Rent and bills are notoriously high in The Sims 4. If your Sim is not making loads of money, paying the bills is a struggle in itself.
To lower your bills in The Sims 4, the first thing you need to do is remove expensive items from your household inventory.
Having lots of items in your inventory will increase your bills. The more expensive your items, the higher your bills will be.
If you manage to reduce the value of your lot by getting rid of unnecessary household inventory, you’re on the right track.
Well, if your Sim is a hoarder, get ready to shell out tens of thousands of Simoleons on rent and bills.
If you have MCCC installed, having the child support setting enabled will also increase your expenses.
Try to unlock the Frugal trait to lower your bills. The effect stacks, which means that the more Sims share this trait, the lower your bills are.
If you own Eco-Lifestyle, there’s an expensive roof pattern that can skyrocket your rent and bills. Use a different roof pattern and you should notice an important change on your bills.
If you have Get Famous installed, and you have a safe with a lot of money in your household this will increase your bills. Get rid of it.
Well, if your Sims are in a desperate situation and they can’t afford to pay the rent and bills, you can use the motherlode cheat to top up your household funds instantly.
If you don’t like the idea of using cheats, starting a side-hustle is an excellent way to make some extra Simoleons.
If you fail to pay your bills, electricity will be cut off within 48 hours. The water supply will be cut off after 96 hours.
