Question about Power and Water (Eco Lifestyles)

Yep, you can use them! The game will let you know when they're running low.

EDIT: Oh wait. During NAPs. Never mind :D I'm not sure.

I think you would be able to use them but will receive a fine for not observing the conservation day on your lot.

I dunno, if you are producing and storing 100% of your own....its still conservation.

Could be. I had this NAP affect my sims once, and since they were living in an apartment they couldn't place a solar panel, and they had no fuel for the generator. Eventually they went out for dinner and showered at the community market. It was a change of gameplay, reminded me of the power and water cuts during the communist regime in my country. ? Why use those NAPs if you're going to be self sufficient?

To enforce my self-sufficient ways on the rest of the neighbors, of course. That's how we roll in America.... :trollface:

Nothing says self sufficiency like a gas cannister powered stove. We need one of those in the sims. Not only it runs out occasionally, but there could also be a slight chance for it to explode. It would fit better in an apartment than a grill. Speaking of neighbours, there is not much to do with them, would be lovely if we could go and ask for various ingredients from them, like a cup of sugar, or some eggs, or get a milk subscription.

I'd LOVE it if we could go and ask the neighbors for a cup of sugar or some eggs!

For that gas canister powered stove, doesn't that already exist in the game? I know I can add an upgrade to my current stove that makes it require biofuel rather than running off the power grid. I haven't done the upgrade (yet) but I assumed that it turned the stove into one powered, basically, by biofuel canisters.
It's an upgrade from the Eco Living pack, I am pretty sure. That's a new pack for me (I got that pack, plus cottage living and snow escape all for christmas).
