Why can’t we make cakes off the grid?

I truly don’t understand why we’re only allowed to cook a few meals off the grid. I’m tired of my sims being sad that they didn’t get a cake on their birthday.

You’re supposed to be able to upgrade your off the grid stove & fridge with a fuel cell and fuel it with either bits and pieces from the recycling machine or with biofuel from the bug farms and cook all of your normal recipes as long as they’re fueled up enough but it’s not working. You can try placing generators you will need to fuel those up too but if you place enough of them you can cook normal stuff otg. You can also try solar panels and turbines but make sure you’re storing your surplus energy not selling it, because you will have to wait until you have enough stored energy to operate your stove.
