Keep losing 30k simoleons

I've never had this problem before but it started happening about 2 days ago. My sims family will lose about 30k simoleons maybe once a sim day and I have no idea what for. I heard that it might be for paintings (the Butler may paint I guess) so I got rid of the easels but it still happens. I've been monitoring every sim closely and I cant see what is causing this. The only mods I have are nraas mods (SP, mastercontroller, error trap, etc) If anyone has any clue, this would help me a lot.

If another sim in town has purchased the lot out from under your sims, then they no longer own it and are paying rent to the real owner instead. But this is a highly obscene amount of rent and again is only a function of the SP Money add-on module.
On the residential lot or a sim who lives there,
NRass > SP > Household Options > Accounting
If the household has been in existence for a long time and the Accounting Report has too much older data on it, you can clear it this way and then play for a sim day or two and see what the new one says.
NRaas > SP > Household Options > Clear Accounting
And for a spotcheck on what it should cost them to live where they are, with MasterController on the lot or a sim who lives there
NRaas > MC > Household > Status

Through the accounting option, I saw that these 30k fees fell into "School Fees" which I'm guessing is part of the education/career mod I got from nraas but now I'm not sure why the fees are so much. I have 2 teens, one in the music school and the other in the science school. Does anyone know if it's supposed to be this expensive and charge you this often?
I use the NRaas Careers mod and its School module too. I always enroll my teen sims in the private schools and have never been charged a fee. I think the fee setting is in NRaas StoryProgression (and requires the StoryProgression Careers module); the default is 0 simoleons. 30k about once a day for private schools doesn't sound right at all. I'm interested to see what igazor says. You can also use SP to set the specialized school rabbit holes to be public schools. There isn't a fee option for public schools (obviously).
The fee setting (going by memory and the SP interactions page):
NRaas>StoryProgression>General Options>Options: Careers>Options: Schools>Private School Fee
@jordand , That's the NRaas Careers mod with its Schools module.
Using the option @TreyNutz mentions, check
NRaas > SP > General Options > Options:Careers > Options:Schools > Private School Fee > 0 (or some very small amount since it keeps getting deducted per student daily)
Also check
NRaas > SP > General Options > Options:Careers > Options:Schools > School Fee:By School > 0 (this is supposed to allow for additional fees for particular private schools intended to be more exclusive than others; if the Private School Fee above is 0 then this option won't show)
(SP Career add-on module required)
If you don't have the SP Career add-on module then you won't have the ability to see or change these, but clearly something is misfiring with the fees here somehow.

Those aren't a mod. They're from Ambitions or Generations, one of the two. Pretty sure it's Ambitions though. They're special "rabbit hole" schools where the kid goes off, and doesn't return until they graduate as a young adult (I think, haven't had a kid return yet). By sending the kid to one of these schools they WILL get specific traits, such as Artistic (and snob).
You are talking about something different. The specialized schools the OP is referring to are indeed from a mod. I linked to the mods above. With the NRaas Careers mod + Schools module you can enroll teens into "private" schools at the science building, theater, restaurant, business and military rabbit holes. They function much like the EA school rabbit hole. Teens live at home, have homework to do, can attend after school activities, attend prom. The hours are shorter (10 am to 2 pm) and each school has work tones focusing on appropriate skills. The mod also provides 2 private schools for children as well as the option of home schooling children and teens.
What you are describing are boarding schools. Those came with Generations. You can enroll children and teens and they leave the map. They don't live at home and don't attend school at a rabbit hale. You don't manage them at all until you decide to bring them home. That's the whole point of boarding schools. The kids go away and you don't have to play them. IIRC there are 3 options and depending on how long the child is enrolled I think they can get certain traits and skills. I don't use boarding schools anymore. I've read too many posts from people who have had problem with them. Plus, I like playing the kids.
The nice thing about using the Careers mod to enroll my teens into rabbit hole "private" schools is that this reduces crowding at the school rabbit hole a little bit, and the hours are different enough that it helps when playing large families, which I tend to do a lot.
@Faerie197 - It is perfectly okay to not be very familiar with NRaas mods. But the player did say she was using our modded schools and hence the trouble with tuition being too high and the assistance we are trying to provide here. You might want to check out more of what these mods can do, besides erroneously overcharging parents I mean, even if you aren't going to be using them in your own game. Many of them are very interesting. Not that I'm biased or anything.

They don't. I also don't think the boarding schools are associated with any specific rabbit hole. The Generations boarding school names are listed here: http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Boarding_school#List_of_Boarding_Schools
I don't remember if the NRaas Careers mod private schools have names more specific than what's listed on the Schools module page; I don't think so:
http://nraas.wikispaces.com/Careers+School+Phase+Nine
The only similarities are that both have an art school and a military school option.
They are both called arts schools generically because arts and music are what they specialize in teaching there.

I completely agree with you. I don't understand sending your sim kids to boarding school at all. Why have them if you're not going to play them?
Now, real life kids, heck yes, send them away!!
I've always played on low free will, so there was no leaving them alone and letting them choose their own activities. Recently I've started playing on high free will, and selectively turning it on and off for individual family members with NRaas Master Controller, and that does work better. But large families are even worse on high free will, because chaos is stressful for me, and large numbers of sims on high free will definitely makes things chaotic.
