Making bamboo furniture also increases your crafting skills. Fabrication skill if you have Eco LifeStyle Extension and Handiness skill.

Hello Castaways

You are failing on a desert island.

I hope you appreciate this mod which took me more than a month of creation.

In order to best prepare your experience. Check that you have the extension "Horse Ranch" and "Jungle Adventures".

The purpose of this mod is to avoid going through the purchase mod as much as possible to obtain bamboo furniture while managing resources and a limited time for your shipwrecked linked to bamboo growth.

This mod brings a new harvestable resource that is bamboo.

Like wild wheat and sugar cane, I invite you to prepare your land by placing the bamboo bushes before.

Only bamboo furniture can be created with this resource, it is normal not to be able to create everything that is not in bamboo you will always have to use the buy mod for the other furniture.

Your shipwrecked sims must now cut the bamboo bushes for more realism.

Bamboo bushes grow regularly and depending on their growth stage, they will more or less give you a quantity of bundles of bamboo.

Depending on the quantity of Bundles of bamboo in your inventory and the size of furniture, the creation of furniture will necess a more or less significant amount of resources.

You will have to make strategic choices for your survival and do not exhaust your bamboo bushes too quickly.

The Sims assemble the bamboo on the ground with a new animation.

Although still available in purchase mode. The item can now be created from Bamboo, be transportable in the Sims inventory and be freely moved with the Livedrag on the lot.

The harvested bamboo being fresh, all the furniture created will be green in color for more realism. It's up to you to choose after as usual with the purchase mod to change its color.
