Suggestion: drop the energy motive a little when raking

Damn you are coming out with some interesting mods of late ( and in a serious asian theme) from the new recipe ( rice) to radio stations hidden traits and now this, did someone recently go on holiday to japan?? Excellent work though .

Thank you for doing this, it was actually on my list of things to do for a long time but my inferior modding skills never accomplished anything. I can grab this and check it off my jobs list now! Thanking youuuuuuuuuuuuu! <3

This is going to be great for farmer sims. Really like it. About the 3 hours cooldown, would there be any way for the user to modify that? With NRaas Relativity slowing the game down, I think there will be not much raking being seen. But maybe I am wrong.
Also, I couldn't get the CAST to work on the sand. You said it was still there by mistake, but I couldn't see it...
But another really helpful 'life' item you've got there. Nice.

It's great to have new actions for the Sims to perform. Thank you.

Thanks, going try this out in my Zen room. Might be a good addition to the Lucky Cat and the massage table.

Update: I tested it a bit. The use indoors is a bit limited because you can't change the colour of the sand. So you have to make the whole floor match the colour or have room enough to make an indoor garden look authentic. I decided to place it outdoors in the grey pavement.

A slight energy drop would indeed be realistic. Both things are not complaints, just things you could improve if you have the time.

I don't know if you have Pets but no problems there; animals have no interactions with it so that's good.

I haven't seen any automatic actions yet. Which makes it all the better; I feared it would constantly draw my Sims' attention.

I hope you keep making these sort of things because it keeps Sims3 alive for us!

You are awesome Arsil! I'm going to try it out in the winter and get back to you on whether the check prevents it from being used indoors. Also, are you a professional writer? Because your descriptions are life giving
