Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Русский язык
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.82.99.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Load a sim living on the tiny-hose lot
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim gets enormous bill
What do you expect to see? Regular bills
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? Neutral/Not Sure
I am not sure which patch has broken this in my game because I wasn't playing with that family for a while. Now (after several in-game minutes) my sim got a bill and it is huge! He has about 22000 and the bill is 48000! He lives in a tiny-house, thus his bills are around 200. The billing info says 48000 is for unpaid bills but this shouldn't even be possible as I haven't been playing with him for months!

@crinrictYes, he got bills while on another lot, though it wasn't community lot but just other family lot.

@crinrictNot sure what do you mean. Of course I went back immediately and checked at the post box what bill I have to pay. The amount is the same. Do you want me to wait another in-game week for another bill? I can try it, but this means repo-man will come to take my stuff
Can you just give me a link to that thread? I will read through it to make sure if this is the same issue.

Ah...
It's a known bug. Go to this bug report and click on "Me Too".

If you're on PC, that thread also mentions a mod I made that will bypass the bug.

@PsychotpsI agree the usage seems off (-326), but the payment (196) is nowhere near the amount to generate such a huge bill:

@rostsit What I mean is the week after. Like you pay the enormous bills (cheat if necessary) and then make sure you're on your home lot the next time and check the bill amount.
With the bug, you pay for both lots and if you were on a rather expensive lot, it explains your issue.
There's one for another lot: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Bills-are-wrong-amount-if-playing-another-lot-when...
and this is for vacationing: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-OR-JA-Very-High-Household-Bills-While-On-Vacation/...
