Mostly Off The Grid Frustration

Hello,

I've been playing (or trying to play) with off the grid since Island living came out and I've encountered a few things that are raising frustration to near the point of wanting walking away. It was a feature I was really looking forward to.

• Can't clean toilets or sinks
  
• Can't change the water for the wash-bin
  
• Can't wash toddler in any off-the-grid functioning bathtubs; nor does he gain any hygiene for playing in the ocean (not sure if they are also supposed to)
  
• Off-the-grid friendly lights are not labelled (not sure if this was intentional)
  
• (from Key Point lot) anti-environmentalists are in my queue from half the island away to argue with me, then stay on my lot as an invited guest (when they were not...)
  
• Some routing issues in the island cleanup, more-so with volcanic waste
  
• I'm also not sure if it's intentional that if you live off-the-grid, that there is no feasible way to adopt a child or a pet
  
• Oh, and sometimes fish traps disappear when you attempt to place them in-world. Sometimes they reappear if you exit the save, then re-load
  
• I also got some bugs with "fire" on my lot. I had a campfire, and nothing caught fire. Literal nothing, the tile next to it, caught fire and no sim could route to put it out. I had to wait until it died out completely from burning absolutely nothing.
  
• Also for the "angling ace" aspiration, the "fish at 3 different locations" - it doesn't count any fishing places in Sulani
  

In new patch the off the grid fixes are:

Multiple updates for the Off the Grid lot trait:

A new search term was added to Buy Mode, “Off the Grid”, to make finding valid items in the catalog easier.
Fish can now be added to Fish Bowls.
