Inventing
With Ambitions, sims get a new skill, Inventing. Using the Scraptastic Workbench, sims can create widgets, toys, big inventions, and robots!
Sims with the Eccentric trait will have an easier time inventing bigger and better objects.
As your sim invents, the Inventing skill and Handiness skill will improve.
Scrap
In order to create inventions, your sim will need scrap. For lazy sims with extra money, scrap can be purchased directly from the Scraptastic Workbench.
Digging for Scrap
Scrap can be gathered from the Junkyard by digging through scrap piles.
Rummaging through trash cans will sometimes yield a few scrap
Detonation
After a few skill points, you will get the option to detonate scrap piles (and pretty much everything else). This can lead to massive amounts of scrap. For example, detonating certain cars has been known to give over 100,000 scrap. Be careful of this, however, because your sim will almost always get fined for the replacement cost of whatever you blew up. Detonating things cannot also lead to chain detonations. This can be a good thing if you set up scrap piles or salvaged items, but careless detonation can lead to brand new objects being destroyed, not too mention your sim!
The Harvester invention is a good item to use when getting ready to collect scrap.
