    • After enforcing regulations with the Landgraab Power Company, power on a Sim's lot will no longer be unexpectedly shut off when bills are paid in full.

    Fixed in Patch 1.106.148/1.91

@crinrict if you click "Of Course!" the power is not shut off, they say it's just a test and they give you a bill discount, which avoids this issue.

If you click "Prepared?" you receive a stressed buff which lasts for 8 hours and tied to that is a power shutoff action. When the buff runs out, it triggers the power to turn on again. I think you have to be actively playing on the lot where the power is cut for it to restore the power. If you have your sim travel away or you switch households and the buff disappears while you aren't there, I think this might be what causes the issue where the power never returns?

@simvasion Thanks. I've adjusted the option

Could be that's what causing the issue.

    I don't remember whether I left my lot during the 8 hours or not because there is nothing in the game that suggests when exactly the power will be coming back on.  I will say that several days later, the power was still off.  Moving my household off the lot did not fix the issue.  That particular lot where I answered "Prepared?" was permanently a powerless lot.  I tried repairing game files and that did not fix my issue.  I ended up just starting a new save.

      @purplebloon2 I got the same issue. I ended up setting the lot as "off the grid", went to Live mode for a moment, then turned "off the grid" off again, and power was back like normal.
