i don't know any tutorial and it's difficult to create a tutorial because isn't easy to create a new npc. requires knowledge on c# and oriented object programming.

you can start following the basic:

I love this gardener man! I dont have to take care of my garden. However, why does the gardener turn off my water sprinklers when he arrives and does NOT turn then back on then he leaves again? Is this a bug? BU anyhows thanks a lot for this cool mod!

it's not a bug it's a feature. he will turn off the sprionkler when the water task is done.

But can I not get something so that the sprinklers will turn on again after he leaves? I find it annoying that I have to turn them back on everyday??

well, if he turned off it means all the plants on the area were watered. you don't need to keep the sprinklers working.

(sorry about the english).

I'm wondering about this. I always upgrade my sprinklers to sprinkle automatically. They start at 4:00AM and stop at 7:00AM. The Gardener arrives at about 8:00AM and so he doesn't interfer anyway. He takes in account that the plants are already watered and just does the other tasks.

Will this work with Seasons?

already working. download the gardener v1.5

thanks bro you are awsome dont know why EA didnt made us a Gardener like in the sims 2 , but thanks to your mod this problem is solved thanks again \m/

i dont know why but items arent being sent to my inventory. is anyone else having tht problem??

"The Harvested Products will be automatically transferred to the "Home Fridge" (if it's edible) or the "Shared Family Inventory" (if isn't edible)."

Может кто нибудь перевести мод на русский язык? Сделайте люди добрые - дело доброе :&#1086

This is the most delightful mod ever created! I can not explain why EA has not included yet the gardener service in the game.

Though I noticed that the apron on the NPC is too "toxic" green. Can you make they outfit color not so saturated, for example using #2e8b57 green.

At last, could you share string file for translation (on Russian)?

i will change the color.

open the package file using S3PE find the file "GardenerNPC_strings_RUS_RU". press "Grid" to translate the mod. save it and send me the file.

I hope everybody had a Merry Christmas! Looking forward to the year 1013! So, how 'bout them Normans?

</tongue_in_cheek> ;-)

LOL :D

amazing how i never noticed this issue.
CTRL+C
CTRL+V

I am totally a noob in modding, I can just translate
However, I tried to extract .stbl file and to open it with STBL editor, but it does not work for not clear reasons.
If you could explain in more detail how to work with these files, I'd try again.

open the package file using S3PE.
find the file "GardenerNPC_strings_RUS_RU".
right-click.
on the menu click "Edit STBL".
translate all the strings you find.
press "Save".
It will pop-up a confirmation box, just press "yes" to update the stbl file.
save and close the package file.
test in your game to check if all the translated strings are right.


If everything is alright, open the package again,
find the file "GardenerNPC_strings_RUS_RU".
right-click.
on the menu click "Export" and after "To file".
save it and send the exported stbl file via PM (private message).

Thank you for this!

Loving this mod but I have a quick question; in your 'known issues' you say we shouldn't try to edit age, add him to our family, etc... does this include editing his outfit in CAS? I mean, in winter those short sleeves would be unrealistic... or in colder places

no problems changing his clothes.

This is so awesome!! Thank you :D

I'm devastated! I can't use your Gardener 1.6 but I don't know why. I can request the Gardener and I'm told he's routing to my lot. However, he never arrives. When I wanted to cancel the him it's not possible because it looks as if I haven't requested him. I tried this a few times but I always got the note he's routing to my lot but in fact it looks as if I never requested him.

I deleted the mod, deleted the script cache file and used your HarvestRobot for a while. I saved the game in between and closed and loaded it again a few timesit. Then I put the mod back but nothing had changed. No matter what I do, it doesn't work. Not even when I start a new game. So I had to put the Gardener 1.5 back and this mod works perfectly.

fixed, just download again.

i was testing the mod and i forgot to turn off testing flag.

You're such a sweetheart! I'll test it right away and report back how it goes. :D

EDIT: Yes, yes, yes!!! It works and the Gardener rakes the fallen leaves like crazy. Now I'm a happy camper!
