Off the grid Questions and Comments
The off the grid mode is one I haven't played with or even wanted to play with. Now, however, I have a few ideas I want to put together. So: 1: How do you play off the grid? 2: Is there a way to ...

@joRN1414 The phone still allows for phone calls and texts (unfortunately for me as that breaks my immersion), and Sims can still travel (I've only traveled once and I'm pretty sure I went via the phone and not map view).
You can still make food by buying it, but the type of food you can make is significantly reduced. A lot of meals for whatever reason need to be on the grid to be made (because of THIS reason, I'm thinking that in my market there will be place for Sims to get meals that are cooked on the grid ).
School...I haven't gotten that far yet, and I'm gonna be disheartened when I have to send my children to the school because I think the game makes them go or they will get taken away? Maybe someone else can confirm or deny this.
My main Founders are expecting a baby tho, and as soon as the pregnancy was announced, I put the game on pause as I try to think up how the world will work overall. This particular Sim is really important to me and the town because she was the first Sim made in CAS for the save and she is the one who reached level 10 handiness and therefore unlocked electricity AND in my mind she's named after a goddess in their culture who is said to have made a harp from stardust and strands of her own hair, played a song, and created life. So it's a really big moment and I just want the world to be ready for this baby lol. Technically in the rules of the BACC, schools are unlocked when there are 5 children in the town (and also you can only introduce 1 new Sim to the town via CAS when one Sim has reached level 10 charisma (so the population is growing slowly, and that's why I thought up the idea for the Forum as a place for Sims to meet to raise their Charisma skill), but I don't know when I'll reach that point. So it's kind of a peculiar situation I'm in right now.
Honestly, a lot of the restrictions that come within the game are helping me to think of how to build the world as I work around them.
