FUNCTIONAL WATER PUMP
Update 25.07.21 -
1. Updated for Cottage Living
2 . Chage in how water bucket is used -
- While showering or bathing, giving toodlers or pets a bath - if the water bucket is in your sim's inventory, then you can click on the bucket to use collected water --> boost to water utility production ( reduction in bill) [Eco Living Functionality]
- Now water is required for only off the grid actions on shower, tub , sink and toilet ( and thus is available only on off the grid compatible plumbing)
- Use water to replace the water in the washing tub
I have removed the other overrides because it was a very clumsy way to approach this mod. I will add more uses fro water to the mod.

ReplyDeleteThis is cool! If I put this in game, does it make so that I have use the pump in order for my Sims to bathe/shower?
ReplyDeleteYep if you use the override files
Deleteoh we must pay
ReplyDeleteIt becomes available for everybody on 18th May
DeleteI hope in the future you manage time to update this to the Eco pack. I am definitely looking forward to use this mod in my game :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your awesome mods!!
I will!
DeleteLooking forward to the Eco update as well!! :D
DeleteYour water pump no longer shows up in game, so I guess it's broken. :(
ReplyDeleteEarlier I said the water pump wasn't working. However, I'm a moron. I forgot to turn on my scripts after updating. Water pump is still there, I'm just a f*cking idiot. Sorry, and thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi! Could someone please explain me how to install this?
ReplyDeleteHi just drop the package in your mods folder. Dont use the override package..that is outdated
DeleteThanks, I asked because the first time I didn't see the package. Now I saw it. Thanks
DeleteHello does this support the off the grid lot trait. Tanks for this mod

ReplyDeleteWhat can my sim do with the brakish water? I have several of them piling up in their inventories?
ReplyDeleteThis mod is brilliant, but It's looks radiculus, when you must take water from pump in ultra moder mansion. Please, make this needed only if lot is not connected.
ReplyDeleteRainwater pump and tank maintenance are carried out regularly, problems can arise. Read our latest blog to learn all about Rainwater Tank Pump maintenance.
ReplyDeleteMany features benefit from having a free high quality water source through a rainwater tank pump in the home. Problems can arise What is frustrating is that these problems can be avoided. If maintenance is a priority Some problems include poor water pressure, poor water quality, insect contamination, blockages (which can limit or stop water flow), and pump failure.
