    As others have said, it's not a bug. The tooltip is just confusing, but it works the same way as the other upgrades in the game. The tooltip is telling you how many parts you're missing. So if it says 2 parts, you're still missing 2 parts.

I'm having the same problem.

I have 5 eco upgrade parts, all made on the fabricator. When I click on my wind turbine it tells me I need 4 or 2 to do the upgrade and that I don't have enough parts.

I've also had a terrible problem with lightening strikes. My Sim is living off grid and one night the lightening took out her turbine, recycling machine and her candle making desk. She didn't have enough money to replace them all. The wind turbine breaks every couple of days and has been struck by lightening three times already. Only been playing the game a few hours too.

Living off grid is proving very difficult without much money. My Sim is constantly miserable and tense. Poor thing :-/

That means you need 4 more upgrade parts or 2 more upgrade parts.  This is not a bug in the game.  If you make 4 more upgrade parts, you should be able to do both upgrades.

@Nindigo79 Can you post a screenshot of your inventory and the upgrade options you are trying to complete?  The OP does not have a bug.  The game is working as intended.  He doesn't have enough upgrade parts.

This is by design in the game.  The OP needs 4 upgrade parts to complete the upgrade.  If you look at their picture, in their inventory they only have 2 upgrade parts.  The game text indicates they need 2 more parts to complete the upgrade.  I had all 4 parts in my inventory and I had no issue with the same upgrade.

    Yeah, I realised this after I'd posted the message on here.

    I'd just been a little confused when first trying to upgrade. 

    Can't believe how many upgrade parts you need for the eco upgrades, it's so many!!! 😞
