COMPATIBLE: BASEGAME PATCH v1.63 ~ v1.67;
This mod allows you to request a Gardener from any Telephone (not Mobile) to take care of your Garden. Just click on the Interaction "Call Gardener > Request Service" from the any telephone.
It's a "Recurrent Service" like the Maid so, once requested, the Gardener comes everyday at 8AM and leaves at 6PM.
If there are more than 50 gardening tasks, will come 2 Gardeners.
What he Does???
- Water (also control the Sprinklers to reduce the tasks)
- Weed
- Harvest (automatically transfers to the "Home Fridge" (if it's edible) or the "Shared Family Inventory" (not edible))
- Dispose Dead Plants
- Rake Leaves (this functionality only works if you have Seasons EP)
- [new]You can request the Service on additional Lots you own.
- It's possible to configure the Tasks: Enable/Disable (Water, Weed,
Revive, Harvest,Fertilize, Dispose, Rake Leaves); Fertilize (25% of the plants with random Quality)Revive Dead Plants (not Barren Plants)
The Harvested Products will be automatically transferred to the "Home Fridge" (if it's edible) or the "Shared Family Inventory" (if isn't edible).
