About this mod:

Have your sim make handcrafted dyes and wool colours at home without having to order through a computer or feed magical treats to your llamas!

(This is a remake of an old mod from my 'Olde Cookbook Kit' mod. Please delete any old versions as they are not compatible)

Important Info:

The Homestead Helper mod is required for this mod to work - download here

To craft the dye and wool recipes, click onto the Homestead Helper Basket to bring up the menu - works like cooking a recipe and you will need a fridge + stove on the lot.

You can have either or both packages but make sure to read the expansion requirements.

Dyes Recipes -

Eco Lifestyle Expansion Pack is required

This overrides the fabricator dyes and also gives them a new mesh/texture

Will conflict with other mods altering fabricator dyes

Makes 4 crafted dyes. Extra dyes will go to your sims inventory (similar to canning recipes)

Cooking level 1 for these recipes.

Wool Recipes -

Cottage Living Expansion Pack is required

Makes a ball of yarn which holds 2 wool in the colour of choice - you must click to turn it into the colour of wool to be used in knitting/sewing recipes.

Will conflict with other mods altering wool

Cooking level 2 for these recipes.

Both Dyes & Wool:

Asks for optional in-game /and custom ingredients from the homestead helper and hunting & foraging mod - custom ingredients will only show if you have those mods installed.

Simple Living Lot trait compatible.

Off the Grid compatible when using this small override.

any issues let me know! 💚

This mod is compatible with JaneSimsten's Spinning Wheel Mod! - please note, you still have to create Janes yarn to use in knitting/cross stitching. The yarn balls in this mod 'hold' dyed wool rather than used as the required yarn ingredient.

Updated 20-12-2024 - Wool package only.

quick string fix to remove 'llama' so now sheep are not impersonating llamas and the wool will no longer say it is llama wool 😅

I've been waiting for this one. Hopefully I'll be able to give this a whirl on Friday. Can't wait.

is this compatible with Jane Simsten's functional spinning wheel mod? i hope so because i think they'd go really well together for a historical save :)

Moozilla

I am also wondering about compatibility with JaneSimsten's spinning wheel mod :)

Hi! How does this interact with the wool from the Horse Ranch mini sheep?

Purrple Rayne

Yes, it compatible! I have been using it these past few days. You will have to click on the yarn balls to convert them back to wool for both knitting and spinning.

I don't see the make heirloom option. Is that part of the EcoLifestyle?

littlbowbub

Hi, sorry I don't understand? Do you mean heirloom on the homestead helper basket?

littlbowbub

You should be able to use any wool for dyeing :)

Betty Ann Kattner

Yes, I don't see the make heirloom option on the homestead helper basket, but I don't have EcoLifestyle, so that could be the problem.
