You'll need a few to generate enough. In your lot traits, set your home to eco traits such as Natural Well.
You can also try and live Off the Grid and in build mode replace items with Functional Off the Grid items, including laptops.
Another suggestion is to edit a Rental Lot and add a computer. Send your Sim on vacation and see if you get the option to pay your bills on the vacation home computer.
Edit: I attach an Off the Grid guide here for you. I'd maybe test this on a new household on a different lot. I like Sulani in particular for Off Grid life if you have Island Living. My Sims often pick a deserted island and have a tent and a camp fire there. They use the waterfall as a shower, use the local amenities (until they have enough points to get the Steel Bladder trait usually from the fishing/curator aspirations) and fish/forage for food sources. You could test it this way and then try going back to the grid life and see if that changes anything for you.

I'd also try an existing family like the Goths or Landgrabbs for example and see if the same thing happens to their household.
- @simsplayer818 Thank you so much!! I'll give that a try!
