This mod introduces silkworm farming into the game. Instead of being a simple decorative object, it’s a functional station where Sims can care for silkworms, harvest silk, and process it into usable crafting materials. Like Pied Piper’s other mods, it ties gardening/crafting into a larger “realistic living” system.
Main Features
Silkworm Farm Object – A functional enclosure where Sims can raise silkworms.
Care Interactions – Sims need to feed and maintain the silkworms (usually with mulberry leaves if paired with Pied Piper’s mulberry harvestable, but sometimes with generic resources if not installed).
Silk Production – Over time, the silkworms generate raw silk, which Sims can harvest.
Processing – The raw silk can be spun into silk thread or fiber, used as a crafting material.
Crafting Integration – The silk products often tie into Pied Piper’s other crafting systems (like cotton or dyeing), and can be used for homemade textiles, clothes, or decorative recipes if you have compatible mods.
Gameplay Role
- Fits seamlessly with farming and homesteading gameplay, especially when combined with Pied Piper’s cotton, spices, and functional grinder.
- Adds a unique type of farming beyond plants — animal-based resource gathering, but in a subtle, non-livestock way.
- Silk becomes a tradeable resource for Sims who enjoy roleplay around cottagecore, medieval, or eco-lifestyle gameplay.
- Works as a standalone but is best when paired with Pied Piper’s other harvestables and crafting mods.
- Mesh and animations are simple but functional; the focus is on gameplay rather than heavy visual detail.
- May add multiple inventory items (raw silk, silk thread), so inventory management mods are recommended if you use a lot of Pied Piper content.
Editor's Note:
The Functional Silk Farm gives Sims a way to produce silk through silkworms, expanding crafting and farming beyond plants into textile production, which ties beautifully into Pied Piper’s broader “realism economy” system.
