    What are all the dye recipes?

    I'm aware of grim being made with death flowers from other posts.

    Black dye can be made by making... either cricket flour or beetle nuggets.

    Are there any others?

      I guess I will go exploring to find the answers, then.

      I'm sorry. I don't understand your post. Is this in the Sims 4? I didn't know we could dye anything. But maybe it's Eco Living since I don't have that expansion pack.

      It is Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle, didn't mean to confuse. You can dye candles and other fabrications.

      Hopefully someone can answer your question. Eco Living and Get Famous are the two expansions I don't have.

      For the record, Eco Lifestyle actually seems to make Bust the Dust worth it. You can compost trash to feed the bugs, and BTD makes you throw away stuff.

      Just tested- you have to raise crickets, and keep them fed and thriving.

      Okay, I am clearly on my own. :D

      Houndstooth comes from rummaging through trash piles after repairs.

      I was unaware you could craft the dyes. But then, I've never messed with the bugs (personal hang up)

      You can find Houdstooth and Grim by dumpster diving, and the rest I know you can buy on the fabrication or candle making station. I don't know how to make them.

      I suspect the recycler is key. Recycling death flower gives grim... I just don't know what to put in it.

      I've always just found dyes via dumpster or buying them through the various benches.

      Too easy for my taste. ;) I usually make dyes when I have a Sum who is only using an Eco lifestyle to be stingy. Don't buy what you can make- tables, chairs, ornaments, shelves... dyed candles...

      The dumpster gives them away for free! I've gotten them other places too, I just don't recall where. The dumpster is very reliable.
