Seriously, if you only grab ONE off the grid set, make it this one. Your Sims will thank you… probably with a freshly baked loaf of bread. 🥖
2. Filthy Fabulous by Ravasheen
Who says off-the-grid living has to be boring?
The Filthy Fabulous set is here to make your Sim’s rustic life a little more, well, fabulous. With 12 items that are base game and off-the-grid compatible, this set is packed with functional, quirky features.
Highlights include a candle that your Sim can stash in their inventory for those “mood lighting” moments, a bucket shower that works with water surplus or eco-upgrades, a fire drum that doubles as both a bonfire and a grill, and a bucket toilet you’ll need to empty (yes, we’re going there).
If you’re serious about embracing off-the-grid life, this set’s must-have.
3. Mill Appliance by Brazen Lotus
If you’re ready to get your grind on, the Mill Appliance set has you covered!
This pack comes with two mills—one that runs on electricity and another that’s off-the-grid compatible, so no matter your lifestyle, you can still enjoy fresh ingredients.
These mills are the perfect addition to your self-sufficient Sim’s life, grinding ingredients like flour, spices, and even tea.
Plus, they’re compatible with some of their custom recipes, making your off-the-grid meals even tastier.
4. Functional Mill by Icemunmun
Get ready to level up your off-the-grid cooking with the Functional Mill.
It’s basically the same concept as Brazen Lotus’s mill, but with even more options, including plant milk and a ton of other add-ons! Now your Sims can grind their own ingredients and make a wide range of delicious recipes using Icemunmun’s harvestables.
The Functional Mill is the perfect tool for Sims who want to live that farm-fresh lifestyle. From flour to plant milk, it’s a game-changer for anyone serious about self-sufficiency.
I wouldn’t say either one is better than the other – it really depends on who’s custom food items and plants you use more.

6. Liquid Press by Brazen Lotus
Freshly squeezed, off-the-grid goodness, coming right up!
The Liquid Press doesn’t require power and functions completely off-the-grid—because why would your Sims need electricity when they can make their own oil, juice, and nut milk ingredients?
This is the perfect addition to any rustic kitchen or self-sufficient farm.
