No Bills At Dorms
gynarchy:
I'm not exactly sure when this started but my Sims no longer receive bills while they are living in dormitories. The mail carrier arrives as usual, walks to the front of the mailbox, and then immediately walks back to the sidewalk to do her little idle thing before leaving. I thought it might be the mailbox cover so I tried both the original and the awesome versions and still nothing. I cleared everything out of the ordinary on the lot debugger and made sure there was no invalid mail with TJ's college adjuster. I even moved my Sims to a new dorm, thinking it was just something wonky on the old lot but still no bills. The mail gets delivered without issue at the campus Greek houses and back in the regular neighborhood. I have all EPs/SPs and HCDU shows nothing out of the ordinary. No errors occur so there is no log to share.
Lord Darcy:
AFAIR, this happens when all dorm residents were born ingame. Move one CAS YA into the dorm, and the bill will arrive as usual.
gynarchy:
Fascinating, that never would have occurred to me. Thanks for the tip!

Actually, I've had b.i.g. sims get dorm bills, but only if I move them into a brand-new, never-played-before dorm. If you keep reusing the same dorms over and over, the objects in them eventually depreciated to nothing, so there's no bill for them. I discovered this when I got tired of seeing the same dorms over and over generation after generation and went on a hunt for new pre-made dorms.
gynarchy:
I reused a dorm once but after having one of those mysterious "OMG! Scratchy icon thought bubble! Eek!" spots now I always bulldoze the dorm when my Sims leave and replace it with a new copy from the lot bin. I have been using this dorm without a problem since my founder started Uni, but when the bills stopped coming I downloaded a couple more to see if it was just that one lot.
ETA: Problem solved with the addition of a new CAS dormie, just as Lord Darcy suggested. Thanks again!
