I am playing the Sims 4 on my Windows PC. I played a family, and have moved out all adult kids to their own individual homes. But for some reason, one of the adult kids gets bills twice per week, on Monday and Thursday. He can barely get ahead because of these outrageous bills! This is a little too close to real life. I have never had this happen before, and I have been playing various Sims games since the games came out. Any help?

@spicyelephant It means that you have multiple households and you play them in rotation, like one week each.

Oh, sometimes. I will stick with one for a couple of weeks, then go to another for a day or two, then go to another for a couple of weeks. But the twice weekly bills only happen to the one character, not all the other ones.

@spicyelephant If you play that character that has the issue for say two or three weeks in a row, does the issue continue ?

Hast the Sim been at Uni ?

That Sim hasn't gone to university, and I only play him for a week or two in game before going to one of his siblings to play.

@spicyelephant My suggestions was to play him a bit longer to see if the bill correct themselves after playing a while.

Like play for three weeks before changing.

@spicyelephant Did the bills correct themselves or are you still getting them twice a week ?
