Line 8:
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. Neglecting to pay bills will result in negative consequences for Sims. How often bills are delivered, the amount of time given to pay them, and the formula used to calculate them varies between games.
==The Sims==
In ''[[The Sims]]'', bills are delivered every three days. To pay the bills, the player must first direct a [[Sim]] to remove the bills from the mailbox, and then direct a Sim to pay them. [[Child]]ren and [[adult]]s can remove bills from the mailbox, but only adults are able to pay them.

Line 16 ⟶ 21:
==The Sims 2==
In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', bills are delivered to the lot's mailbox on Tuesday and Thursday at 10:00 am. As in ''The Sims'', bills must be removed from the mailbox before they can be paid, but unlike ''The Sims'', [[child]]ren cannot do this. Sims may get the bills from the mailbox autonomously, but usually will not. [[Teen]]s and older Sims can pay bills, but will not do so autonomously.
The way the bill is calculated is as follows:
<blockquote>'''Bill Total = Total Lot value x 0.4% + Total Net Object Value x 0.6%'''</blockquote>
*''Total Lot value = The total current value of all build mode objects (depreciated value)''
*''Total Net Object value = the total current value for all buy mode objects (appreciated/depreciated value)''
Things that do not have a value in build/buy mode when selected do not count, in addition items held in personal inventories also will not count.
If a bill is placed in the mailbox before 10:00 am, the mail carrier will come to collect them that day, otherwise, the mail carrier will come the next day. Sims will have four days to pay the bills, therefore the [[repo-man]] will only come on a Saturday or Monday at 10:00 am.
