So I like to live off the grid every once in awhile. This time I'm getting a bit more into it and adding some aspects of the cottage pack into it to make a self sustaining lot for two runaways. I have NOTHING but off the grid "lights" on. Theyre technically candles. I have a TV and a Radio which I'm about to put in my inventory. My issue is I have a power generator. Not a windmill or anything an actual power generator you put the bio fuel into. Now a generator is supposed to work as long as you have fuel in it. However its not doing anything at all for my lot. I've turned off all utility usage. Everything. I even turned off the candles and my Sims walk around in the dark to try and see what is using up electricity. Im off the grid but that dang notification that my house is generating power surplus then uses it up a minute later keeps flickering all day. I have nothing thats storing electricity on my lot! Like what is going on? I usually use the windmills and all that but since I have the crickets now I thought lets farm those and use the biofuel. Even when the house uses its surplus the generator isnt powering anything. I even placed it inside the house at one point thinking that was the issue. Am I missing something? I would really like to use the power generator this time. Its more affordable. Any suggestions that might make the power generator work?
@cherrylush I's possibly the fridge if you have it.
An open bug report for the fridge is here: Off Grid Fridges drain power, can't turn off utility usage
If this is the issue, your post can be moved to the bug report.
I took the fridge out. Generator still doesnt produce power to anything else. I cant tell from that post what it is. Doesnt seen to be my fridge. My fridge is off the grid but it has the turn off utility option. I took it away. Generator still doesnt produce anything. Even so its a power generator. It should be powering up as long as ic an keep fuel in it. I guess ill just try somethign else if there are no other solutions.
@cherrylush I've merged your post into the current bug report for this issue. Please click the "Me Too" button at the bottom of the first post on the first page of the thread.
I'm not sure there is anything you can do to make the object work if it is bugged.
