Fridges using ice that are Off the Grid will no longer drain power.
Fixed in Patch 1.105.297/1.87
Please create a new thread if you're still experiencing this issue,
I think it's an oversight, the off-the-grid fridge should not start draining power just because you generate some. It would be nice to have a "disable utility usage" for the fridge, like we have for toilets, bathtubs, sinks...It consumes power even when at 100% ice. It drains power by default instead of only when out of ice.
It was annoying before but now after cottage living with so many players doing off-the-grid games it's even more important to release a fix for this, I think.
I saved my game, exited Sims 4, and returned. The fridge and stove now offer the ability to turn off utility use. HOWEVER I still have power drain. I am eliminating my different candles in turn to figure out if any of them are the issue, because I am running out of options.
