There are a couple of ways to ensure bills are paid automatically. Story Progression and Story Progression Money is needed. However the power and water will not work until the household generate their own utilities, which means no utility bills. In Patch 95, bills get an update where players can see a more detailed view of their weekly bills, as well as be able to see current bill status before needing to pay.
Players can now manage power and water storage. This will increase and decrease the bills needed to pay. This feature can be disabled in the gameplay option menu. With City Living , Sims residing in apartments and penthouses will have to pay rent, although the rent is included in the bill and is not delivered separately, unlike The Sims 2: Apartment Life.
With Discover University , Sims partaking in a degree at University will have to pay student loans, if the loans aren't paid of in time, the repo-man will come to collect a random item of similar value to the loans. Bills start out as a white color, then change to yellow, then orange, then eventually red. After several days of non-payment, a notification will appear warning the player of the delinquency. In The Sims 3 , the player is given the option to pay the bills immediately from the notification.
If the bills are not paid before the end of that day, the bills will explode and a repo-man will arrive on the lot and repossess items roughly equal in value to the debt owed and in some cases more.
In The Sims 2 , a visit from the repo-man will incur a bad memory on members of the household involved. The repo-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 amount that was due. 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. The disconnection of utilities will also extend to retail and restaurant lots owned by the household. Prior to patch 95 , no repo-man will come, unlike previous games, therefore the shutting off of utilities is the most serious consequence.
However, patch 95 added the repo-man to The Sims 4 - should bills remain unpaid 48 hours after shutting off water supplies, repo-men will come to the house and repossess items, like previous games. If the Sims live in an apartment , failure to pay the bills may result in the landlord refusing to look at problems with the apartment.
