Sorry, I didn’t understand the heater idea. ?
Water heaters/boilers could come in three models: tankless, tanked and large basement one and could trigger new interactions, moodlets and other stuff with the use of appliances and plumbing items that requires hot water at the same time, like sinks, washing machines, showers and others.
For example, if a sim flush the toilet while another one is taking a shower, there could be consecuences. Or Sims could have a bad shower if another Sim is using the washing machine or washing the dishes due the low pressure or not desired water temperature. To fix that, Sims must upgrade their heaters with better parts, to avoid overheated showers or no hot water at all, depending of how much appliances or plumbing items there could be in the lot. This gameplay could not affect communitary lots. Only residentials and can be deactivated like the dust gameplay.
Also, it could include decorative only utilities items like water meter, electricity meter, gas meter, propane/gas tanks and others clutter.
Finally, if Eco Lifestyle is installed, Sims could use the solar panel to heat water.
