Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.108.349.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions, game packs, and stuff packs, just some kits that I don't own.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Make an off-the-grid house in sulani and install a turbine to power a vacuum cleaner. Everything is set to not use the power grid.
What happens when the bug occurs? I'm trying to play an off-the-grid house in Sulani and the dust appeared in the house. So I did some research and found that the only way to clean it up, is to have some kind of generator to power a vacuum. I did that, but I still can't do it. I own an off-the-grid fridge, toilet, sink, shower and grill. They're all set to not use the utilities, I'm collecting water and filling the fridge with ice. The bills info page tells me I will generate about 8 power in a day, then I get a message to say I have power, followed by a message saying my lot is draining the power and its all gone again. I have nothing using power, I just want it to power a vacuum, but it comes, then its gone in the same second.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to store the power that the roof turbine is generating and then use it to power a vacuum.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
I'm trying to play off the grid in sulani, but I want to generate enough power to use a vacuum. I have every appliance and utility set to not use the grid power, and a turbine on the roof to generate a small amount. I have it set to store the power, and I receive some, but its drained away in the same second. There is nothing that should be using it, I don't even own the vacuum yet. I get the message saying I'm generating surplus energy and then the message saying I've drained it all, both at the same time.

Do you have it set to sell excess power?

@jpkarlsen No, I have it set to store the power, I mentioned that.

I think it could be related to this other bug.
The only advice I can give you is to set the lot trait Geothermal, that generates a power surplus to your house, maybe it can help.
