Weird. Batteries exist lol

Right? That's what I was thinking, too. Then again, the last I heard the wash bucket for laundry doesn't work either since you have to refill it with water. I don't know what EA is thinking half the time lol

Yeah the washbucket threw me for a loop, too. Back in the 18th century my family had to lug buckets of water taken from the nearby creek or river, allow it to set for a certain amount of time (mostly overnight) to let the stuff settle and then boil it before putting the homemade lye soap into it. Suffice it to say laundry was a full day affair! They also had irons, that surprised me. Box irons, where hot coals were placed into the box and from there you ironed the clothes. Yikes.

So, why can't our Sims refill their buckets, again? face/palm.

Yes the earbuds work off the grid. But keep it quiet so they don't "fix it" in a patch.

So does the 'cell-phone', mobile-phone' (whatever you wanna call it). lol

@Sigzy05 I forgot about the headphones, I'll have to try that.

@Admiral8Q In build mode, I hovered over an item that DOES work off the grid but it said nothing in the description about it.

@invisiblgirl Maybe I was just unlucky and hovered over items that aren't noted, then. And yeah, I can't find any cc for it, either!

@GalacticGal Hmm, I never thoughts about how they did it back then... that's really interesting to think about. I never would have guessed they had irons, that's crazy.

@JACKIEJOY I think as long as CallMe Kevin doesn't mention it, we should be good xD every time he features something in his videos it gets patched lol

I thought I'd tried the earbuds, and they didn't work for my Sim (because they were 'off the grid'). But, I used the BB cheat to get them - maybe if they accepted them when offered, they would work.

"Island Living" has quite a few off-grid items. I actually bought the "Outdoor Living" pack to compliment that since it has many off-grid items also. :)
