"Diverse Deals" v 1.03.1 -- More Dumpster Diving Items!  

This mod is unaffected by the Infants patch and is safe to use! I've been on hiatus from Sims stuff for a while but will update it for Infant object support in the future.

So as of lately, I have been playing a challenge I had created where my Sim can only furnish the lot using stuff they've crafted or gotten from dumpsters, and I often spent hours at a time grinding the latter.

But the problem is that some of the items I had actually wanted or would've liked either weren't available from Diving for Deals, had extremely limited options in regards to crafting, or couldn't be crafted at all. It made no sense that you could obtain high-end televisions, refrigerators, and expensive beds from dumpster diving, but heaven forbid you needed a new rug to bring your questionably-sourced living room together, or even a good book to curl up with and get lost in its disgusting, filth-caked pages.

I had also tried searching for any similar mods, but my efforts were ultimately fruitless.To remedy this hyper-specific gap that needed filling, I decided to take up modding the game, and after much wrangling and asking questions, Diverse Deals was created!

But what does this mod actually do?

In short: Diverse Deals adds a larger pool of items obtainable from the Dumpster by selecting "Dive for Deals". Beware--like most things, the items you get may be broken or damaged! The mod also features cross-compatibility with some other DLC, and as such, if you own them, there's a chance your Sim may get lucky and save certain pack items from becoming landfill!

Here's a list of items you can now get from dumpsters if you only have base game/Eco. Open the Spoiler to view them:

• Rugs
• Curtains/window coverings
• Bars
• Most books incl. Vampire Tomes (Vampires)
• Ceiling items

  ...and more!
