You do not have Power Conservation enacted. Did you have it enacted at some point? Just to make sure these are the enacted NAPS in your neighborhood? Each neighborhood have their own set of NAPs if NPC voting is enabled (default).
I don't remember seeing the Power Conservation ever enacted. Maybe it was when my lights first turned off the very first time when I got that warning from the landgraabs, but that doesn't explain why it's happening now. I just took this screenshot today. At the moment the lights actually were on, but only because I just started the game back up. I went back to work, after I took that screenshot, and the lights were off with no indication from the game as to why @jpkarlsen.
Also, it is not just my apartment; my neighbors' apartment also has no power. Here is a screenshot that says that the Landgrabs are responsible. It has to be a glitch, a really bad one that doesn't allow me to use a lot of my household items.
Another thing that would cause the power to go off is if you forget to pay the bill but then after a couple days the Repo man would come by to take some of your things to pay for the bill.
Yes, this is a bug/glitch when the Landgrab power is always shut off. For me it happens at an apartment in Green Harbor. I haven't found a permanent fix, and still figuring out what triggers it (maybe has to do with leaving the lot), but here are some things to try, that temporarily at least, worked for me:
1. Go to Manage Worlds and then back to household.
2. Try moving out Sim and moving them back in.
3. Save and exit game, and then start again.
Each of these worked for me but only temporarily. I don't know if one works better or for longer. I'm going to permanently move my Sim out of the apartment soon though.
having the same issues, thanks for sharing these tips.
They're working for a little while but then it goes back to the glitch. we're you able to fix yours eventually?
I don't think people are understanding that it does not have anything to do with Eco or paying the bills. The same thing is currently happening to me ! My bills are paid and I do not have that Power conservation thing. The landgraabs turned off my power after saying a squirrel messed up everything and asked if I was prepared I clicked "prepared?" and then my lights went off and has been going off and on ever since. I even put solar panels on top of my house and that doesn't even work. So I definitely think it's a glitch in the game and I play on PS4.
Thank you for clarifying to people! I have the same problem. It does not seem to have to do with paying bills or the NAPs.
For me it started with the phone call from Landgrab asking if I was prepared, and I selected "Prepared?"
Then the power was cut off immediately. My Sim lives in an apartment in Green Harbor. It did not come back on after several Sims days. I knew something was weird and found a thread on Reddit mentioned try exiting the game and restarting, and that worked. I played normal for a while. Then a couple days later, today, I'm playing again my same household. My Sim wakes up and the power is cut out again, due to Landgrab (as another simmer posted a screenshot, you can see this in the pop-up menu when you try to do something that requires power).
I agree, I think there is a bug or something. It'd be good to understand what triggers the landgrab power cut offs. I'm mean, how many "squirrels" can they have?
