ECO - Candle making

I think you need bits and pieces. I have not made any candles yet but I watched James's video and it looked like he needed them to make the candle.

I was confused on what to do too @Simmerville. But if you keep recycling you'll finally get enough bits or whatever they're called to make a candle.

You need the candle making table to make candles. You can also get soy wax from soy plants

I got the table, but it's not enough.

Hm, I wish my sim could just buy what she needs for making candles. In real life candle making is possible even if you don't recycle.

Hm, my sim can't afford a recycling thing, and there is no community space offering it yet, so then she can't make candles yet... bummer, but I'll find a way :)

If you go to the community lot in the neighborhood with the most smog, you can click on the dumpster and separate recyclables. Do that a bunch of times, and then on that same lot, you'll find the upcycled machine that you can use to upcycle all the materials you found in the dumpster. I hope that makes sense. :)

@Simmerville - my Sim can't afford a recycling machine either. But there's one on the Community Space lots. There's even a dumpster there that has other options besides diving, diving for meals, etc. I'm kind of learning as I go....definitely like the challenge so far.

You also need stuff from the trash to make a candle which I thought was weird. :joy:

The recycler is already on many of the default community spaces and waiting for use even before anything is voted on if you can't afford that recycler yet! I love that machine. It's oddly satisfying "crunching up" your inventory!

:joy: That made me laugh to excited over crunching noises it gives.

So, my sim recycled some furniture she found in a dumpster. Those small packed boxes came out of the machine, and she grabbed them. I assume those boxes are what I need to make a candle? But I can't find them in her inventory, and not in the household inventory. How am I supposed to know how many "recycle boxes" she got?

She went back home, and she is now able to create one candle. LOL, spending a full night dumpster diving and recycling in order to create one candle that will burn down during 2(?) hours? Hm, I think this first candle shall be kept and never lit :)

Hover over where it shows your money and there is new additions showing "bits and pieces"

You can get both too if your willing to just face getting stung. I just figure my sim is going to get stung anyway. Make sure your bees don't need mite treatment they can't be calmed down if they have mites. Sometimes I let them calm down on their own and sometimes I just go in and handle them a bunch to calm them down. You just get an uncomfortable moodlet but you can take a bath or something to get rid of it. Lol I'm allergic in real it would take a lot more than a bath for me.
Anyway I've got the machine and plenty of wax. My sim doesn't leave the lot enough to dumpster dive so I guess I'll be buying the dyes.

oh, that's where they go. Thanks
