No option to pay bills (Patch 1.108.349)

Recently purchased and downloaded the new Hobbies & Businesses. Auto updated the game and turned all and any mods of. 

Started a new save game to prevent any interfering options and I've now played with this household for  3 standard seasons. Only to realize I can't pay the bills. The mailman hasn't visited my lot. I've tried moving the sim and restarting the game and PC to see if this helps but sadly not. 

No notification pops to say my bills are over due or that the power will be turned off, its just accumulating debt. Option to  get mail/pay bills is grayed out and there is no option to pay bills via PC or phone.

    I thought perhaps this update would fix it as they mentioned fixing the ability to pay bills, however I am still not receiving the bills on monday. The mail person won't deliver the bills. I'm not in a rental, it's not a mod (i tested in a vanilla save) and the mail person will not arrive on Monday to deliver bills, and therefore, I can't pay them. 

    I can trick the game into it, by leaving the lot on Sunday and staying there until about 5/6 am on Monday, but thats it. The mail person will deliver collectibles, rewards, fan mail, but they won't deliver the bills. What gives?

    Same issue, more or less. Single sim--no pets, this would be Sim week four for this sim, on this lot. Yesterday the option to pay bills via mailbox was there but I did not have sim pay them at that time. Updated this morning, logged back in, played a full sim day before remembering bills were waiting but no option at mailbox--just option to "get mail" which transferred bills to Sim's inventory. Still no option to pay bills via mailbox, and no option via phone nor bills pile in inventory.

    No mods nor CC.
