What this mod gives you?

This mod will bring back a memory from the past, an exciting functional object from the time of Sims 2 - the Toy Making Bench, improved and optimized with a custom skill, a bunch of different craftables, and different ways to sell your products!

Functional Object

You can find Toy Making Bench by typing 'Toy Making' in the search bar or under indoor activities/hobbies/ activities (creative).

It costs 725$

And it comes in 2 colors (recolors allowed, do NOT include the mesh).

Interactions on the bench

You can craft different toys or admire the newly-bought bench. The bench is working Off-The-Grid and it's unbreakable.

Custom Skill

Brand new skill - Toy Making, it includes 10 levels, and it is gained by reading skill books (can be bought from the bookshelf or computer) and crafting items on the Toy Making Bench.

At level 5 of the skill, a new interaction is unlocked on the products - Sell To Toys Collector.

At level 10, another interaction is unlocked Sell To Toys Store.

Another specifics includes custom skill icon, and has custom thought bubbles when reading the skill books. The crafting animations are the same from the woodworking table. (Mirai told me that in the Sims 2 the animation was close to this one so I kept it, since I wasn't sure what other would fit this type of crafting).

If you have get together, toy making is also a Club Activity option, and if you have Seasons, there are also holidays.

With each skill level more and more craftables are unlocked on the station.

Custom preference - your Sim can have a preference towards toy making, you can choose it in Create-A-Sim under Hobby category, or leave the faith to decide.

Craftable Items

There are 40 different craftables!

Which are mixture of my own designs, sims 4 existing toys, sims 2 and sims 3 conversions and a few bought designs from Sketchfab.

12 of the toys require pandasama's tuning, so make sure to download their toys, if you don't have them already (at the bottom of the page chewck the reference)!

Each craftable require certain level of skill and an optional ingredient to be produced.

Cottage Living Wool, My Cotton Yarns, or Mirai's Logs

Craftables:

L1: Small wooden toys

L2: Colored wooden toys

L3: Woven toys

L4: Plush toys

L5: Hanoi Tower, Teddy Bear

L6: Small Dollhouse

L7: Commersial Toys

L8: Play Phone, Xylophones and Drums (use the xylophone tuning)

L9: Rocking Horses, Toy Kitchen and Large Dollhouse

L10: Spring Horses

Once your Sim finish crafting the objects will directly go in your Sim's inventory, the ones that require pandasama's tuning will be found in the household inventory. Then you can drag them and place them wherever you want. You can enlist the products on Plopsy

(except the ones that require pandasama's tuning), sell them through my custom interactions (added a script to be able to sell the toys that require pandasama's tuning as well, note that the option to sell will show up on all items that contain this tuning, not only the items from the crafting station, since the interaction is injected in the tuning id, not in the objects itself) or decorate your child sim room. All toys are still fully functional, so children can still play with them.

REQUIREMENTS:

BASE GAME

Pandasama's rocking horse, telephone, xylophone and rock-a-stack, play kitchen

KNOWN ISSUE:

The large plush bear can not be placed inside the lot, I literally tried everything to lift the toy as far as possible from the ground, but it still says it inserts the floor or ceiling, you need to use bb.moveobjects on to place it in the house.
