Hello, I was wondering if somebody could create a Set of Functional Solar Panels, as in they Reduce your bills and even earn you interest. I was extremely Biffed by how Eco-Living Turned into Laundry Day, simply because EVERYONE WANTED Laundry (I mean why have something that you can do at home in real life in your game, while you could have waited and have it patched into the base game for free, and even have newer version added with future packs, like how Dishwashers were, seriously, we have three dishwashers including the one that was patched in). I want to earn interest for providing more power then I take from the Grid, like in real life (Rant Over). Basically Solar Panels, either Roof Mounted or Free Standing that reduce your bills depending on how many you have, and even earning you interest if they exceed your Bill Cost. If anybody is interested in taking this on or likes the idea, please post in this forum. Thanks in Advance  Edit: No possibly bigger, especially since when I posted this, the Island Living Patch, and subsequently the Off The Grid Lot Trait didn't happen yet, so possibly adding more than just solar panels, though the latest patch added ample objects to make functional. So adding Wind Turbines, Water Storage/Collecting, and possibly Satellites made Functional to add Internet. |

Bumping this to get some attention. I think this would be very useful, plus we don't know when EA/MAXIS is going to add them officialy.

I love the environment, I would love for this to be implemented maybe if some modder sees it he could take ideas from the sims 2 green energy source of mansions and gardens although I do not know if it is possible the object if it could be but ... the interaction? As if it were the interaction of paying the bills but instead paying less? I have no idea ... n.nU modders, ideas for solar panels:  sims 3 free item sims 2: sims.wikia.com/wiki/Green_energy_source?file=Solar_panel_1x1.jpgsims 2 cc:  nano tech solar panel mod: modthesims.info/d/503526sims 4: inspired by the mod of this creator that I think is very outdated very low bills modthesims.info/download.php?t=534389 |

Just to confirm they don't seem to function, their just Decorations, though I do think they could probably be made functional with some extra coding. |

How much should the solar panels cost? and how much should they reduce the bills? |

In terms as for making them work, I feel it would make sense that they work only when it is Sunny and during the day ( the only sunny part for seasons Cloudy/Rainy days), though it would make sense that they also have Electricity Storage as well, as that is what happens in real life when using renewable energy like Wind and Solar. Plus I think it would make sense that the more you have, the bigger the discount, plus having solar panels that would enable Objects that use electricity to function while using the Off The Grid Lot Trait. |

Hey, its been a while, i managed to make the mod, its a little bit crude, it doesn't earn you interest and they are not affected by weather for now, i might make them be affected by weather in the next update. you can get it in my studio: sims4studio.com/thread/18198/sigmas-little-corneror on modthesims: www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=631669 |
