Creation of a new category, less text to more intuitively find the objects you want to create

Making bamboo furniture now increases your Fun motivation gauge, since on a desert island you have to find something to occupy your mind anyway. Which will allow you to achieve a positive state of mind with controlled emotions if you have the Snowy Escape expansion.
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.

Just want to thank you so so much for your hard work and effort! Your creations are awesome :3 I am completely obsessed with the topic of survival, so these are a real find for me!

Did you pre-download the objects? The Bamboo Challenge mod won't work on its own; you must download the 'Counter,' 'chair,' and similar objects for them to show up.

I've been playing with this lately and it's been a fun time! Sadly I just ran into my first issue, which is that I tried to make a counter but it doesn't appear in the sim's inventory nor the family inventory. Other furniture seem to work, but the counter doesn't appear. I can access it in buy mode, so I do have the counter in my game.

Hello without Strangerville the mod does not work. However you can still find the bamboo furniture in the game's purchase catalog
Sabine Groenen
Can I use it to build on a normal workbench? I probably cant construct anything using the bamboo bundles, because I don't own strangerville
Bianca
Thanks so much for sharing this; great mod! Have you considered the possibility of making this use a picker menu? I think you might have to rework it to make use of the crafting classes and recipes, but that would make this so much easier to use, since it would show the thumbnail images and allow you to set skill levels for crafting different items, etc.

You're welcome. It was a good idea that was easily achievable
