    • 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?

Is there a cheat code to add the stressed buff?

    I am also stuck in that no power returning loop.  When I open my game, i have power.  When i visit another lot and return, no power.  If I save and then reload, power is back.  At least until I go visit someone again.

      I've only gotten this popup on off-the-grid lots, at which point I laugh maniacally and say, "Nancy, I'm off the grid, shut off my power any time!"  IOW "Of course." 

      Note to self:  Only answer "Of course" whether on the grid or off.

      This was my experience as well. Frustrating to always have to exit the game just to get power back.
