I have a lot I've popped the off the grid trait on the lot I'm making for Island Living and I'm trying to figure out what I can and can't use. The oil lamps I had out (basegame) need electricity, so I've swapped them out for the Dine Out candles in the glass domes. Are there any other items that are off the grid friendly, and are they marked in any way in the catalogue?

Edit: Here's a place Maxis is gathering reports of lamps that ought to work off the grid but don't: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-A-JA-Lights-not-working-with-Off-the-Grid-lot-trait/m-p/7956000#M92032

I really wanted my off the grid sims to wash laundry by hand.
But the cheapest fridge, oven, shower, toilet and sink work on the lot. Also this old fashioned looking items.
Sounds like an oversight. Same as people being unable to clean toilets on off the grid lots 🤮
Race Against the Clock: Can your elder sim turn back the clock before their time runs out?
That seems odd to me. Taking a bath is more off the grid than taking a shower, IMO.
And this seems even stranger! I would definitely have assumed that the washtub and clothing line would fit perfectly with off the grid.
Noo!! I want my off-grid-sims to toil with doing laundry by hand. If had I to do that each and every summer vacation spent in a tent on the beach then my sims will do it too when they are beach bums.
Hope they will patch it 🙂
I think that is one of the ones people have reported as should be working but isn’t.
I am not quite sure about that. The sim gets a moodlet (tense) for 2 hours that says something like "tense because if dirty water that spoils the clothes (because off the grid lot trait)" or something. I will take a look and post a pic of it, give me one sec.
Oki, thank you.

Unrelated, that's from washing hands. It even says so in the tooltip. I haven't used the washtub yet and I got that moodlet.
Actually you do get that moodlet from washing your clothes in the washtub.
