Bugs begone!
I know you can reduce the probability of bugs with ladybug houses, but I think they look weird and out of place in most gardens. I don't mind them for fruit trees, but to me they look really strange with ground-type plants. I set out to find a mod that prevented bugs, but could not find any so I went ahead and made one myself. Now my Sims can grow their crops in whatever setup they want and not have to worry about bugs!
What is this?
This is a global mod that stops Season harvestable plants and trees from becoming infected with bugs.
It comes in three versions.
No bugs - No bugs on ground plants or fruit trees
Plants only - Only stops bugs on ground plants, does not stop them for fruit trees
Trees only - Only stops the bugs on fruit trees, does not stop them for ground plants
I know there are some custom crops out there but I don't use any of them myself so I'm not sure if they get bugs. If they do, they might be affected by this mod, it depends on how they were made. If anyone uses them and can report back I would be most grateful.
Known issues
The first version of this mod made previously planted ground plants in my hood go through some kind of reset, their appearance went back to the first plant stage and their quality reset to yellow. I have since changed how this is coded, and I could not replicate that effect in any of my testing, so I'm fairly certain it won't affect previously planted crops any more. But I wanted to mention it any way. If you have a ton of planted crops in your game that you would be very sad to see reset, perhaps consider making a back up before adding this mod in case it resets them. It shouldn't affect them, but better safe than sorry.
Compatibility
Requires Seasons. Compatible with all EPs after Seasons.
Conflicts
Conflicts with antigardenlag by Pescado, which stops lag from bug visual. Since this stops bugs from appearing there's no need to have it. If you use of the versions that only stops bugs on one type of plant, you can use both but make sure mine loads after.
Does not conflict with twojeff's perfect gardens.
Will only conflict with mods that affect bug logic, and all conflicts should appear in HCDU. If you should find a conflict, please let me know.
Credits
Honeywell for the wonderful planters you see in the thumbnail, which allows some variety in how you grow your crops. You'll find them in her Patio and Garden Set, one of my all time favorite buy mode sets.
gdayars and Karen Lorraine for feedback on the thumbnail.
Not so much a credit as an observation that this is my 30th mod upload on MTS, uploaded a day after the 4 year anniversary of my first mod upload. Four years and 30 uploads later here we are, how exciting :lovestruc

About Me
--- No longer sharing content on MTS ---
I hope to return one day but for now consider me retired, and my uploads unsupported. I still share things sometimes on tumblr and I chat on discord servers, but I do not promise support for things I've shared as I don't know when or if I'm around and whether or not I'll have the ability and energy to do something if I am around.
If you ever downloaded something of mine, thank you! It's a great feeling seeing something you spent time on be useful to someone else in their game, and with all the great CC out there I'm very flattered you would choose to get something of mine.
I do not take requests. I do sometimes make things for people, but only when I see someone wishing for something on the forums and I feel like making it for them. So if you have a mod you wish would exist, make a post in Hacks and CC that you'd like to see!-thread. That's what it's there for after all! :)
A shoutout to VioletPadfoot for inspiring me to try creating, long ago. You gave me the nudge that got me started, and I'm very grateful. I'd also like to thank all of the wonderful experienced creators (gdayars, justJones, maybesomethingdunno, NixNivis, whoward69, HugeLunatic and many more) out there that wrote the tutorials I've used, or that has answered my questions when I've gotten stuck. You guys are what makes learning fun, and what inspires me to keep expanding my knowledge with new projects. Special thanks to Michelle who has helped me a lot when it comes to objects and recolors, and BoilingOil who taught me some modding basics that I needed when I started modding more seriously.
Policy
My policy is now open. I'd appreciate a message telling me about your work, because it's fun for me to see, and it means I know about it and can refer others to it if they reach out. As much as I would like to provide support for my own work, my health is too unstable and I have to prioritize. So if anyone else would like to fix problems or continue something and share it with others, that's great go forth :) If you can learn from my work or improve on it, wonderful. Welcome to ask questions on crafters, if I can I'll answer.
I'd appreciate if people do not share default replacements from my stuff as I do not like default replacements, but I can't stop you anyway so no point in acting like I could. If you want to respect my wishes, I appreciate it, if you don't care then well nothing I can do about it.
Other sites
Only share content on tumblr now. Still retired though so probably nothing, but if something new comes out, that's where it'll be. You can find it linked here on my profile.
