Has this been tested with Late Night? I have found several scripting mods that interfere with Late Night.

It has been tested with code version 0.2.0.125 and works. This mod is so puny that it didn't get borked by the LN patch.

Solar panels and windmills are part of the eco pack(s) from the store.

It's not found under a Store catagory. It has its own page.

If that link gives you a 404 when you follow it then try changing your site language between UK or US.

Does this work with Prius version of the ecopack too? (http://store.thesims3.com/prius.html)

@ac220: I don't see why it wouldn't. This fix doesn't depend on a certain object being present anyway.

Generations...
Hi, I have this mod installed. I tried one of the solar panels with Generations and the new update. The solar panel only gives the view option. Unfortunately I did not try it out before I installed the new game + updatye, so I cannot say whether or not it worked for me then (sorry).



06/02/2011 - Thank you for the update!!!

I've been using this little beauty for a while now, and only just discovered something a tad weird. With this mod taken out, when a handy sim upgrades the eco objects, the number of unique upgrades increses by one, but the percentage of unique upgrade does not increase. With the mod installed, the percentage does increase by 3 percent, but no picture or discription of the windmill or solar panal is added to the sim's handiness journal. Is this common, or just unique freakiness on my pc?

@coolspear1: For reasons that elude me, the devs didn't go to lengths (irony) of adding the needed strings for the skill journal, but blocked the efficiency upgrade from showing up with a hard-coded check. I can just tell you that it's deliberate.
