Is it possible to modify this mod so that it will automatically pay the bills?

How about keeping it once per week but adding an increase into the amount
paid to make up for only paying bills once a week?

It was a bit annoying to receive approx 3 bills per week.


To Vashi: This is the reason I did this mod: so to make the game more realistic and less annoying: Like in real life, where we pay the bills only once per month/year.

To Pontiac76: Sadly there is no automatic system in the game. But at least the game notifies you. In the notification box will give you the option "Pay bills now" which allows you pay the Bills instantly WITHOUT sending the sims to Mailbox.

To Rebeldawg: EXCELLENT QUESTION!!!
But, sadly, this is not possible.
The game only can determinate the size of bills you will pay. This is determinated by the size of your lot, size of your home and this cannot be modified.

Have fun my friends!!!

Yes, as long as it does not modifies the days the Bills are coming.

My mod modifies only the day the bills are coming to your house.

Well I don't know if anyone else had this problem but I was testing out some clothing things and such and forgot to pay my bills. I never got the message that they were late do you want to pay now I just got the message that the repo man was coming. I don't have any other mods that affect the bills. Maybe it only happens occasionally depending on what else is happening in game I will test it out more and see what's up with that.

Cool mod, pity you can't increase the bill amount to make up for once a week charge. One thought - can you possibly do 7 versions of this mod, one for each day? Personally I would like to pay my bills on a Friday.

@ Harag:

Excellent news! I finally found how to correct the Bill cost size and I also have released all the 7 days so you the players can choose which day you like the bills to come in your mailbox!

Have fun! :D

I finally have managed to FIX (DOUBLE) the Bill cost!


Please re-download the mod!!!

Info of fixes:
Now the Bills have the same total cost per week as without the mod!. Paying less times per week does not means you pay less money per week!!! So this mod can't be considered as Money cheating anymore!

---------------------

Default Game: Monday + Thursday = 1.3% Bills + 1.3% Bills = 2.6% total Bill Cost per week.

With the Mod: Choose a day you like = 2.6% Bills, so its 2.6% total Bill Cost per week - the same as in default game!

Enjoy!

Hmm I don't know what's up with that family but that was the only time I had the issue. I know the message did not show up but it has ever since then. Perhaps something buggy happened in game because of something a particular family member was doing atm. I have no clue.

@ ScorpioMaurus: I have asked some friends here, all confirmed that the message always appears for them. However. it should be noted that the message appears only for a short time, so it can be easily missed.

I haven't updated my game from the base version (don't ask), and whenever I run this mod, it crashes my game within 5 seconds on the first load screen. I have 198 mod files for my game and this is the only one that messes it up. What's the issue?
