Re: How to unlock Eco Lifestyle Smog-Vacuum?

Not, gonna lie, I cheated through to find out if this was even possible. I've been hearing that it was, but I've yet to see ANYONE accomplish getting this thing. The thing is: you can't cheat your way into getting this object. Jumped a tester sim to level 10 of the Civil Designer career, Green Technician branch, and bumped her skills needed (Logic and Fabrication) to level 10 each but still did not have the plans for the Smog Vaccuum. Read some of the comments here and did what they said about drafting the eco-invention concept blueprint. When I asked other sims to check it out, it actually DECREASED the quality of the blueprint (went from Outstanding to Great). Stopped asking sims to check it and just kept creating them and eventually I ended up with a Perfect quality blueprint. Sent it off in the mail and was sent back the designs for the vaccuum. It really does let you repair burnt objects as good as new. Went dumpster diving and found a dining chair and a bench and repaired both for the cost of some pieces (banana peel symbol). Hope this helps. :D

    Apparently obtaining the smog machine is far more difficult than everyone thought, I've had my one Sim make blueprints and such, but so far NOTHING is being unlocked, not even the smog vacuum, I tried using cheats but Sims cannot put it in their inventory when its on a surface of any kind, if this is a glitch, its a super annoying one. Even if you submit/mail a blueprint, it won't unlock anything and believe me I've tried COUNTLESS times already.

  • I just watch a EA GAMECHANGER (DrGluon/James Turner) buy the debug smog vacuum, drag it to the selling table, and then choose "clear table"... It will put it in your inventory.

    The Debug Vacuum on the selling table worked for me just now.

    @Kurliekatrina Forgive me is this sounds dumb, but I can't find a selling table. Thanks if you can give me the name to search for. New to this Eco Pack. :/

    Never mind. Sadly I had to uninstall Eco, it was eating too much RAM. ☹️. Still curious about the selling table once I get the new RAM to cope with Eco.

    The sales tables are called "Come and Get it Street Stall", or "Selvadoradian Craft Sales Table" and come in City Living and Jungle Adventure.
    Place the smog vaccuum from the catalogue onto one of these tables, go into live mode, and then select 'clear table'
    Hope this helps! 🙂

    So I got the selling table, cleared it, got my sim to clean smog, but still the planters aren't working!   Any more ideas?  Will this bug be fixed?  They're not cheap! :D

    Yeah, you can get it with bb.showhiddenobjects, but it’s absolutely tied to your logic skill. My level 10 logic Sims always get the smog vacuum.

     Things like the couch or desk fabricator recipes, OTOH, are completely RNG and there are several my Super Sim doesn’t have no matter how often she enthuses about fabrication… okay, we gave up.
