Skillinator and watering plants??
« on: 2009 March 22, 17:52:10 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

I added gardening to my sim and she will NOT stop watering.

I have even done "moveobjects on" and moved her to the front of the house and she just goes right back. I do have sprinklers on the garden plots but it seems to make no difference. Clicking the icon to stop does nothing - just re-adds it again.

Is this broken - did I do something wrong - is it normal  Wink ??

What can I do to get her to stop watering? THANKS!

Watering is how they skill the gardening skill. If you just want her to run the garden say > be farmer. I've had trouble with the queue not dropping before that was a conflicting hack. Try telling her to do something else first then crossing out the box.

Yes... if you want her to gain Gardening skill in the most efficient way possible, she will go find a plant and overwater it if there isn't anything useful to do. Being overwatered hurts the plant, yes, but each time you water it its health gets a bonus, so the plant won't even be upset by this treatment.

If you just want her to do work that needs doing and nothing else, tell her to Be Farmer. You might need Business Runs You for that.

Thank you both so much for the replies!

She finally did stop watering - ohhh that poor plant  Roll Eyes

As long as this in "normal" I can deal with it (and now expect it may happen again). I will try the Farmer route the next time.

Ordering Skill Gardening will perform normal gardening if possible, but pick a hapless victim to water for badge points until gold if there are no "normal" gardening chores to do. I wouldn't worry too much, though. If you hover over the hapless plant, it's probably the thrivingest plant you have. Tongue

If Macrotastics is doing some weird behavior, consider that it might be doing it because it is smarter than you.
