Re: Eco Lifestyle water usage glitch?

@BunnyLynn1228 Well I have definitely learned a lot from reading @jpkarlsen 's comments in the past! One other nice thing about the Eco Lifestyle pack is that you can use Eco upgrade parts to install the upgrades without needing a high Handiness skill like you would for most other upgrades. You can fabricate the Eco upgrade parts on an EL Fabricator or if you get lucky you can find them for sale on the marketplace tables in a Community Space lot. You can create your own Community Space lot in any world you like, I have placed one in my Brindleton Bay neighborhood. If you give it the "Community Space" lot type then NPC townies will automatically work the craft tables along with those bug food trailers also from the EL pack-- for some reason Sims go crazy for food made from bugs... O_o. I decorated it with a lot of lights and decor items from the Holiday Stuff Pack and I put some picnic tables in there, stuff like that, so it always reminds me of an old-fashioned outdoor crafts fair. I added three of the EL market tables, plus a candle-making station, and a fizzy juicer. In the "Maker Space" version I added a Fabricator so if I ever need one of those I just vote that version in. I even gave it the "Cat Hangout" lot trait so there are always stray cats buzzing around (hey it is Brindleton Bay after all). There are a lot of fun things about this pack once you get the hang of it :D

@RandomBuzziness That is really good to know!!! I haven't fabricated anything yet so I'm really glad to know I can make Eco Upgrade parts on that!
Honestly before posting this, I read this long article on every detail of the pack. Realized why I couldn't see the stuff my sim was recycling in his inventory (it was turning in to bits and pieces, lol).
And, I nearly face palmed that something called a candle making table was so versatile and necessary! I totally overlooked it initially because it's right next to the flower arranging table in buy mode. I just didn't have a sim in the house that I felt like was going to get in to flower arranging or candle making. xD LOL! (Also, that's what I get for not reading about the pack beforehand and just downloading it assuming all it was going to do was give me solar panels to use xD)
But I just bought my household a candle making table, so now I can't wait to get started on it!!

Um Okay and that community lot you described sounds AMAZING. Sounds so cute and pretty!!! Great creativity and detail! I'm totally inspired to make something similar now, hahah! Thank you so much for all of your wonderful ideas and help!!!!
