The Sims 4 has a new bill system
In The Sims 4, bills come once a week on Monday. Sims can pay these bills with their cellphone, computer, or mailbox. Older Sims can use their mailbox to send payment. Items in the Sims’ inventory still count towards the bill. If you don’t want to keep them in your inventory, you can purchase a trait called “Frugal” from the aspiration reward store. This trait reduces the bill total by 25%. However, multiple Sims can stack the effect of this trait.
The new system enables flexibility in gameplay. Sims can choose to pay different bills according to their lifestyles. In the Miscellaneous Bills Category, household traits and mod discounts will be reflected in the bills. Purchasing multiple sources of power, water, and gas will help decrease the bills you owe, while reducing other expenses, like utilities, will generate credits back into the household. The new system is much more customizable than its predecessors, so you can use it to your advantage.
If you have children, you can set up auto-pay for child support, which will stop payments when the non-custodial parent is not able to pay. Children can also request that their payments stop if they cannot pay the bills. Moreover, if a Sim is unable to pay the bills and the other parent is not in their Active Household, then child support payments will automatically stop.
It’s a lot like the one in The Sims 3
The Sims series is famous for its ability to produce both peaceful and chaotic settings. Sims 4 is no exception. Instead of building and renovating your house from scratch, you’ll construct and customize prefabricated rooms in the game. While the building tool in Sims 4 remains rooted in the original game, the rules for creating your home are more forgiving. You can move poor placements of homes and snap rooms free.
The Sims 4 offers a wider variety of food. Recipe books from The Sims 3 were necessary to cook different meals. If you didn’t already own a recipe book, you’d have to buy the same one all over again. Recipe books cost more, and the more skilled you are, the more expensive they are. You’ll be able to build a much wider variety of food items with The Sims 4 than you could in The Sims 3.
Another change in Sims 4 is that you can now create odd jobs. These are jobs that aren’t full-time and don’t require a lot of resources. Odd jobs in The Sims 4 involve moving boxes, judging sandcastle contests, and more. While most odd jobs take place off-screen, some do require travel. This means that you can get a lot more work done in a much faster amount of time.

If you’re tired of doing the same boring tasks in Sims 4, you should consider switching to the new way of paying bills. In the Miscellaneous Bills category, you can set your own parameters. Mod discounts, household traits, and lot traits can reduce your water and power bills, for example. Once you have finished the game, you can adjust the amount of money you spend on your bills and save up for bigger upgrades.
