[NEEDS SAVES] [ECO] Classic Wind Turbine break too often

[ Edited ]
★★ Apprentice

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.63.134.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game
What happens when the bug occurs? the Classic Wind Turbine - Ground breaks, sparks and no longer works ... they break maybe once or twice a week - I have a dozen on my lot and repairing/replacing is becoming a full time task ...
What do you expect to see? Maybe have them NOT break as often? Maybe have it where when you upgrade it to 'Self Lubricating Gearbox' (the 'never breaks' upgrade) it stops breaking?
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Installed Eco Living

All 12+ of my Wind Turbines are upgraded with the 'Self-Lubricating Gearbox' upgrade which reads "Adds a self-lubricating Gearbox to the Wind Turbine that ensures it never breaks".

Unfortunately that Upgrade appears to be Broken as my wind turbins keep breaking!  In the short time I have played since Eco Living became live (approx 36 hours ago) I have had to repair/replace each of them at least twice.

Also wondering if wind turbines are supposed to break every time it rains? They're not electronics, and they're meant to be outside.

I placed wind turbines on a community lot and all 5 break at once every few days - I have to go in and delete them, then place them back. It's not worth repairing, but it is SUPER annoying.

I find ALL my appliances break way too often. I had a large lot and filled it with assorted solar and wind power machines. They broke so often they didn't really make any money for my sims

I am just going to throw out there that I didn't even know there was a ground turbine at first, so I was putting roof ones on the ground. When I saw there were ground turbines, I put them in, they break all the time, I googled and found out it is a thing. Just put the roof turbines on the ground. I know the specs aren't the same, but they never break.

Does this still need saves? I never get acknowledgement when I send saves so don't want to put myself out doing it if they're not needed.
