About this mod
Ever wondered what's inside that bottomless bin that easily takes 999 bottles of wine? Well, this spooky season you might just find out!? Now includes the Mini-Me version and a full suite of custom sounds.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
This mod replaces the default vanilla shipping bin, it's animations, and sounds(!) with a rather toothy mimic.
It was originally created as an entry for the Spirit's Eve Event Mod Contest on the official SDV Discord Server
RETEXTURES
Replacement textures are available for the main Farm Shipping Bin, the Island Shipping Bin, and the Mini-Shipping Bin.
RECOLORS
You can now choose between Vanilla and 3 additional ones which should blend well with: Earthy, Vibrant Pastoral, and Starblue.
CUSTOM SOUNDS
Thanks to mushymato's C# magic the Mimic now comes with it's own, and completely independent set of custom sounds!
Each bin (Farm, Island, and Mini) come with it's own open, close, and drop-item sounds.
CONFIGURATION
As of version 1.2 there are more configuration settings available, so you can set it up exactly to your liking:
Enabling / Disabling textures individually: you can now choose to enable or disable each of the three bins independently
Choosing Recolors: each of the three bins has an independent recolor setting, so if you like gentle Earthy tones in town, but vibrant or vanilla on the island, that is now entirely possible to set up
Enabling / Disabling Custom Sounds: each of the three bins comes with independent set of custom sounds, which can be disabled if you prefer. If you'd rather remove individual sfx you will need to adjust the mod content json file and remove the sfx from there - DO NOT delete the sfx file itself, as that will cause errors! Please feel free to leave a comment or reach out on the main SDV Discord if you need some guidance on how to do it.
!! IMPORTANT !!
All custom sounds need mushymato's CueSwap Mod so please make sure to download it!
Any changes to the sound configuration (enabling / disabling) needs a FULL GAME RESTART (so sleep to save, exist to Desktop, and launch the game again) before it takes effect! This is a Vanilla game limitation due to when the custom sounds are loaded into the game.
As always, I strongly recommend using Generic Mod Config Menu to manage the mod configuration

The AT version update should be coming within the next few days, and will contain a few small bugfixes and a new craftable retexture for the Mini-Shipping Bin and two extra recolors (Vibrant Pastoral and Starblue). For the current version please make sure to purchase the paint bucket from Robin and left click on the shipping bin with it to view the available textures
I admit, I didn't think I'd get so attached to the whole concept of the Mimic as the Farm Shipping Bin... but I did! As of now I have at least a few features lined up that I plan to add to the mod over time, and those will include:
> AT textures and recolors update
> Idle animations that will occur throughout the day/night (thanks to artemi7 in the comments for the "Discworld Luggage" idea!)
> Seasonal textures and animations
> Seasonal sounds and easter egg jingles
> NPC chat topics about the mysterious bite-like marks on Lewis' hands...
> ...and... possibly a little bit of a backstory... (!?)
Do you have any other suggestions or unhinged ideas? Feel free to share them - this has been a extremely fun project so far and a great learning experience so I'm planning to keep it going for a while! Have fun and report any issues in the bugs area and make sure to include the SMAPI log.
