The Wooden Throne in The Sims 4 isn’t your typical Build/Buy object—it’s a quirky, event-specific outhouse that players must craft rather than purchase. It’s an essential requirement for completing the Nature’s Calling event’s Week 4 quests, so knowing exactly how to obtain it will save you time and frustration.
What Is the Wooden Throne?
The Wooden Throne is the only true outhouse in The Sims 4. Functionally, it works just like any other toilet, but its rustic design fits perfectly with outdoor or off-grid builds. Unlike standard plumbing fixtures, it cannot be bought directly in Build/Buy mode—you’ll have to craft it at a woodworking table once you’ve unlocked its recipe.

Tip: The Wooden Throne recipe is only available during Week 4 of the Nature’s Calling event, and you must claim it from the event rewards screen before it shows up on your woodworking table.
What You Need to Make the Wooden Throne in Sims 4
Before you can start building, there are a few conditions to meet:
- Own a woodworking table – Any version works, including the base game’s Woodworking Table, the event-exclusive Reclaimed Woodworking Table, or the KraftMatic Woodworking Table 2.0 from the Artist Studio Kit. All perform the same function, so choose your favorite style.
- Unlock the Wooden Throne recipe – This becomes available after completing certain Week 4 tasks in the Nature’s Calling event, such as breaking open the cave and exploring its secrets. You’ll need to claim it from the event rewards screen.
- Reach the required Handiness skill level – Depending on your game update, you’ll need either Level 8 or Level 10 Handiness. You can increase this skill by crafting other furniture, repairing items, or reading Handiness books.
- To avoid issues, aim for Level 8 or higher, and if the recipe still doesn’t appear, keep progressing event tasks and push the skill closer to 10.
- If you prefer shortcuts, cheats like below, which will instantly max it out.
