Heh, it's pretty necessary when doing a dorm in the main 'hood. First bill my students got was $1250+.
Use "moveobjects on" to delete the mailbox on dorm lots. Dorm lots aren't supposed to get bills, but you have to remove the mailbox manually after changing your lot type to a dorm on a user-created lot. Maxis dorm lots already come sans mailbox.
Um, no, just no. Maxis dorms come with mailboxes, and dorms get bills. Not sure what Maxis dorm's you've ever played, but if your dormies don't pay their bills, they get things repossed.

Huh. Would you look at that. I can't believe I've never noticed the mailboxes. heh
I always delete the mailbox on custom dorms I create or download. I've stayed in them for all four years of college, and never once got the message that bills are overdue or gotten a visit from the repo man. I never use any type of autopay hack, so I'm not sure why my students aren't losing their bunk beds left and right. It doesn't make sense to me that the dorm is supposed to be the cheaper vs. renting a house, but is really more expensive due to bills being generated based on the dormitory's much higher value (as opposed to a single-person home).
This might explain why all my Sims graduate summa cum laude; they have time to study, instead of scrambling to pay for all of their dorm's furnishings.

Well, they don't actually pay for the whole dorm; they pay for whatever fraction of the dorm is theirs. 8 rooms, they pay 1/8th; 6 rooms, 1/6th. I've never seen dorm bills higher than rental house bills.

I don't get bills in dorms. I thought this was an effect of dormbillfix, but it's not in the RTFM. Whatever. I like it. My sims pay tuition, so it's not like they are getting a free ride.
Oh, and the Lot Debugger is a toy! *presses more buttons*
J. M. Pescado:
Dormbillfix fixes an unrelated issue regarding dorm billing, but whether or not you GET them at all is seperate.
