What’s being upgraded for the off the grid lot trait in this coming patch? Also why isn’t there a off the grid fridge? 😬😬

Would love to hear the other confirmed stuff also.
I can’t finish a lot of my new builds without the patch and it’s so frustrating lol. But it’ll be nice to be able to “add ice” to some of the fridges.
Yes I’m super excited for the “off the grid” section in build/buy.
Those are only coming with the pack. And how did the fridge work if there isn’t any electricity 🤔😍
There's a vintage style fridge that comes with ROM, and an "ice box" that comes with another pack (I think either ROM or GTW).
Hmm, do they just not say ‘functional off the grid”? Because as I was scrolling I didn’t see any of them say that. But also some of the candle items didn’t say it as well even tho they’re candles which means they should work off grid.
I've found that with OTG, if you have a refrigerator, a stove, and an outdoor grill, you can get a larger variety of dishes.
Hmm. They had the "functional off the grid" message for me. If you give me like ten minutes I'll see if I can take a picture and post it on here (probably more like fifteen because my computer is slow).
I appreciate it. I think my game might be glitches 🤔🤔 My island living ladders are being marked as cc when they shouldnt.
The new bike is with the new pack. And yeah I know the major stuff we’re getting, I’d need to rewatch the stream to see what he said about the new off the grid stuff.
I think??? all refrigerators work OTG whether they're marked that way right now or not. I haven't tried all of them because there's a certain aesthetic I've been going for in my game, but I could have sworn they all worked.
Hmm okay sounds good. I have to wait for the patch to finish everything anyway to I’ll definitely take another look through then.
No you’re fine! Thank you for checking for me. Also watching James Turner’s video and they had the antique fridge in the off the grid lot so I’m assuming it does work off the grid along with the wood stove.
They work, they just limit the amount of dishes you can make which is why it's better to have more ways to get food than less because they'll all give you different recipes available. You can get salad and quick meals from the fridges, but you can make mac and cheese, eggs and bacon with the stove, and you can make grilled foods on the grill. Also sorry to keep jumping in randomly lol.
No you’re great! I haven’t used the lot trait a bunch so I’m still learning. And yeah I put that barrel grill in the kitchen instead of a fridge lol. Their (my Sims) house is a little (a lot) run down so I wanted it to look as rags as possible lol
In a weeks time they will have the option to 'add ice', which I assume means that if you don't keep them cool they might start to not work. Water for ice will be collectable from rivers and ponds iirc.
If you simply want to store food to keep it fresh, the selling tables from CL or JI also work for that.
You’re the best! Thank you so much! The mini fridge will be perfect for my storyline! 🖤 And good to know about the tables I had no idea!
All candles will be converted to Off The Grid, including Base-Games.
Yes! I’m not really doing a full rags to riches but more of a grunge/dirty to modern/industrial type of gameplay. And I’m happy about that because there was a candle chandelier I wanted to use but it didn’t specify it was off the grid so I’m glad they’ll be upgrading them all.
This is a very 'rags to riches' pack but it's also good for those big on crafting since you can make most of your own stuff. People are still suspicious it'll be too easy to make money though, and I don't blame them. Writing is still OPed as heck as a career.
My Sim is saving up for college and I have the “bigger college bills mod” so it’ll take a while to save up.
