So I love the idea of this mod! It's super great! However, I'm having an issue planting on the game's planting plot itself. I drag out 2 plot places and then have no options to plant on them. I buy the seeds from the store in a community lot and have them in my inventory. Strawberries and pumpkins. Still can't plant them! Is it level based? I can't do anything with the seeds either. So I'm not sure if I'm missing something here. I installed everything correctly and checked for conflicts. The only thing it's conflicting with is the zzPatch_inconvenientGardening-plots_PlantingOverhaul.package file. So should I remove that? Or? Thank you in advance.

Hi, thanks so much for this I downloaded the "gimmie everything" last night and put it into my downloads folder (grabbed the custom seeds too). However, none of my sims can interact or buy seeds from the stand on a community lot. The interaction for social doesn't work either.

I ran HDCU+ and it found no conflicts.

I currently have it in a load first Mod folder - I've had it with the garden items, I've moved it from mod folder to mod folder to test load order, I tried sending sims with various levels of badges to buy the seeds. I tried planting seeds (with it installed) the old fashioned way to see if it was registering and it does pick up that you can only fertilize the plot not plant a seed (as they don't have any). I've gone through folders to see if I had a sneaky mod tucked away that was causing a conflict. I am actually stumped as to what could be causing this? any ideas. I'm sure its something simple on my end but I can't seem to figure it out.

EDIT: I spent all evening trying to figure it out. Created a vanilla game and started dropping one by one mods. The mods are fine, no conflicts there I can buy seeds and fertilizer. I was wondering if it was the mod I had to create longer seasons, but that works. So now its an item i have to track down in the thousands of items in my download folder.

EDIT 2: So after going through my entire downloads folder and testing, it works if placed on a pre-made lot, but if I try to put it on a sim owned business no one can interact with it. Am I missing something? I really wanted to have my sim own a garden centre but it will not work.

@ezeliastarpuff
Planting is based on gardening badge level indeed plants have different requirements
zzPatch_ is supposed to show up as conflict, you need it if you have Nopke's inconvenientGardening-plots

@Reverie86
That's so weird that you can't buy seeds through social interaction or the stand. Those are standalone custom interactions, not overrides that could conflict with another mod. Could be a guid conflict, it would be a rare coincidence, though.

EDIT: Have you set the stand for sale on an owned lot? Like you would with magazine stands

it is weird - I dont care as much about the social as I do the stand.

I just did that and it seems to be working. Silly me has never used a magazine stand on and sim owned business before since I rarely utilize OFB

Sorry you went through all that downloads sorting for nothing, you deserve a hug! As for the social, it works on specific NPCs only: garden club member for regular seeds, witch and matchmaker for special seeds

Ok, I got it figured out. I don't use Nopke's mod, so I don't need the zzPatch. Thank you for the response! Works great now! Yer awesome! Love the avatar, hehe

I love this addition to my game! I've always wondered, would it be possible to make the seeds buyable from the catalog? Maybe from a collection file? In certain challenges I'd love to give my sims some starting seeds without needing a community lot.

Hi @stoleatardis
It is possible to make seeds buyable, you have to edit their OBJDs in SimPE or use a program that recategorizes objects, like Object Relocator, for example

Thank you!! I didn't know the Object Relocator could do that. I appreciate your quick response and all your cool mods!

Hi! The linked suggested mod for simulated sales is a dead link. Do you know of any alternative links?

Great mod by the way

Is there any way that you can make it do that children can purchase the seeds and fertilizer from the stand please? it's really annoying to make an adult buy it then have to gift it all to the child.

Hi @Fearless Butterfly
Can kids buy anything and use cash registers at all?
