Eco Lifestyle Question Thread
Hey Simmers, I’m sure many of y’all are diving deep into eco lifestyle. I know I am having a blast and coming up for air was hard. I thought I could create a thread where we could ask and answer each...

I have a few questions:
How do I get compost? My Sim generates barely any trash, so no compostables either.
How do I get my crickets' health up? They are fed and nurtured but their health is declining :(
What's the point of The Trouble With Plants? Is it really just for show?!
And where do I get wax for candle making?
I feel like such a noob for asking these questions, but I really can't figure it out :')
My sim found some compost from the dumpster in the landfill lot in the port. Not sure if it's tied to the landfill trait or you just need to dumpster dive a few times for the option to come up. There's also an option of upgrade for the toilets to become compostable.
You can get wax from the soy plant, and the bees box. Haven't tried but I think you may be able to also order it online like other ingredients.
I have questions about insects, too. On my first try, my grubs generated eco-fuel and grub meal. Once I chose to collect the eco-fuel, the grub meal was no longer available. Well, okay, one or the other, I thought. However, after that, they started to decline and never produced any more fuel or meal. So, I cleaned out the insect house and started a new grub farm, but the grubs never produced anything and eventually died. (Fed and nurtured.) I bought three more insect farms because I needed to collect grub meal three times for the creative-maker aspiration, and all followed the same trajectory of producing grub meal-eco fuel once and then dying. The box says they're 'ready to collect', but there are no options other than 'nurture' or 'clean out insect house' (which removes all the insects).
Watch out for that composting toilet - you need to have an insect farm, or the toilet explodes into flames. I'm not sure how it works with the insect farm, as I had deleted the toilet and replaced it due to Fire!!! before I bought the insect farm, and wasn't brave enough to try again.
And yes, you can buy wax from the candle-making table.
