New theme for January/February?
🕑 Added 2021-12-18 11:00:00 +0000 UTCHey guys! I hope you are doing well! Preparing for the holidays, are you excited? I definitely am, our town is like a little North Pole, only Santa's missing :D
Before I head to a small break for the holidays, it's time for one last thing for this year - my favotire part - to pick a theme for the next month!
So, I've prepared 3 themes to choose from:
Honey Production (Overhaul) - This idea came to me recently while I was researching Encaustic Arts (a technique which include wax-based paint and pigment being applied to a wood surface). I was thinking that the system for honey we have is very basic. You collect honey and wax and then what? If you don't have Eco Living the wax is not very useful, the money from honey are not too much, and also there are not very many choices. In real life very region in the world have specific honey that is produced.
So I'm thinking of reworking the honey production. You will be able to gather raw honey which will then be transform with honey press for production of different types of honey (ex. Orange-Blossom Honey, Manuka Honey, Sunflower Honey). Each type will be priced differently, depending on their commonality. I will make Mead Brewer (off-the-grid) so with the produced honey you can make different types of Mead and sell it (or consume it). The wax can be used to wax the cheese from the Dairy Churn and maybe (there will be a poll for it) Encaustic hobby. I also plan to create base game compatible option for collection of wild honey.
Pyrography - This is an art that involves burning the surface of wood to create a pattern or picture. This idea has been in my head since the begining of Sims because I really love the easel. I plan on creating not only wood planks but wooden coasters and chopping boards, like this will have a variety of artistic objects. And electric wire-nib burner, I will try my best to create a custom animation to be more accurate the activity also it will have it's own skill.
Beadwork - is the art or craft of attaching beads to one another by stringing them onto a thread or thin wire. I saw the deco weaving loom from Nifty Knitting and thouth it would be perfect for beadworking (adding it some purpose). It will have skill and with each skill more designs will be unlocked. Including making small figures from beads.
I will be taking a break for the holidays so I wanted to wish you warm and filled with joy Christmas celebration and prosperous new year!

Yes! It will fit perfect with the pyrography hobby. I will definitely be returning these topics forward in the future.

Thank you!

Love all the ideas. If you ever do do the pyrography one will it require wood as an ingredient? It would be nice to use Mirai's "not your regular decor tree" collected wood with it
