Sul sul simmies!
Compost bins were requested by a few of you and I think it's a great addition for gardening. So I present to you a base game compatible, functional compost bin!
Your sims can add almost any organic item to the compost bins (if I missed anything, let me know!). The compost bins have a limit of how many items it can hold. You can either drag and drop items individually into the bin through live mode, or by clicking on the bin and choosing '"Add Compostable Items".
The option for "Add Compostable Items" will bring up a picker that searches the world and your active sim's inventory for any items that can be composted. You can choose as many as you want and it will send those items to the compost bin. There is a max capacity on the bin and it is based on the items you put in the composter - in other words larger items will fill it up more quickly than small items.
The items will compost for 1-2 days depending on what/when items were added. You can hover over the compost bin at any time to see what stage the composting is at. Once the composting is complete, your sim can "Retrieve Compost" which will send fertilizer to your sims inventory and empty the bin.
If you have the Cottage Living EP, the fertilizer will be randomly chosen from the BGC super fertilizer and the large crop fertilizers. If you dont have CL, then the compost bin will always give you the super fertilizer.
The bulk of the bin is meant to look like leaves with little food scraps on top which I am kinda obsessed with. For now I just have the one wooden bucket for the bin, but I plan to add more and Syboulette is adding my tuning to her recent compost bin too!
If you have any suggestions or requests for this let me know!
I seriously have some good things coming your way.... I want to tell you more but all I am going to say for now is that I am about to change the way your simmies use computers!

2021-08-28 03:40:38 +0000 UTCOk, so normally I just like posts from creators I support, as a quick way to say thank you. But, I just wanted to stop and just say how much I appreciate your creativity. Everything you make is so useful, with such thoughtful, cherry-on-top details. I truly appreciate everything you do!
