Q3 2019 - Mod Quarterly Updates - SNB-Bills Add-On 0.1 (ALPHA)

I'm super excited to release the first version of this addition to the SNB mod, Bills. This addition is the initial project offering from our newest Developer, Victor Andrade. I hope you like this addition. We plan to add more features to this soon!

So what is SNB-Bills? 

This small add-on will revamp EA’s billing system by splitting out Water & Sewer, Electricity, Trash and Property Taxes. Each bill creates an adverse effect if not paid.

Can I install this mod and only use it for certain families or saves?

Yes. This Bills Add-On needs to be manually activated. Bills will produce and be paid as normal if not activated. 

Do I need to have SNB installed in order to use this addition?

No. The Bills Add-On was initially created as a stand alone addition. 

What other features are you looking to add to the addition?

We have a few additions coming soon, which are listed below. However, if there's great interest in this and Patron requests for certain features to be added we will look into adding more in the future.
