I've been on hold with for the last hour because why should ANYTHING work like it's supposed to with Quickbooks. Anyway, I decided to mess around with a couple of things and outline my projects for next month. Technically I'm still working, but it's really hard to work with numbers while listening to their hold music so I thought I would be productive some other way ;)

I want to finish the Farmer's Market lot for Lot-Owners, although I think it may be another 2 month project. Instead of waiting until all the sub-stalls are done I'll finish the produce section in February, then plan to do the Fish & Flower one March. All the other ones I want to do will be added after that, but those two along with some other mods/edits should allow you to use the market until then.

I also realized a few weeks ago that in order to wrap up the Candle Crafting mod and skill and start any of the others, I need to get all those custom harvestables out so I'll be working on those as well. Now that I have the harvestable overrides done with no more errors (thank goodness!) I can use those to get the rest of my custom stuff out, although the issue with the dark plants indoors is still an issue :(

Once I'm done with the modular closet set this month I'm going to be focusing solely on the Farmers Market sets and Custom Harvestables. As much as I like to separate clutter, it has a tendency to slow down all my other projects. It's not to say I won't separate clutter at all, but I have some big life changes happening in about 6 months and I want to get all my major projects complete before then so that's where I'm going to focus my all my energy. 

February:

Finish the other seasons of fruit/vegetable displays that customers can buy from; I'm going to make them individually and if I have time make them change their mesh with the seasons

Create a sack and crate that can be filled then stored in a sims inventory. I found a neat trick that allows the stuff in an inventory to be set for sale automatically when you pull it out, but I have to test it out to see if it works with this type of storage.

Fix the sink I made with the counters; I didn't realized the water animation was off

Recolor and release the bushel and pint baskets as display surfaces; Turn the JA stall box with the sign and food on top into a display too

Make the food stalls from City Living Wall-less or recolor them in wood paneling, and try to remesh the front of the stand into just a table; also make vendors $1 to hire, allow more stalls per lot, and make their needs decay slower so they stay for like 12 hours at a time. The stalls are going to be a big part of this lot as the vendors fill the lot with life like a real market

Wooden signs like almost all farmers markets have and maybe a couple more deco objects

Finish the Flea Market canopy for the yard sale area of the market; anyone will be able to place their tables under these and start a sale so it feels like a flea market!

I think that's it for now, you can get an idea of what I want it to look like in the pics below. If you have any last minute comments/suggestions please leave them in the comments section below!

This is an amazingly aggressive WIP list and schedule. I'm looking forward to the harvestables and market especially. However, don't kill yourself with this timetable.

2026-09-06 05:00 I agree with Diane, if you'd like some ideas though- for the fish stand, what about (if possible) a small fish tank for live lobsters. I also know for city living you can buy spices, it'd be really cool to have a spices stand

Fish tanks are a neat idea, I'll keep that in mind! Spices were actually one of those bigger projects we brainstormed and started at some point but the whole harvestables thing had kinda put everything on hold. Once I finish this project I'll repost a discussion for the next so we can get some fresh input on everything.

Thank you Diane, I'm hoping I can get it done, a lot of this stuff I started already I just need to flesh it out a bit and fine tune the coding. :)
