[FIXED] [ECO] Power turned off due to Squirrel warning and never turned back on

@jmliew the way the game shuts off power is to flip a setting on the mailbox that says that this lot has no power. That's why when you delete the mailbox, you restore power. You can't do this in apartments though, as they have fixed mailboxes.

Like I said in a previous post, the trigger to restore power is when the stressed buff on your sim expires, it has a trigger on it to flip the mailbox back to "power on" mode. But I suspect if you've travelled off the lot with that sim, or they're not present when it expires, or you switched to another household completely, that's when you get permanently stuck - if the sim with the buff wasn't there on the same lot with the mailbox for the trigger to fire when it expires.

If you want to restore power, there's a cheat code that will do it –

loot.apply_to_sim loot_Utilities_PowerShutoff_False

Not sure if you need to have TwistedMexi's All Cheats mod installed to use it though, because it could be one of the cheats that needs that mod to work.
