Oh that would so rock! I've been wanting empty fridges forever. One of my subhoods is a out-in-the-sticks settlement, with everyone growing their own food etc, and while the one guy who has a phone can mailorder things (like fridges), it does not make any sense to me that they come with a 2-week supply of food ... kind of renders the whole farming thing absurd.
What would also rock, in terms of making the game economically harder, would be nuking those bizarre inheritances from nowhere ... but I'm afraid there must be a good reason that there's no hack for that yet? And getting employee payments to work in a logical fashion would also greatly improve things .. maybe it's just my game, but apparently everyone's getting paid twice?

Monique at MTS2 has a couple of different landlord/tenant type mods. I've been using her automatic payment mod to keep my sims poor (and Malcolm Landgraab rich). It allows you to set up an automatic payment between a specific payer and a specific payee, just like paying rent. Perhaps this is the sort of thing you were looking for?
Not really - I guess I could set up someone as a landlord and make him Government, but it doesn't feel right - especially since I try to keep the number of sims down. It might be a solution though.
ETA: There are also numerous hacks for auto-refilling of fridges, as well as one that allows you to buy groceries directly from the Buy catalogue. I believe these are also available from MTS2. Just do searches there for terms like 'fridge' (or check the game mods section).

It's not the refilling of the fridge I'm out to get, it's the price of filling it that I want changed.

Server has eaten my edit? :'(
What I wanted to say -- Warge: I do rents with the abovementioned AutoPayment mod; weekly rent is always 5% of the total lot value on the day they move in. This has worked very well so far, and it's flexible: sims can rent furnished, unfurnished, or even just an empty plot of land + build their own house.
Be careful with the AutoPayment thing though: NEVER take it out of your downloads folder! If you do that + then run the game (doesn't matter whether you open the neighbourhood at all), all your payment data will be lost. This is not documented very well in Monique's thread I think ...

Or you just use a random townie that you don't care about? The mailman? The papergirl? Before AutoPayment and No20K, I always had my sims donate to the mailman ...
Morague:
I've updated my increased dorm billing mod to include increased bills if anyone is intereseted, you can find it at http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,8312.0.html
It increases the overall billing times 3 or 5 as well as actual bills at the dorms.
Warge:
Thanks Morague - that might settle the headache I have with university and economy. Would it be possible to make something similar for the rest of the hoods (or along my guidelines in the OP)?
