So i recently started a new game on Sims 4, i am living in the city. Right now i have one bathroom. I keep getting fined $100 for water usage. This has never happened to me before. I have never got personally fined, usually the water turns off for everyone for like a day. I dont think i use that much water tbh. I have one sim living there and he works a lot and is out most of the time or just doing his music. Is this a glitch or something? Cuz like i said i really dont even be using crazy amount of water, its 1 sim with 1 bathroom. Very weird lmfao help if ya can plz

@TrapStar0217 My guess it that it could be because of a NAP being active in the neighbourhood. Could you please look at the mailbox and say if there are any active, and which ones?

@TrapStar0217 It is not how much water you use but if the appliances are upgraded with water recycler.

@TrapStar0217 You can see what NAPs there are active in the neighbourhood, maybe there is one that regulates the water use?

@TrapStar0217 In the pack Eco Lifestyle there is a feature called Neighbourhood Action Plans, that creates some gameplay in the neighbourhood. If you have that pack you can click on the mail box and see what NAPs are active.

You are apparently very new to the game. Most things can be upgraded by clicking on them and select upgrade. You need to be a certain level in handiness to perform upgrades. The water recycler requires level 2 handiness. Using the workbench and repairing things will quickly give you enough handiness.
