Can you fix burnt dumpster furniture for free?

The career...I think it’s civil engineer, that rewards you with the smog vacuum, that vacuum will fix burnt furniture. Someone posted on Twitter that placing the burnt furniture around your lots pushes your eco scale towards industrial too, if you’re looking to muck up the neighborhood some.

You need to Draft and Submit blueprints until the recipe for it is unlocked, then you craft it on the fabricator.

“I recently unlocked this item by submitting a ''modded'' eco-invention in the mailbox. So first you draft your eco-invention on the tablet, then you have to present the concept to another sim (you can find this by clicking ''more choices'' in the conversation bubble). By doing this there is a chance that this sim will recommend you to ''mod'' the concept to make it better. If by chance they do, then you can click on the draft in your inventory to ''mod'' it. This will make your concept much better and also it will increases the chance of unlocking some new cool fabrication items, including the smog vaccum which I did! The first time I modded my eco-draft I got the smog vaccum, but I'm not sure if you will unlock this on your first try. Hope this helps :-)“

Thanks @LoriTSp and @Pamtastic72 - Everything I found online just said unlock via the career. I couldn't find anything specific. :smiley:

In my case burnt furniture can be sold for full price before you put it in the house lot. Must be a glitch

Yeah, definite glitch. Every time there's a new patch I'm always like do you guys not playtest this stuff at ALL?! Smh. Anyway, I wanted to have a house with only things from dumpster diving - forcing my Sim to keep everything found but I now have like 9 beds and four refrigerators. Now I think I'll amend my plan, start with zero dollars and allow my Sim to repair/sell things he doesn't want but I'm only allowed to use that money on like walls, doors, windows, landscaping, etc. That is if I EVER unlock the thing that fixes burned stuff.

If you have Realm of Magic and your Sim is a Spellcaster, I think the Scruberoo spell might work. It does on furniture that has been struck by lightning or damaged in a fire.

@Pamtastic72 - Thanks for responding! Did it say what level? My Sim is Level 7 and I haven't seen it...

Do you have to have be in the career to fix the furniture?
