Cannot pay bills, power shut off

The option to pay bills exists (on the mailbox and phone) and the sim 'does the action' but nothing happens; the power does not return, and the option to 'pay bills' remains. Cannot use computer due to power shut off.

-tried replacing the mailbox with every other mailbox variant 
-tried paying bills will all adult sims
-tried moving the lot and family
-tried moving to a completely different lot and world 
-tried travelling and returning home 
-tried installing a mod that auto pays bills and allows children to pay bills

Additionally, it's a large house and the bills are under 50 simoleons, which is suspicious.

    I am not using mods. I tried adding a mod with an 'Autopay Bills' function to fix this problem, but it did not work. My bills are a positive amount, but similarly to that thread they do not make sense. It's a very large farm house I downloaded from the gallery, so the bills should be much more expensive than they are. My sims nor the lot have any traits that would make bills cheaper (Frugal/Geothermal).

    Thank you for your time and your response, I appreciate it. I could go back to an old save.. but I am really happy with how things are going in my current save and would really rather not.

    Okay, thank you. I noticed that the thread you referred me to was created 11 months ago but it doesn't seem like there are any updates.. Is that typical? I'm sure you understand that I'd rather have this fixed soon, especially before diving into the new EP! Thanks again for your time, I appreciate it.
