Update 25.07.21 - 

1. Updated for Cottage Living

2 . Chage in how water bucket is used - 

  • While showering or bathing, giving toodlers or pets a bath -  if the water bucket is in your sim's inventory, then you can click on the bucket to use collected water --> boost to water utility production ( reduction in bill) [Eco Living Functionality]
  • Now water is required for only off the grid actions on shower, tub , sink and toilet ( and thus is available only on off the grid compatible plumbing)
  • Use water to replace the water in the washing tub

 I have removed the other overrides because it was a very clumsy way to approach this mod. I will add more uses fro water to the mod.

Just letting you know that this conflicts with a.deep.indigo's gameplay mod of Dental care. It's this one: E882D22F:00000000:0000000000033CF9 I'm not sure what to do about it as I love both!!

sulsulsimsim

You are AMAZING! I love this! Thanks so much! Perfect for my Sims homestead!

Chantal Evrard

It's really cool ! I love it ! on the other hand it seems that a dishwasher uses less water than a sink.

ThatOneFiend

Just Take my money! Thank you so much, Cinderella is going to love this.

Tini Hess

Super cool.Big yes to the Rainwater Harvesting in the future!That would be great.

K

This is such an amazing example of how creative you are. Thank you for sharing.

Charmbird

Wow! So many options & I love it! Great work, Icy!! TY

icemunmun

Oh its part of the soap making station i have been working on. Make soaps and then use it to shower and bathe and ofc sell for a profit

Petite Cerise

I think the devs spied on your WIPs. :P I have a slight feeling we will see a water pump and a canning station in the new Eco Lifestyle expansion. :D But, I think especially all your recipes and harvestables will be such a great addition style, because let's be honest, ingame features are usually rather half-arsed while you add so many incredible features.

icemunmun

Thank you so much! I just saw the trailer and there is no canning or water pump but there definitely is candle making haha. I will try and make my candles compatible with the pack!

JasmineSims

i don't understand, my sim has in his inventory 5 water bucket and I have no interaction or for gardening the bath, the shower, the dishwasher, I don't understand what should I do ?? and when my little girl looks for a toy in the crevice the water pump disappears is that normal?

icemunmun

Do you have tge overrides ? What interactions do you get when you click on the shower/bathtub/plants ? I will look into the toy interaction...that should not happen!

Nea Emrys

Feedback: I love the idea, but I would like an option to use the pump or use the normal plumbing instead. Maybe tie the pump to the off the grid trait - or make another trait specifically for this? I would like to decide which lots I use the pump without having to remove the mod or put it back in. An on-off switch for the plumbing would work too I guess. Just my thoughts. Very creative though!

icemunmun

I will add a water usage menu where all the watwr interaction will be available. I will keep the normal interactions intact. Waiting for the new eco pack before i update as i want to see if there is water management in it.

Toni Campbell

Hi I was wondering if you could make some fried chicken meal or just fried chicken plate

Charmbird

Just saw that update on the pet/toddler bath update! For a sim week, I had the funkiest dog ever! Yesterday, I FINALLY figured out that it this mod.😵 Talk about slow, but at least I connected the dots, in the end🥴

Sejha, Liz and Bright

Sorry Im kind of confused, how does this impact the normal game? Does it affect all things that need water? ;; I hope this doesnt come off as a dumb question

icemunmun

Yep...if you download the overrides it affects most activities which requires water. You will need to have buckets of water in your inventory to be able to perform those actions

Charmbird

Icy, I know you're waiting on the Eco pk to fully update the pump, but is it possible while you are tinkering to add a 3rd pump option? I just went to one of my modern apartments....really, a wooden/stone pump looks crazy in there! Every time I see it, I break out giggling! I guess Patron Nea Emrys has a point about the toggle option. Anyway, these are only seeds for ideas, no criticism! Hugs!

icemunmun

Oh that is a good idea! I may add a mordern version hich would fit in apartments and such. I will be creating a separate menu for the water functions on the bathtub, shower, dishwahser and the laundry stuff

Sylvain Detrez

Is it possible to make it accessible to roommates, please?

Val

hello just curious do the overrides to require water for bathing, gardening etc. only work when you have the lot trait off the grid or with those file in your game you will always need water regardless if its off the grid or not? thank you.

icemunmun

Its not lot trait specific. But i am going to make it lot trait specific now since the off the grid trait is now more useful (after the eco lifestyle pack). This mod will require extensive overhaul

M Zakharuk

Hi! Any plans to update this in the near future for off-the-grid? Would love to use it for my historical save file

icemunmun

Yes. I dont know how to approach it yet. Maybe click on the bucket and use it while showering...i am thoroughly undecided

Abigail Mendez

Is there anyway to be able to pick and choose between using this for washing machine and hand washing? For example, I would love to use this for hand washing clothes in the wash bucket object thing, but not have to collect water to use the washing machine.

Lady D

Is this mod broken? I'm doing an historical save and this would work perfectly if it's functional

Lisbeth Göransson

Hi thanks i love y mods are you going to uppdate the dairy cow too? I love y cow for the games cow take so much space. Sorry for my bed english and thanks again for the hard work you do.

Anna Garcia

I have ALWAYS wondered whyyyy this wasn’t a thing since I first saw it in game. Thank you!!

BenteNds

I love you to the Moon and Back!!!

Chaaleesi

Hello I just wanted to ask if the buckets are supposed to be one-time use? Like should my sim keep a bunch of buckets in their inventory? I had a bucket for my farmer couple but they both disappeared after using.
