Functional Mill Additions
🕑 Added 2023-02-16 17:15:51 +0000 UTCSort of a follow-up from the off the grid rustic gameplay question I asked previously.
I have been meaning to separate out some of the mill products and make separate objects - spice grinder, diary , cheese maker, oil maker ( oil press ?), windmill, etc. Everything will be off the grid compatible. I will keep the main mill object - both industrial and rustic versions as a central hub for all the craftables.
What do you guys think of this ?
What type of mill like objects will fit into modern as well as rustic gameplay ?

oh and a fish smoker so you can dry the fish you catch
MunMun
That is such a good idea!

Maybe a dehydrator, you could have dried fruit, jerky etc. With how many fruits you've added to game the possibilities are endless!!!

I have a cheesemakerbin the works...lots of cheeses have already in the plan. I am still deciding on the look of the maker š I was wondering whether I can make a mordern as well as rustic version

Cheese maker that makes different kinds of cheeses that you can also use in recipes. theres a mod like that but not cheese maker
MunMun
Oo that is interesting!

I was thinking more of the ratchet-style basket wine press variety (looks kinda like a butter churn). Nice and compact for those tiny home lots. š š
Boum
Thank you š
MunMun
Definitely!
MunMun
Similar to the nectar maker or something different?
Boum
Could a juicer (apple juice, grape juice, goyave juice, sugarcane juice) could be a possible thing for you?
Vickadee1989
Not sure how feasible it is but a wine press would be pretty cool.

love your ideas cant wait play with it

I have plans for different types of butter! Nut and other plant butters as well as flavoured butter.

Similarly, adding herbs or fruits or even certain flowers to things like butter and cream cheese could be another interesting thing for the mill to do! I like making lemon zest and lavender butter for crumpets and brioche, and one of my friends loves making cream cheese with rose to go with their candied ginger muffins.
MunMun
I have plans for many variety of cheese! The flavoured cheese is a very good idea!

I'm not sure how much extra stuff you are interested in making, but I would love a special cheese maker, where your sims could make different types of cheese, or flavor cheese. Like, imagine adding garlic, herbs or nuts to cheese... Could work well with the herb garden. taking a few cuttings from there to add to whatever cheese your sim is making
MunMun
Yes! I have updated some of the older recipes after cottage living. Will do the rest definitely
Ungkarn Mackenzie
Yes love this!!!
Tedri Thorne
If you did a spice grinder you could make a mechanical version for modern play and a mortar and pestle for more old fashioned play!
Denise Curtis
Butter churn, to start with. Able to ground up apples for applesauce
Mendota Kelly
I love all these ideas! What I would like, when you have time is a redo of all the foods that use raw ingredients such as wheat and rice to use the ground mill products instead. Also, I would really like cornmeal as a mill option from corn.
Cassandra Martinez
Yes!!!
Nika
I really love this idea!
MunMun
Definitely sesame oil. But Lavender oil will be made with a seperate flower press-essential oil extractor object which i will make later! So many stuff to make lol

I might even mention .... IRL I grow fruit to make wine to make vinegar. Translated into Sim world this would mean 3 pears to make a bottle of pear nectar and then x number of pear nectars to make a bottle of pear vinegar which may or may not require an additional dash of sugar or honey to then be consumed as is (buffs depending on the original ingredient) or used for salads or other recipes (perhaps as a SCCO any vinegar?) ...

I'd love to have them separated!
Christiane Feit
Oh my goodness, you really opened a can of veggies there :-) I'm always looking for things to do with all of your wonderful herbs and fruits and whatnot! Curd with chives, with celery, with garlic, with an herb mix or sweet with cherries or any other fruit, what have you (perfect on your challa bread). Same goes for your creamcheese. Nutmeg. Judging by the amount of nutmeg I put in my sauces and soups IRL I certainly miss ground (milled) nutmeg for my Sim kitchen. Spice grinder, you say? Black pepper, chilies, bell peppers of all varieties. Which might require some kind of drying/parching step. Which would also go well with all of the herbs... Now I'm hungry :-)
Christiane Feit
I love the oil press. What do you think about olive or sesame oil? Or maybe lavender or grape seed oil to use with soap making?
barbazooka
That's a fantastic idea. I love the thought of a windmill for grain-type plants, an oil press and a cheese maker. Not sure if or how a barrel for fermenting food would fit into this (e.g. Sauerkraut or Kimchi) but tossing it out there :-)
Lady D
Sounds amazing. Making different types of cheeses would be great. Seasonal plants and ingredients to make it more realistic.
Sonya Holcomb
Sounds good!
PrincessSimmer13
Love this idea, and idk if you made a butter churn in mill products, but I think that counts as rustic
msphoenixnoire
Iām betting something to grind rice and wheat would be very helpful no matter the play type.
Gabrielle Armstrong
I love this idea!
Tiffany Edmonds
This is great, especially the spice grinder and oil maker/press as separate pieces.
CJ
Absolutely love this idea. I love your crafting items for my off the grid self-sustaining Sim.
