    • 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

I am having this issue too. It only seems to affect apartments and it is tied to the prank calls added to the game with Eco, not to NAPs or not paying the bills. You get a call claiming the Landgraab power company is going to shut off your power due to squirrels. If you click the wrong option your power is turned off. It is supposed to last 48 hours, but the power never comes back on. If you exit the game and come back in, the power is restored, but only temporarily. If your Sims leave the lot and come back, the power is gone again.

I have even tried moving my Sims out, bulldozing the apartment and restoring it with a save from the gallery, but the power is gone when they move back in.

This just happened to me. My sims are in a house not apartment. 😟 I hope this isn't bugged on my end, I'm stating to like the house they live in.

    @Stephyy333 Merge the thread to the bug report.

    Did you also have the squirrel message ? There's a few tips here how to get your power back.

      I had this issue as well.  It was diving me crazy as I also have Dust the Bust kit and had several fires as a result of having no power to operate my vacuum!  It took a few days to realize there was a bug.  Thank you for the suggestion of deleting the mailbox.  After playing for several days and leaving the house, everything is back to normal.  I'm just not answering the phone anymore :/
