Off the Grid Lot Trait
Added 2019-06-11 06:30:47 +0000 UTCI'm SUPER excited about this trait coming with the new Expansion Pack and I want to put together some objects/mods based around this for July. I had always intended to make the solar panels from Get Famous functional so I'll look into that, but what else would you all like to see?
Please leave your ideas/comments/suggestions below!

There are two wooden tubs and toilets in the debug catalogue (because they are craftable from the woodworking table), which would work well with this lot trait and EP. I wish you would liberate them (especially the Indoor Outhouse) and make them available in the regular catalogue. I hate looking for stuff in the debug menu as it is so cluttered and irregular that it is hard to find stuff there.

2019-06-13 03:28:26 +0000 UTCI hope the StrangerVille tub will be compatible. Love your ideas, Asislavender! IMO, the trash bin from Outdoor Living would make a great looking stone charcoal grill.

2019-06-13 03:07:16 +0000 UTCI was actually thinking of taking the Pit BBQ from the expansion and turning it into a stove. It would be really cool but then I'd have to make separate recipes because I'd need to edit the banana leaves and make pots instead. The clay/stone oven is a great idea, I'd have to find a mesh that was close in shape to a regular stove so I don't have to edit the tuning or slots on it. I could try to convert something from TS3 as well. Either way meshing it from scratch would take too much time. Let me know if you see an object that I could use as a base and I'll check it out!

2019-06-12 15:46:43 +0000 UTCYep, if I make them they will definitely work on rooftops. I think the only issue I'm having is how to make this work in game with multiple electronics because you would probably need more panels if you own more electronics but let me take a look at the coding and see what I can do. I may create a different type of panel for each type of electronics so it's not too cheaty. :)

2019-06-12 15:42:04 +0000 UTCThis is a great idea, I could make a rain barrel for the sprinklers to work. A hand pump is a great idea too. I wonder if I can get that to work like a sink? Composting toilet is a GREAT idea. I think it would need a good amount of coding though so let me check it out. :D

2019-06-12 15:39:21 +0000 UTCOooh, the strangerville tub would be perfect! Hmmm...I might be able to do a waterfall shower that would be interesting. Lighting is a good idea too, if EA hasn't already done it I'll convert some of those over to be compatible with the Off-the-Grid trait. I see a mini-pack beginning to take shape lol

2019-06-12 15:37:14 +0000 UTCa rain barrel with a faucet (functioning as a sink) would be lovely. I'd assume the strangerville bathtub will be made compatable but in case ea doesn't make it work that should too. An outdoor shower, maybe even a 'natural' waterfall-like shower could be really cool! Also a stone charcoal stove like the kind you see at parks could be cool. some more lanterns/battery lights would be useful too!

2019-06-11 23:57:07 +0000 UTCI'd love a water reclamation. I use the "barrels" from GtW and the drainpipes from GT to simulate water catchment similar to what we do around here. Also a hand pump would be awesome! And a composting toilet.

2019-06-11 21:00:03 +0000 UTCI like the idea of solar panels, what about roof mounted ones (if possible)?

2019-06-11 20:07:55 +0000 UTCGiven that most electronics/plumbing items are not going to work on these lots, maybe handmade-looking options that will? Outdoor clay/stone oven maybe?
