Brainstorming - Aspiration & Skill #1 (Patreon)
Content
Homesteading
I think this group will have to be done first as I'm trying to incorporate the preserving skill on a low level into the next two aspirations I'll post. Please note that anything below could change depending on how well it flows together or if I can make them happen tuning-wise.
Self-Sufficient Aspiration #1:
Bonus: Faster Skills or Skill Boost when in certain emotion
Perfect Preserver:
- Milestone I - Arid Herbalist - dry herbs to create spices & teas
- Milestone II - Sun-Kissed - dry fruits, veggies, and fish
- Milestone III - Saucy Jammer - create jams and sauces
- Milestone IV - Perfect Preserver - create pickled and oil-packed foods
Reward: Ability to sell creations to SimFoods Natural Grocer + Remove negative moodlets while preserving
Preserving Skill:
Sims can prepare and store their own food indefinitely. They can chose to eat it later or sell it.
Skill Book: Levels 1-3
Ideal Mood: Focused
Objects: Sun Dehydrator
Trigger: Be Gardening level 4 + read skill book or use dehydrator
Note: As long as I can get it to work, I'd like every recipe to cost 0 simoleons if you have all ingredients. Not all recipes will give individual buffs, but I'll likely create one buff for each level, both a positive and negative one. All recipes except dehydrated ones will be accessible from the stove & fridge menus. I'm thinking I'll start with 3-5 cooking recipes for each group and add to them as I release more sets/harvestables. I'll also try to rework any in-game recipes where I can and have time.
Level 1 - Craft simple dehydrated harvestable recipes
Level 2 - Craft Tea Herbs & Unlock Recipes
Level 3 - Craft Spice Powder & Unlock Cooking Recipes / Talk to other sims about preserving food
Level 4 - Craft Dehydrated Veggies & Unlock Recipes
Level 5 - Craft Dehydrated Fruits & Unlock Recipes / Disinfect Surface option (like flavorize)
Level 6 - Craft Fish Jerky & Unlock Recipes / Give other Sims preserving tips
Level 7 - Craft Sauces & Unlock Recipes
Level 8 - Craft Pickled Veggies & Unlock Recipes / Craft Oil-packed Veggies & Unlock Recipes
Level 9 - Craft Jams & Unlock Recipes
Level 10 - Craft Highest Level Preserves for each category & Unlock Recipes
If you have suggestions, stuff you want to see changed, or stuff you want to see added let me know. Also, comment below if there's a specific recipe you'd like me to add that would use the preserves mentioned and I'll try to add it in!
