Oh this one, it happens Every time if you're not home, no exceptions. For me I usually get too small bills which is even more annoying than paying in excess because this game is too easy already and I don't want free simoleons!

 So for one week, my sims have been renting a lot of rental buildings before their wedding. For example, I rent a place for my sims' bachelorette party, then I rent a different place for my sim on their bridal shower, etc. And a different place for the wedding venue.

 

Then comes Monday after their wedding and the bills came during their honeymoon in Mt. Komorebi (I rented a place there), and it was 19k simoleons??? Why are they even paying bills on rental lots/buildings? Didn't they pay for the rent fee already? Now my sims can't buy their dream house, was planning them to. 

 

*My sims only have a medium sized house in Brindleton Bay, the bill there is usually 4k simoleons only.

This has started happening in my game on Xbox Series S. I've converted the Narwhal Arms into a residential lot, a luxury 3 bath/2 bed bungalow. The bills are usually just under 9,000 simoleans. But my Sim travels a lot and has 2 stores, one of which has a beach house attached where she stays at the weekend. If she's at her beach house or on vacation, or camping somewhere her bills are 10k higher. I noticed first when she was away at Granite Falls. At first I thought was it because she'd bought retail lots, but then I noticed that when she was at home when the bills were delivered they were back to the regular amount.

She's wealthy so she can pay it but it still doesn't look like it should be happening.

I have this problem too. I don't use any mods/cc or cheats. When I'm on my home lot, I have so much water and power saved that I get money back bc I only have a toilet and a fabricator on my lot that use water/power and my house is on a tiny home and off-the-grind lot as it only has greenhouse downstairs and beds upstairs, as well as lots of windmills, solarpanels and watercatcher (don't remember what they are called). I'm playing rags to riches as a werewolf with aging off for played household.

But when I'm on a different lot and I get the bills, the power and water says 0 and I have to pay over 1000 in taxes. It's annoying when trying to do rags to riches, as well as the 1 million scenario.
