Edited: Oops, I cut and paste from another readme file and forgot to alter some bits! My bad. Fixed now.

In the real world, I work as a gardener, and knowing how much delight it gives so many people, I find it odd that our little Simlings don't get any enjoyment from it whatsoever. Therefore, I got our my hacking trowel, modding shears and a bag of compost and made this little mod, which makes gardening increase a Sim's fun level. Hope you like it!

I'm pretty certain, having tested it myself, that it's stable and works well, but I'd like people's opinions on its balance. Is it too much fun/not fun enough? Are there any gardening actions I've missed out?

Thanks for your input!

Installation:
Unzip the attached file and place the 'gardeningfun.package' file into your my documents/EA Games/Sims 2/Downloads folder. To remove this hack, simply delete the gardeningfun.package file.

***Important note:*** Any hacks in your game are included when you package a lot for publication on thesims2.com. Don't let your hacks go wandering- uninstall them before you upload anything!

Really important note: Testers have found this this hack will crash the Sims University expansion pack games if you use the money tree. If this happens to you, don't panic, just remove the gardeningfun.package from your downloads folder, and your game should run just fine! Once I get hold of a copy of the expansion pack myself, I'll see if I can make a compatible version.
