I have decided to make over Willow Creek as an off the grid, eco-friendly world.

Here's what I have so far...I hope you enjoy...

Cool stuff! I especially like that seed company store! I might use that as a template when Get to Work comes out. :)

Brennachan

@Chausser, thank you for your nice comment. If you end up using it, I hope you have a lot of fun with it. Hugs!

For Living off the Grid at Crick Cabana, do you have anything to store food? I am still hoping for a mod to allow you to store food in the coolers but so far nobody has done it.

Ashkevron

There are so many items you can use to make things eco-friendly. I see you have used the icebox fridge and the wood burning stove. I use those all the times for eco lots. I also use the sink that look like a basin on a table. I was thrilled when OR had lanterns in it so that replaced all my lights on eco lots. There is a grammyphone for music.

I love all your creations here and will use all of them while making my own eco neighbourhood. Are you going to make eco venues?

Brennachan

@Ashkevron, good question!

I don't usually use mods and I didn't use one when I play tested Off the Grid.

I play tested it with two sims. They ate quick meals out of the cooler, roasted hot dogs at the campfire and grilled meals or made camper's stew at the grill. I did have to have them throw out grilled meals because they could not finish all the servings -- so grilling is best when there is company over.

They just ate out of the cooler most of the time. The rent on this lot is like 350 simoleons a month or so so it's a great starter lot for saving money...

Ashkevron

Okay looking at the various venues, there are only a few items that are required that we don't currently have an eco version of. Of the bar, lounge and nightclub, they all need stereos which the grammyfone will cover. The bar needs a tv and the lounge needs a microphone. The library needs a computer. So we only need 3 pieces of custom content made and we can do the whole world as eco.

TV, microphone and computer.

I found this computer that we could consider some sort of old fashioned russian wind up power computer. Or even think of it as something like a telegraph machine or something.

TSR has another option for stereo

haven't found anything to replace the microphone since you end up walking around with it

Brennachan

Yes, @Ashkevon, without mods we can only take the off the grid thing so far. I am hoping with more content, we will eventually have more options (like the Sims 3 outhouse from Movie Stuff Pack) that will make off the grid living much more possible.

Thank you so much for looking up these items! I think a lot of simmers who like this concept will definitely want to use these!

I especially like the stereo one. It's soooo awesome!!!

I wish I could download it and make it a whole other world to visit.

Ashkevron

What would be cool, although I have no clue how mods and cc are made, would be to turn the microphone into something like a megaphone, you know it sort of looks like a traffic cone. If that could be modded to be used as a mic then we would have everything we needed.
