Even without the feature, this is such an incredibly useful mod. Thank you so much, Monique! I love the little touches of realism you add to the game.

Thanks for this idea. I uploaded new version.

Pls. see my journal for my hacks compatibility. Thanks.

Thank you, monique! All of your economic and business mods are top notch. The game wouldn't be the same without your hacked computer, landlord mod, and now your Automatic Payment mod.

Amazing work. Thank you kindly!

Excellent.
Now my Kings can truely become banks. I'll have other wealthy Sims lone money to the king and he will in turn lone money to the poor. At a higher rate ofcourse.

Your mods are the best. I simply cannot play without them.

Keep up th great Work.

Hi Monique

I have been using your Child Support hack with one of my families, and so far, so good. Great utility.

I bought OFB in part so that I could download and play your hacks. I got the game yesterday, and downloading your hacks was on the top of my priority list. I love finance hacks, and I love the realism it adds to the game.

To my chagrin, however, the APM will not load in to my download folder. I get an error message saying all of the files are either damaged or not formatted correctly. Can anyone help me out here, please? I really would like to use this hack.

This mod does not work in my game. It says the files are corrupted or formatted incorrectly.

Help, please? I would LOVE to play with this mod

This mod is excellent! Would you be able to increase the loan limits to 200,000? I'd love to use this to set up mortgages.

Does anyone know how well these and Monique's other mods work with Free Time, please? I'm waiting to get Open for Business so I can't try them myself yet unfortunately, but they look so good! I'd love to use them.

I have been using this mod with FT and have no problems. I hope it will continue to work with AL...

I've always wanted to use this mod, and I've seen people are very satisfied with it, but still, when I tried it (more than once!) I found that it takes money TWICE instead of just once. Namely, at 3am at payer's house it deducts and instantly add that sum to the payer's funds (I checked), but then when I play payee's house it happens once more: the sum gets deducted from the payer's funds and added again to the payee's funds. So insted of paying just say $100 my payer sim pays $200 in single rotation (I play my hood in rotation, so lots are time-synched). Obviously, this effect is not wanted in a hood where $100 sometimes means the difference between life and death.

Am I truly the only one to ever notice this? Am I doing something wrong?! I followed Monique's instructions to the letter every time I tried this.

Help, anyone?

If that's what happens, no problem! Just half what your sims are paying! So then when you have played both lots, it will take $200 each week, though your sim is only scheduled to pay $100.

Anyone know if this mod is still working with AL?

This mod is so useful, but it takes me ages to set up the amount I want. I don't mean to be whiny, but it would be great if the amount menu was a slider instead of a pie menu.

I welcome requests - PM me!

I just downloaded this mod because I think it's a cool idea to have. Unfortunately when I send a sim to set up a payment, my game crashes when it's trying to load the friends. I'm not sure if my comp can handle it or it's not compatible with a certain EP I have. I have all ep's and all stuff packs (except for family fun stuff and glamorous life) All EP's are installed. I want to play with this mod sooo bad but it's not working for me does anyone know what may be causing my game to crash. I'm also wondering if it is conflicting with other mods/hacks I have in my game.

I have downloaded this mod and it seems to work in respect to making the payments but it is not registering that the payment is for my sims rent. I have set the payee to Roger Boyle, who is the NPC that my sim signed the tenancy agreement with, and I have set the day to Monday and the amount to the nearest rounded amount for the rent. Come Monday @ 3am the payment is made. Come Tuesday and Roger Boyle is saying that the rent is late and I have to them click on the letterbox and pay the rent, effectively paying him twice.
