An issue with the compatibility checker, I suspect It's prone to false positives. Point it out in its thread.

I've tested these together, they work fine.

Actually when I initially installed these it wouldn't let me load the game (the launch bar would start then immediately stop every time I tried). I removed these mods by placing them in a different folder and my game started working again. I put the mods back now though (all of them) and everything seems to be working fine now.

Should do, Omni plants, Steak Plants, Burger Patty Plants, Eggplants, CheesePlants, Money Trees, Flame Fruits, Death Flowers and life fruits all fall under the Special Category, so placing the special Seed spawner will grant you either of them seeds in a few days.

Of course, I have not yet actually placed a spawner yet, so its the creators word. It should spawn eggplant seeds and omni seeds in a few sim days. :D

Basically, these are the same spawners used in the game. Any seeds you can find lying around town can be done with these. If there are special requirements on obtaining the seed (that is, you can't just find it and pick it up) then these won't do those.

So, therefore since Omni plants, Steak Plants, Burger Patty Plants, Eggplants & CheesePlants dont have seeds in the normal game, the spawner wont spawn any

Thankyou for another outstanding mod, I'm downloading all your spawners cause my sims are just so lazy.. like me

I think the town can only spawn a certain amount of collectables at one time. Anytime I pick stuff up more stuff seems to appear near my sim. If everything appears on your sims lot and not everywhere else then it's cause you placed too many on and/or near your lot and if they don't appear anywhere else it's cause the ones on your lot are still sitting there uncollected or there's just too many.

They like to appear at home instead of elsewhere. My sims house is across the road from some rocks and they are ALWAYS there but finding them somewhere else is a bit hard. but if there is no spawners near enough to home, once you start picking things up elsewhere they tend to appear everywhere you go until you stop collecting them. Like they're following you. It works that way so you can go on a hunt.

Unless you want them at your sims home all the time don't spawn so many or don't use this mod. If anyone knows more feel free to add to this.

I'm having big BIG issues with this mod...I'm really hoping you can help! I installed all the mods for buyable fish, rock and gem, seed, insect and butterflys...etc. I was not aware that they would remove the other spawners from the rest of my game. So i placed them around my lot and realized I could not place the seed ones. Seem to have no problems placing the rock, gem, insect, and butterfly ones. I also noticed that not only were my town seeds gone, but all plants that were harvestable in community lots were gone. I couldn't even buy veggies to plant at the store! So since the gardening is one of the things I enjoy best in Sims 3 I deleted the seed mod hoping it would fix everything, restarted. No luck, so I deleted all the mods, restarted, still no luck. No spawned anything anywhere.... So I tried whatever I could find to help in all of the comment sections on each mod. No luck. Long story shorter I tried everything from deleting my game to manually deleting my game and removing everything I have ever done on Sims 3. I even contacted EA tech support. I reinstalled and everything is still gone. The harvestable plants are back in the community lots but no spawned rocks, seeds, bugs, butterflys, anything anywhere!! So I'm writing to you as a last resort because I am completely out of options. I'm hoping you might know a way to fix this?? Or else at least help me be able to place the seed spawners so I can TRY to make the game like what it was. Thank you.

I never had any problem with these mods in my game. I hope you will update all the spawners for WA. I sure do miss them. Thank you.

not only does this not work on my game (i only placed one seed), but it removed all seeds before, seeds that were already planted, and i also can no longer buy veggies or fruits at the local store.

Hi there, after reinstall the game like 4, 5 times and endless searching in the internet. I found this post
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/187410.page

Just simply go to the base game installation folder, and check the sku version, then go to the official patch page and update the base game accordingly to the latest version. And the seeds, gems, rocks should be spawned after 9-10 ingame hours. I just tested myself. And I am very happy this long term problem has finially solved.

All instructions can be found in the link.

They don't show up in my game. I've re installed them several times and it hasn't fixed the problem.
