Eco Workshop Upgrades
There is more information about how the Eco Workshop works on the Eco Workshop Venue FAQ blog post.
Watch this walkthrough by @rachybop It is very helpful 🙂
Hello everyone!
It is normal for players who have a lot of items already to get items to craft that they already have. In my case I got the baskatball court and a Christmas decoration. There are items that can repeat, others that only pop up once.
Next project reset is Sunday night til Monday (midnight), so we will have new projects every Monday.
As it's been already posted here by one of you, materials we put into projects will be lost if we don't complete crafting the item. So, it's better to keep sending our Sim to do shifts and store materials. Remember to check out the calender as different materials are available each day of the week. Sunday is the best day as normally all three type of materials are available at the workshop.
What projects do you have this week?
@SalixCatTyvm SalixCat and hello😊!
I have the luxury wallflag and the halloween gravestone..and i got both allready..its np we will also get new stuff..takes a bitter longer for us then 😁😚
And they gonna add more stuff i know.
It just started.
With the materials i know right...
I am soon on stage three.
Thanks for the fast answer!
@jayivy666Sorry in the last post I says infant. It's keyboard typos. Never meant for it. I wanna say is instantly.
You will prevail as always
I loved when the devs really moving the sims 4 resources here!
I wish that duplicates is a tiny bits too
@SalixCatnow my projects were "Praise the Sun Gnome" and "Traditional Menorah".
I found my space for materials is at limit. If confidence enough finish the project better deposit it. We need good strategy in materials management here. Be sure to check your material storage before finishing workshop event.How about the project slot unlock? When already unlocked, it's not locked when project refreshes, right?The refresh time of workshop event is same amount. I wonder if it decreases as the level goes up.
Edit: Is LlamaZoom the only way to get tokens ingame? Other than buy with pack?
Tips:
🍀 It's better finish your Llama Zoom first to get tokens to upgrade workshop if available, so you get the benefit first before starting workshop event.I mistakenly start it with lv 1 and those are worst workshop nightmare. No risky action available and every actions is requiring 5 energy in the workshop. *This is how Workshop event truly are*
🍀 LlamaZoom quickly finished within hour with all sim in relationship mode. It's ok to do this right?
*Cheers
*Stay Healthy
@SalixCatI have read it through. I'm won't make you regret to make the post. 😁✌️ Is the refresh time of the workshop event reduced as we leveled up? As I try finish the event with Lv 1, the refresh is 8h.Maybe too early to ask that.
*Cool down time is 4h*
I watch Arsen post; She says "Maybe we could recycle our items there, but not yet." Another spoiler maybe? Lol
That's quite feature we have to replacing selling items.
Edit:
Anyway, My Packs of Eco is only showing 2 packs (starter and upgrade 1).There should be 7 packs (6 upgrades + 1 starter) right?I should buy both first to get other (another upgrades 2~6) ?
🆕Should not buy the starter (just reread. My bad. Sorry), my workshop now is lv 2 but no upgrade pack 2. Pack 1 is done.
*This happens when some errors occurs about premium lot lot and have been fixed*
*Cheers
@SalixCat Do the resources that we earn ever expire?
Is it possible for me to save up a bunch of tokens for when something I really want becomes available? Like, for instance, I still don't have a bubble blower and I want to make sure that if it becomes available that I'll have all the resources I need to finish it in time.
@thecakeisaLIE82I understood that you can store a bunch of them. Like all tokens.. But when you put it in a project and will not finish it then you will loose them. But let us see what Cat will answer i am also not 100 % sure.
I also would like to save them because i have the most stuff. I think this works.

@jayivy666 I'm surely positive it will be vanished if you deposit and not finished the project after refreshes. 🥂
Edit:
LlamaZoom is changing a bit. Where do you see the remaining time? Is it no more time limit?
*This is fixed too*
@lmnmst same for me, I don't see the remaining time of Lamazoom.
The game is bugged as usual. I unlocked Phase 2 Part 3 of the workshop, that should have reduced the time of the Eco Workshop shift from 8 to 7 hours.
Well, the time of the workshift is still 7:37 h, exactly like yesterday.
Why should I play this Eco Workshop thing? I don't get the advantages and also it seems to me impossible to collect all the tools that you need to win all the 4 prizes. Maybe I can win 1 out of 4.
@lmnmst The timer was not visible but still running at the background. That bug has been fixed now.
@kg122cin3h6t could you please post some screenshots?
