Bills can’t be paid.

Two sim household, as of yesterday my sims can’t pay their bills. The option to pay them is available, and the bills are in the husband’s inventory, but whenever I click to pay them he just goes through the motion and no money comes out and the bills still say they need to be paid. At this point repo men keep showing up and I just delete them bc I don’t know what else to do. I’ve tried every stupid troubleshooting suggestion from the YEARS OLD posts that had the same issue and nothing has worked. Short of deleting the family and starting over idk what else to do and frankly this is ridiculous. I’m scared to play any other save since the latest update June 2025 because it seems like it completely broke my game. So far I have: deleted all pets, tried to regenerate bills, move household out and back in, added a new sim to the household, tried the auto pay cheat (did nothing, game did not even recognize a cheat had been entered), tried the force bills due cheat, tried EVERY SINGLE MAILBOX, deleted local cache. 
Again, this wasn’t even an issue until the latest patch so I have a feeling it’s EA and not my mods (oh, yeah, I also tried the save without mods and it didn’t make a lick of difference).

    I can’t find a single post that helps with this issue. My sim family can’t pay their bills. The bills are in the husband’s inventory, the option is on the phone, mailbox, and computer, the sim makes the motion as if they’ve paid them, and yet no money is taken and the option remains. They’ve got repo men showing up now to take all their stuff and I STILL can’t pay the bills. I’ve tried getting rid of pets, traveling off lot, playing a different household in the same save, adding a new sim to the household, deleting the local cache, I mean short of deleting the whole save idk what else to do. There are NO resolutions from EA and nothing from the old posts works. This started for me after the most recent update as of June 2025. It also started raining inside for me then, too.

    It stays at like 108$ or whatever. I see there’s absolutely no solution for this, that’s great.
