Thanks so much for the hack, and yes, the word for it is "healthy"

Ah, this is a much-needed hack. I love the gardening, but I hate how long it usually takes to talk to plants. Thank you so much.

Thank you

Thanks!

My personal opinion (and kind of philosophy behind my hacks) is: "Nothing is for free, but nothing should be impossible." The animations of TS2 are just great, but they cost a lot of time, and since Maxis didn't change the "ticks" (the internal game clock) from Sims1 to Sims2, now more time consuming actions have to be performed in the same time frame as before. The gardener who cannot handle a garden full of water needing flowers and overgrown shrubs in one day is the best example for that. These four garden helpers reduce the time needed for the respecitve action, but they do not eliminate them. A garden which "cleans" itself from fallen leafs is - IMHO - as unrealistic as raking 20x the same spot to pile the leafs up. I just try to find a good balance between expenditure and benefit.

The "yellow smiley state" is a pretty good word for it, but I think it's normally referred to as "healthy" in the game... I must say your grammar is fairly good otherwise.
Aaaaanyways, back on topic, this is aaawesome. I was getting very upset because my sim didn't have time to talk to all of the plants; my PlantSim sim didn't, I mean! xD Ended up having to make my sim's garden alot smaller. =/
Thanks for making all of these wonderful mods! ^^;''

Loved the idea of getting my Sims more free time! Worked great but my Sims didn't seem to get as much "Love" out of talking to their trees and plants as they once did.

Does this or any of your other gardening helpers, need updating for BV?

I haven't experimented much with gardening yet, but I plan to, and I just love your rake leaves faster mod, so I just know I'll appreciate this mod as well. Thank you for sharing!

I admire that; thank you.

I must say that I am a tad tardy ( I got this mod when you first uploaded it)..but here goes: Thank you for sharing. This, and your other gardening mods, are 'must haves' for me.
