Bill: Difference between revisions

Bills are delivered by a [[mail carrier]] to the lot's [[mailbox]]. Once delivered, a Sim must be sent to retrieve the bills, and to place the paid bills back into the mailbox within a fixed number of days. InNeglecting [[Theto Sims 2]] and [[The Sims 3]] If thepay bills are neglected, the lot will eventually be visited by the [[repo-man]], who will repossess (take) household itemsresult in placenegative ofconsequences payment. In [[Thefor Sims 4]] If the bills aren't payed in 48 hours after the warning, the electricity will be shut down lot, meaning that electrical appliances, electronics and lamps won't function and in next 48 hours after the power out the water will be cut off (sinks, bathubs won't work). How often bills are delivered, the amount of time given to pay them, and the formula used to calculate them varies between games.

If the bills are not paid before the end of that day, the bills will explode and a [[Reporepo-man]] will arrive on the lot and repossess items roughly equal in value to the debt owed and in some cases more. The Reporepo-man in ''The Sims 3'' will repossess the item that is closest to the debt but not under it, meaning he will almost always repossess items that are worth more than the bill payment was.

In ''The Sims 4'', if a bill isn't paid within 48 hours, electricity will be cut off until the bills are paid, meaning that all electrical appliances, electronics and lamps will cease to function. If the bills remain unpaid for another 48 hours after that, the household water supply will also be cut. However, no repo-man will come, unlike previous games.
