Huge power losses living off the grid with nealy nothing that could drain this.
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Nederlands
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? Latest
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? No clue. I have 2 off the grid lots. Both identical as I started over with a new family. So both houses of the two families are the same.
What happens when the bug occurs? Off the grid living has massive power drains of minus 28. While there is nothing of power on the beside a fridge a laptop, a few candles. and one light in the bathroom. When I made the house on my first family. There is no problem. I actually have a surplus of 8+ power in the harbor. ( I even have 56 ) in storage. However... When I copied the house and put it on Sulani with another family... There is no way I can generate power. It goes +4 ... and as soon I got 1 storage it goes minus 28. and lose instantly all storage. While as said... both houses are identical and I only have the issue on the latter one.

- @simvasion Right so I might have discovered the "issue" here. Geothermal lot trait. Apparently I have it on my harbor lot but not on my sulani lot. And it really seems to make the difference here. I did what u asked. Put off the grind and on. With geothermal there is a surplus of what I would expect. With no geothermal on both lots. They go deep in the red while still only having one fridge. In my opinion it still does not make sense. But having geothermal on the sulani lot now makes me able to make and store power again.
However... now that I " fixed" this. I still strongly disagree with how power works. There is no way one fridge needs 10 sun panels or 4 power generators to stay equal on usages --> generated. My inreallife house has 6 sunpanels and most days we actaully stay equal or even sell back to the power company on fair days. The power usage of items or generation from the sunpanels is actually very poorly. They need to atleast double if not triple the generation...The only way power generating seems fair is with the geothermal lot trait. Anyways...But what I say now is something else and lingers from my original post. and would be feedback instead.
Thank you anyway. I will continue to test obviously with the geothermal trait.
