Trash Goblin Shiny treasures from ancient junk

You run a small goblin workshop where you chip trinkets out of dirt, scrub them clean with a sponge, upcycle them into strange new forms, and sell them to quirky customers. Earnings go into better tools, new gadgets, and a shop you decorate yourself. Gentle, repetitive, and without fail states.

Trash Goblin is worth it if…

  • you like slow shop days built around cleaning, tinkering, and decorating
  • you enjoy matching odd customer requests with the right trinket
  • you want progress without pressure, timers, or fail states
  • you like collecting, with hundreds of trinkets and colour combinations to find

Chip out trinkets and scrub them clean

Each day starts with lumps of dirt and cruft. You chip away at different types of dirt that break apart in different ways, then take the sponge to whatever strange curio was hiding inside.

It is hands-on work across four trinket-care minigames, and tools like the soak tub or coffee pot take some of the effort off your hands. You buy and upgrade those tools over time, and unlock more room to work in. The loop stays calm and steady: find, clean, ready for sale.

Upcycle curios into something stranger

Clean trinkets are only the start. You combine trinkets together to build odd new items, then use Hugh to pull materials from one piece and apply the colour to another until the look is right.

With hundreds of trinkets and accessories and thousands of combinations, filling requests becomes a matching puzzle: what parts, what colours, what will a particular browser actually buy. A display mat lets you tempt customers with specific wares, and unwanted pieces can go in the honesty box.

Sell to odd customers and grow the shop

A parade of 40 named characters plus endless randomised browsers comes through your store across four locations. Some want a particular object, some have stories to tell across 120 quests and 20 hours of story content, others just look around.

There is a gentle limit to what you can do each day, but customers return and pottering is allowed. Spend savings on shelves, storage, plants, wallpaper, and bedclothes, and arrange the space however you like.

What else should sim fans know?

What can you upgrade?

Tools for the four trinket-care minigames, plus workshop gadgets such as the coffee pot, soak tub, display mat, and honesty box. You also unlock more working space and add shelves and storage, then spend a little extra on wallpaper, bedclothes, plants, and shelf displays.

Do customers only buy things?

Buying keeps the till moving, but the 40 named characters also bring quests and ongoing stories. Randomised browsers fill out the days in between, some after something specific and some only looking. Selling in four distinct locations keeps the requests varied.
