Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? No clue. I have 2 off the grid lots. Both identical as I started over with a new family. So both houses of the two families are the same.
What happens when the bug occurs? Off the grid living has massive power drains of minus 28. While there is nothing of power on the beside a fridge a laptop, a few candles. and one light in the bathroom. When I made the house on my first family. There is no problem. I actually have a surplus of 8+ power in the harbor. ( I even have 56 ) in storage. However... When I copied the house and put it on Sulani with another family... There is no way I can generate power. It goes +4 ... and as soon I got 1 storage it goes minus 28. and lose instantly all storage. While as said... both houses are identical and I only have the issue on the latter one.

@LeCheffre Could you upload your lot to the gallery and put the name here ? The one that's draining energy from Sulani.
Which lot did you put it on ?
Like to test this.
Good Luck

I have the same problem with a lot in sulani.
i’m playing survival thema with off the grit lot trait.
i had more then 4 sunpower items on my roof and 2 sunpower items on the ground. And i stil had an energie use of -28 or even more?! Like how i only had a view of the grit lights, 1 fridge, 1 stove. (All working with off the grit.)
i figured out that the candles cost power regardless if they are off the grit items!
all fridge are draining power to. does not matter if they are off the grit Items and there is no option to turn the power use off from the item.
there was ice stored inside it and it drained power...
what i did to remove the draining power from my lot:
- i deleted all candle light so my sims living in darkness.
- bought a new fridge and upgraded it with handiness skill a trait so it does drain less power.
- upgraded the stove with the less power energie trait. And set the use power option off.
at the start of the new week my power is 0 again and now for the first time ever i’m making energie with my 6 sunpower items on my roof and the ground.
but at night the poweruse is like -120 again and at daylight its +?? (I dont know the numbers)
