[NEEDS INPUT] Utilities switch back on despite unpaid bills

[ Edited ]
★★★★ Apprentice

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.44.88
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except fitness and MFP
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Have unpaid bills and utilities shut off on a home lot 2. Travel to another lot 3. Return to the home lot that has unpaid bills and no utilities
What happens when the bug occurs? When returning to the home lot with unpaid bills and switched off utilities, objects that require power and water can be used despite the bills remaining unpaid.
What do you expect to see? Power and water should continue to be shut off when travelling away from the home lot and returning.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Not sure specifically since what patch. Perhaps after Seasons?

Was able to replicate issue with removed mods, repaired game, a reset Sims 4 folder and in a fresh save with all of the former.

@camsin Not 100% sure if the patch notes refer to this.
