To buy a mailbox in The Sims 4, go to Build & Buy Mode, and type in “miscellaneous appliances“. Select your mailbox, place it on your lot, and go to Live Mode to use it.
Mailboxes are available under Miscellaneous Appliances in The Sims 4. They are under the same category as trash bins.
You can use mailboxes to pay your bills or sell books if your Sim is a writer.
You can also use your mailbox to check the latest neighborhood stories. Simply click on the mailbox and select Check Recent Neighborhood Stories.
The best part is that the Neighborhood Stories system allows you to influence upcoming major life decisions of Neighbor Sims.
The mailman couldn’t reach the mailbox
The Sims 4 may sometimes display a confusing notification that says the mail carrier could not reach your mailbox.
Most of the time, this is a simple glitch. The mailman usually delivers the mail without any problems. Feel free to ignore these notifications.
Click on your mailbox and pay your bills normally.
I’ve received this annoying notification countless times. Every time I clicked on my mailbox, the mail was there and I was able to pay my bills without any problems.
Speaking of mailboxes, there’s one question that’s been bugging many Simmers for a long time: “Can you work as a mail carrier in The Sims 4?”
Can my Sim be a mail carrier in Sims 4?
Your Sim cannot be a mail carrier in The Sims 4 base game. This task is reserved only for Service Sims. As a quick reminder, mail carriers deliver your bills every Monday or Tuesday.
If you really want your Sim to become a mail carrier in The Sims 4, you can use mods. For example, you can get the Postal Service Career mod and work as a mail carrier.
You get to open mailboxes and deliver letters and bills all day long.
And now you know.
