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
  

When it comes to adopting a pet or child off grid (I know it's kind of cheating to do it but...) just go into manage worlds, select the build mode on the lot, remove the Off Grid trait, go in, adopt, go back out and put it back on. It's the only way I could get it to work until they come up with a way to make it work off grid. Hope that helps!! ♡
