Functional Grinder

[15/04/2023] Updated to version 0.5

[10/08/2022] Added Inventory to the Grinder

[13/02/2022] Fixed issue with sinlge Barley flour package throwing LE

[09/02/2022] Updated the slotting of the Modern Grinder, now it can be places everywhere where there are free slots (not only on counter tops)

[27/01/2022] Added russian translation by Origamika

[17/01/2022] Added Barley Flour (you can use the barley harvestable as ingredient)

[15/12/2021] So, after I've been contacted by a couple of people the last few days, I updated the Grinder and now you can grind the Cottage Flour and Sugar as well, yey! You can find the recipe under 'Grind Single Package' category.

[11/12/2021] Fixed issue with missing ingredient tag for the rose powder

[08/12/2021] Added Epsom Salts (used as ingredient for the Soap Making Station) and Salt (used as ingredient for the Dairy Churn). For now only single packages are available! Optional ingredient is the mined salt by Mirai's Mining Mod (right now it's early access until 24th of December), but it's not required, you can still create the salt without it.

[11/10/2021] Now you can drag in and out of the inventory the single cosmetic powders

[30/08/2021] Updated the strings that showed debug

[24/08/2021] Updated some tags so now the poducts can be sold at the Grocery Shop, if you have Cottage Living

Why buying sugar, flour, or any other type of powder, when you can produce it at home? Especially if you rely on your homegrown harvestables it's even better! You save money and produce quality!

This mod adds a functional grinder and 15 different products.

Functional Object:

Three different types of grinder:

Functional Grinder (found under Outdoor Activities, cost 750 simoleons)

Its big, comes in two colors (red and blue) and its the perfect addition for a Farm House.

Modern Grinder (found under Small Appliances, cost 400 simoleons)

This type is perfect for Sims that live in a tiny space, or maybe are City Sims and their apartment can't fit a big grinder, yet they want to produce their own products. This item comes in only one color.

Medieval Grinder (found under decoration, misc and cost 400 simoleons)

You are a history player? Your Sims live in a certain historical period and you need something to fit in? Then this type is for you! (it comes in only one color)

How to use it?

At first when you buy the object opening the picker menu, you will see that it's empty. You need to learn how to grind before being able to see the products. To do this, you need to buy a book and read it.

The book is called 'How to Grind?' and it costs 550 simoleons. Once starting to read, your Sim will recieve a notice that they learned how to grind and can use the machine.

How to Grind?

On the grinder you can produce two types of products (used for cooking or for cosmetics).

You will see two options when pressing on the objects:

'Grind Products' will give you three big bags from this product each can be then filled in 10 small packages (requires 20 ingredients, the screenshot is old!).

'Grind Single Package' will give you three small packages of the product (requires 10 ingredients, the screenshot is old!).

The big products can be enlisted on Plopsy. If you want to use them in cooking you need to fill small packages!

The small packages can be enlisted on Plopsy or used for cooking. They are compatible with SCCO and Cottage Living!

There are 9 products fit for cooking and 6 products fit for cosmetics.

The only interaction on products fit for cosmetics is that they can be enlisted to Plopsy. MORE INTERACTIONS TO COME!

To make a Potpourri Jar you need to open the Single Package Menu (this is the only exception!) one Jar contains 5 bowls that can be enlisted on Plopsy or used as a decoration, they also emit emotional aura (give +2 flirty buff).

Ingredients Needed?

All ingredients are optional! If you don't have them, you just need to pay higher price for the product. All harvestable used are my custom harvestables I shared last month.
