Gardening for All Seasons (28.03.2024)
This mod will make ALL your gardening plants grow, spawn harvestables, and evolve in ALL seasons!
Version 1.6 is compatible with The Sims 4 version 1.96.365
** I have split the mod into TWO different versions! The original "5am Edition" will cause plants to spawn fruit at 5am like in the default game.
** The NEW "11am Edition" will now spawn fruit at 11am instead of 5am! This will allow you to garden at the Science Lab without need of my Graveyard Shift mod!
** Note: The Cottage Living plant "Nightly Mushroom" was set to spawn at 11PM, I left it the way it was set, rather than change it to 11am.
Note: If you use the 11am edition with my Scientist Career Graveyard Shift mod OR the 5am edition WITHOUT Scientist Career Graveyard Shift, plants will not spawn at the Science Lab.
You should either use GFAS 5am WITH Scientist Career Graveyard Shift or GFAS 11am WITHOUT it.
History
I've always loved the gardening feature of The Sims 4. It always had so many uses! Food ingredients for cooking, flowers for romantic gifts, dates, and laundry, Dragon Fruit for money, Death Flowers to save your loved ones from Grim, Honey from the Bee Hive for food, money and protection from the elements... So many uses!
I was making so much money from Dragon Fruit, Normal quality was getting $250 a fruit, 8 per harvest, $2000 a plant every day!
Then Seasons came out.
They nerfed it down to only 4 per harvest, only 1 SEASON A YEAR! I hated it so much I removed Seasons. Until I created this mod that is. I created this mod at least a year ago but only used it myself, and have used it ever since.
It ONLY changes the seasons the plants grow in so they all grow all-year 'round. Nothing else. Weeds and insects have NOT been changed and will not infect the plants all-year. Plant evolution rates and growth rates are unchanged as well.
