Homesteading

Alright, once I've completed the first Aspiration and Skill for Preserving I'd like to work on one of the following. There'll be a poll at the bottom and you all can vote on it. Keep in mind when you vote, I'll probably only do one of these. I think by the time I finish a second set I'll be burnt out and ready to move on to something else lol.

Pro Survivalist Aspiration & Survivalist Trait

  • Forage - I'll add interactions to several plants from each world to enable sims to find random food and objects - foraging can result in some sicknesses and injuries
  • Build temporary shelter (tent) with foraged wood and leaves 
  • I'd like to enable the same eat to identify system that EA uses in outdoor retreat for a couple of new harvestables I want to add, one being truffles :)
  • Build a portable campfire stove
  • Repair and expand Pbox clay mod to make dishes and pottery
  • Make foraged food recipes including medicines
  • Scavenge for parts from outdoors or from objects (for those klepto sims)
  • Build a bunker (just build a house, preferably underground lol)
  • Build rain barrels to collect water - barrels will provide a weekly credit to help cancel out the monthly bills for your lot
  • Build solar panels - same as rain barrels will provide a credit
  • Build objects for bunker with scavenged parts - stuff we're missing from the woodworking table like a sink and a sofa etc...
  • Stock bunker with preserved food
  • Recruit Survivalists

I'll either create a wood harvestable, or just add an interaction to trees for sims to forage wood. I'd like to add all the stuff you can build to the woodworking table then make all of the object recipes require it. I'm hoping to have this workable so you can start in the woods then work your way up to having a fully stocked Doomsday bunker lol. Or you could just start from living in the wilderness into being 100% self-sufficient - branching out into the whole gardening and preserving skills once you master being a survivalist.

Happy Homesteader Aspiration

  • Harness Solar power
  • Build rain barrels
  • Build a well
  • Grow food & preserve it

Other stuff:

  • Kids activity table with nature related activities
  • Pantry fridge that only has access to cold recipes; only recipes that require harvestables will be included
  • Woodburning stove that only has access to hot recipes; only recipes that require harvestables will be included

This one is obviously not as fleshed out as the other. The idea behind this one is to be self-sufficient on your home lot. The objects listed above will all provide credits to help cancel out bills every month. The goal is to preserve a certain amount of food and get enough monthly credits to cancel all your bills. The reward for this will be an increase in the amount of credit you get back from said objects, a buff that makes you happy while you're on your home lot, and get fitness from gardening. There are several rewards because this aspiration will be a bit harder to get due to it requiring the gardening and preserving skills as well as the woodworking skill.

I like both but I would add woodburning stoves as well to the first one.
