@jasminewessien Merging this with the low taxes thread.

[HeyRave]

@daniellepage12 I had the same issue where right after the 24 hour notice my power was shut off. It also seemed like bills were delivered twice in one week but I'm not sure what the days were.

from day to day i feel more sorry for EA programmers. i know they may have difficult Times in home office or something else... but this expansion pack brought so MANY serious bugs that make the game so unplayable. i really dont want to be annoyed just hoping they catch up as soon as possible all these gamebreaking issues

btw i too have 300simoleons basic price for a 40k house

Before the patch, my bills for my mansion were at over 40k, now they were at 823.

The Lot Taxes were only 300 simoleons despite the mansion is worth over 1 million simoleons.

Why are people complaining about this?

For years lots have had unrealistic taxes attached to them, they lower it and folks complain.

EA/Maxis - do not fix this, it is fine as it is.

@troshalomFirst of all, they didn't 'lower' it, it's a bug. An annoying bug where every single house only pays $300 in bills. How realistic is it to live in a mansion and only pay $300?

So no, it's not fine and EA, please fix this ASAP, as it ruins my enjoyment of the game. Thanks.

@troshalom It removes any remaining challenge related to money from the game. 

The way it is now with the bug is very unrealistic as my sims can earn tens of thousands for the week, live in a huge-**** mansion and only have to spend a paltry $300. There's no way to create a situation where someone struggles "paycheck to paycheck" (which is quite realistic) anymore. None of my sims will ever see the newly-added Repoman due to a true lack of funds.

First day playing with the new Billing System i'm also seeing my Sims being Billed twice despite just paying it, my sim currently living on the Park payed 45 simoleons for his empty Lot and he payed it, went back to the park and next Sim Day he was Billed another 45 Simoleons.

@troshalom as @Pegasyms said and there are many gamer that like to play very realistic and without any money cheats like me, and this breaks the gameplay. i like to see how my sims handle their life with less money from the start and building up their base from time to time. and for this realistic and sometimes high bills belong to this
