Question about this electricity box thingy

I have a question about this electricity box thingy from 19 culpepper:

I like the occasional power cuts it causes as it makes playing this lot more interesting. Can I place this item in build mode on other lots? I can't find it in the build/buy catalogue, so I'm guessing I'd need cheats to locate it?

Also if I do place it on a lot will it cause power cuts as it does in 19 culpepper?

    No, there isn't. Right now, only mouse holes can be put on other lots to have the problems on there if you have Cats and Dogs.
    However, there is a mod that puts the Needs TLC lot trait's objects to be put on the other lots, allowing these problems happen on there.
    I'll look for the mod and then give you that link. Be right back!

    It provides the objects that create the needs tlc effects: inside pipes, utility box, mouse holes, roach holes and random bad smell without needing the needs tlc trait unlocked, plus they're moveable/deleteable.

    Thanks! I couldn't have found it without your help though, as the link you included started off my search, so thank you. :)

    Check buydebug for the pipes. I don't know if they work on lots other than on 19 Culpepper, but worth a try.

    Open cheat bar
    1. testingcheats on
    2. bb.showhiddenobjects
    3. check pull down menu at far right above sim info.
    4. click buydebug
    5. type in electrical box


    Hi :)
    I did try that initially, besides several other search terms. Turns out the needs tlc objects are hidden even from the debug catalogue. Thank you for the suggestion though. :)
