A set of functional electronics—specifically a TV and a radio—that work even on Off-the-Grid lots, allowing Sims to enjoy media without needing electricity.
Key features
- Fully off-the-grid TV that operates reliably.
- Functional radio with some minor interaction quirks: certain “turn on” and “listen to” options appear greyed out, though alternate interaction options remain usable.
- Offers household entertainment in energy-free environments where standard electronics would normally fail.
Requirements and compatibility
Requires the base game and the Eco Lifestyle expansion pack. Compatible with build-buy mode under electronics category on Off-the-Grid lots (Eco Lifestyle feature).
Mod release date
Released on February 5, 2022.
Gameplay role/impact
Adds realism and convenience to Off-the-Grid gameplay by making entertainment accessible without power—perfect for eco-living challenges, survival builds, or narrative storytelling in powerless environments.
Is it Maxis-Match?
Yes—it blends smoothly with The Sims 4’s default style and aesthetic, maintaining visual cohesion.
Community feedback
Players appreciate the added functionality for off-grid builds; the TV works flawlessly, while the radio exhibits minor interface quirks that don’t overshadow its usefulness in energy-free scenarios
About the creator
Created by SlyVenom, a Sims 4 modder with an interest in practical, niche additions that fill in gameplay gaps—especially for off-grid and eco living setups. No indication that the mod has been transferred or adopted by another creator.
Editor’s Note
Ideal for players embracing Off-the-Grid challenges or eco-friendly builds who want to maintain in-game entertainment without relying on electricity. Consider pairing it with other off-grid functional mods—like lights or appliances—to create fully powered-down, yet interactive homes.