Have you unlocked all four project slots? It might be difficult for you to complete all the projects when your workshop is at fase 2. Probably best to choose 1.
@lmnmstHello! 😊
Okay let us all chill 😂off course it is all a bit confusing.
I will try to save up the tokens and will tell you on monday if this works.
And we have every 4 -5 weeks an update . They will fix the bugs.
I want to say something positive anyways that i am also confused and still have some questions.
I think the idea of this craftiings is good. And i think it is not so hard like it looks atm.
I will correct myself if i am wrong then..lol.
The menu is pretty nice made and when all bugs are fixed, and you once did upgrade your shop to a higher stage, you will be succesfully in crafting. And then the real fun starts. I think before you have to run and run and collect these green stuff. 😂💖
Pretty sure it will!
I also thought wow now i need to wait and first collect the green ressource tokens from Lama Zoom.
And wow that is a lot simcash to unlock it.
This is a concept where you need patience to get your Sms ecofriendly i am guessing. Skill up means more win. (Stages Upgrade)
The stoge is yoyr tool to teach yoyr Sims evonimic liestyle.
But like i said..from stage to stage you will have more success.
This is someting pretty new to this App Game and it needs a chance to get work.
I can not tell atm iany experience on crafting because i am waiting for an item what i do not have yet. But i am sure it looks harder then it will be right now because we are not even on stage 4 atm...you know.
And it is to early ...we need to skill up and find it out.
And i agree that it would be nice if somebody who crafted stuff would tell his/her experience here on monday.
We can play skill up and then help each other with talking about experience then.
But i think it is to early.
Probably it really get interestung once you entered stage 3, 4 and stage 5 and so on.
Greetings 😊
@kg122cin3h6tas @SalixCat confirmed and now fixed. Now the time is showing again! 🥳
Please do one project at a time.🙇♂️
If your storage if full you could deposit to the project so You could do more workshop event.
It's like a real job we work to get the items in the project. It will shown another item in projects after refresh at Monday. Make sure Your plan is able to do before the refresh. Or if you have plenty simcash you could ask help from Knox or repeat the workshop event with simcash.
It's just other possibilities. Any way is your delight.I wish the resources progress on the project not vanished after refresh. Maybe the project still there after refresh. We haven't trough that. Let's see after the first weekly refresh. 🤐
*Explained HERE (Link) *
@JustJazzy81just adding a bit to @SalixCat; tokens is available from packs too or buy with simcash when upgrading.
Don't be confused, just take a deep breath and re read the post. ☕
@jayivy666LOL I am chill 😖
Tokens (the hulk things) should be disposed when available to get more benefits from workshop.
Those WS event any action need 5 energy and no risky action. It's like sucking my energy dry. 🙀
When we look at the upgrade list, it's all benefit us. It takes weeks to get lv 5 without simcash. Slow pace here.I really can't wait for those Monday Experience! 🥳
*Cheers
*Stay Healthy
@JustJazzy81I'll try to make it in a nutshell.
Hope that sums all the questions. Please if there's any more questions, you are welcome.
*Cheers
*Stay Healthy
@lmnmstI hope that the rare stuff not stays at 1000 and 2000 ressource tokens to unlock.
I hope this changes during the upgrade of the stages.
🙄
Hoooooopefully if not we have to save ages just to unlock them. Lol..and then you still need to craft them .
A bit mean 😁😁😁😁
....okay lets see how this works untill monday..then we all will be smarter.
@lmnmst @jayivy666 @JustJazzy81
You will find information here

@SalixCatThanks for the pointed! Really helps. It should answered there. First time read that was a quick. Now I should read much slower. 🥺🤭
Edit:
They say that the cool down of shift is 4h. Is it the max lv state? We only get 8h cool down for now.
*Cool down of workshop event is 4h as explained Here (link) *
*Cheers
@lmnmstWe will see this . Now Lamazoom is a way more important.
That is good 😁
And imagine it would be too easy...a game like sims mobile allways had life because of its rare items.
It would be too boring if you would get all easy.
We had to play a lot of events to get all the items we are having now.
So this is a balance...
But i think Lama Zoom should give like 80 RT or 100 ! Seriously! 💖
A few more would be nice.
@SalixCatThanks i did read all the informations.
The rest we have to find out for ourselfs like allways 😊💖
Learning by doing and helping each other.
@jayivy666 Whatch @rachybop 's walkthrough. It is very helpful.
