Diverse Deals More Dumpster Diving Items

This mod expands the pool of items your Sim can obtain through the Dive for Deals interaction when dumpster diving. It was created to address the frustrating inconsistency where expensive items are readily found, but everyday necessities—like rugs or books—were missing.

Added Items
  • The mod adds a wide variety of purchasable-from-trash items:
  • Rugs, curtains, bars
  • Books (including Vampire tomes), mirrors, more clutter
  • Wall and ceiling items, fireplaces, dollhouses, picnic tables
  • Telescopes, chess tables, exercise equipment, instruments
  • Table lamps, grills, and more
If you own certain expansion packs, your Sim can also occasionally pull out themed items like:
  • Cauldrons, wands, coffins, video game consoles, holiday decorations
  • Thermostats, litter boxes, juice kegs, and other cookware or décor
Why It Stands Out
  • It’s perfect for "Off the Grid" or Rags-to-Riches gameplay, where Sims furnish homes using only found or crafted items.
  • Adds realism and variety, making dumpster diving feel more rewarding and practical.
  • Community feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising its immersion and creative potential.
Gameplay Considerations
  • Some retrieved items may be “broken” or damaged, adding realism and challenge.
  • The mod is generally stable and compatible, but may conflict with other mods modifying the Dive interaction.
  • Users have reported no notable issues following recent patch updates, though one earlier version required a minor tweak in the mod file to restore the Dive option.
