Self-Sufficient Aspiration

Patch 1.90: Initial testing suggests that this aspiration is still compatible with Patch 1.90. If you run into any issues please be sure to let me know and I'll try and take a look at it.

Why?

I wanted an aspiration to play with my Freegan Rags-to-Riches Challenge, but none of the aspirations that came with Eco Lifestyle really fit what I was going for. If you are interested in the rules I used for that challenge I posted them below.


Now on with the explanation of this aspiration!

What is it?

This aspiration will have your sim dumpster diving, growing food, fabricating, and crafting their own furniture. It works well with challenges that limit what your sim is allowed to buy, and will see them able to completely provide for their own needs...even toilets! This aspiration comes with a custom reward trait that will make dumpster diving, wood working, and fabricating less draining on your sims needs.


Compatibility:

This aspiration requires Eco Lifestyle, as it utilizes the fabrication skill, but doesn't need any other packs. That said, I do have all of the expansions and stuff packs in my game, so when I tested this trait it was with all of the packs included. It was created with patch 1.63, and should work fine with patch 1.64.

An Important Note:

This is the first aspiration that I've made, and while I have tested it extensively with the Better Exceptions mod (which I HIGHLY recommend!) it is still possible that I missed something. Please be sure to let me know if you run into any problems!

Aspiration Tiers:


Reward Perk: Salvage Artisan - Salvage artisans have mastered the arts of recycling and upcycling. No more will they be bound to the endless cycle of consumption and waste!
