Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I installed the latest patch for Sims
Every time I try to play, Landgraab turns my power off and never turns it back on. All bills are paid. I restart my game and then it just repeats itself. I've tried starting a new Sim Family and it still happens. I'm starting to get frustrated because I can't use any of my objects. It ends up making the game unplayable.

Have you tried removing your mods and seeing if that works sometimes mods cause weird stuff to happen in the game.

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
Good Luck

Hi,
I do have the Eco expansion but I’m not playing in the eco world, I’m playing in the desert world that comes with the base game. I had played several days on the new eco world with no issue. When I started a new fam in the desert world I got an in-game alert that the Landgraab Power Company was turning off the electricity to my lot because of squirrels. But there are no squirrels on my lot? And no trees, so no leaf piles. And I can’t figure out how to get the power back on. My bills are paid.
Because I have the eco pack, I am just working around it by having solar panels and stuff but it’s very frustrating.

Yes that was the message. Power has been out since day 4 of sims life. Sim is now 27 days old (starting as young adult)
in real time, since 6/14/2020
