another way to be sure and have no bugs is to build a green house. You can even have trees in the greenhouse also, I always put my garden and trees in one, and have never had a bug once I did that.

My garden plots look like this..

W = Greenhouse walls

P = Plants

And no bugs... Just good food...

hehe, gee thanks...

Ok, i agree with the owner thing, so im off to check some of the other things I just got downloaded. You have much more available that I had originally seen, I just got your DC, and will now see what all the goodies are about..

Ok, I finally just dumped out every hack I had except stuff from DC, and MATY, well, I'm guessing that had allot to do with my issues, although there where no hack conflicts, I'm guessing there was some arguing going on and confusing my poor sims, and their workers... as I am now getting better results from the janitor, actually cleaning, and even picking up plates.

After reading a few pages in this thread, I also found a few tips that helped with other problems I was having.

See, I took out the trash bin for the lot, and had only one trash can, and multiple compost bins, as I was using compost to fertilize the garden plots, I do this at my home lot also, and everyone drops everything to the trash, then takes it to the compost bins, and thus, I get compost. But to make it effective, you need to also not have a dishwasher, well, that was proving disastrous as all the cups from the espresso machine where going to the floor, and forgotten about, well, I put back the trash bin, took out the compost bins, added a dishwasher, and boom, plates go away... My janitor is actually cleaning up real good now.

Ok, 2 more minor issues,
On the matter of food, and eating. I have the kitchen set up(employees/owner/s only) I have a stove, fridge, counters, and dishwasher. Some of my employees do not have a cooking skill at all, will they still cook for themselves? or will they recruit someone that can/will? Or do I need to set something else for them to get food? I'm not trying to be rude, But Ive not had much luck finding any good setup plans for all of this awesomeness.. so I'm going by trial and error...

Next, regarding the BUY,
The set up on this is a little confusing to me, I'm not sure why, it all looks simple.
My bathrooms are set up like this.
Mens/Womens separate bathrooms, a door between them so the janitor has access to both, As they are only for employees/lot owners, I have the TP set to reject visitors. I have the stalls right next to each other in each bathroom, and in each bathroom the config for one matches the other one, But since the mens/womens stalls are far enough apart the TP Rolls do not get the config from the other bathroom, which is good. Now, I set to reject men from womens, and women from the mens rooms, But I'm seeing that lot owners will only use one stall, in the womans bathroom, it doesn't matter if they are men or not, they still use the womans room, now they go through the connecting door, but enter and exit through their gender based doors. So, I'm wondering is there a more detailed setup guide for it some ware? Its working better now than it was, But I'm still trying to get it just right.

Caffinating is a cool idea for energy, As I really would like to not use the PYP, for anyone, But they wont go get any until their energy is below 1/4 or less, is that a feature? can it be adjusted up a bit maybe? I'm still having employees going orange to red.

Anyway, I love this product, and this site for all the help it actually gives people.. Myself included..
Great job...

Ok, thank you for that fix. I didnt know that the items would go into the employees backpack, as with the SW Stuff it did not. And I kinda liked the fishing thing where customers fish would end up in mine.. quick way to get fish...

Ok, I know SW Stuff is Non-Awesome, But it was working kinda for me for awile, and some of his stuff is good to have like the packing stations for veggies, and fish, I hope I dont have to get rid of them all to make this work...

Thanks for the quick replys, and help, Im still working on it..

I will try that, As I didnt delete any of the stuff, just didnt use it, I will remove them, and try again, thanks..

I Understand that, But without the gardening controller from SW, the employees will not harvest... anything, even with gold badges, Only the owner will harvest., and nobody will clean up the plates...

I have just recently started using hacks and stuff from MATY, and I love most of them, they seem to be able to do more, and replace some things that are out here from others sites. I have in the past been using allot from Sim Wardrobe. the gardening controller he has is a great addition, But has problems keeping the employees busy, they take off, and wanter around, sometimes getting lose and forgetting about their work, So When I found this BRY, I thought super, this is perfect, and for the most part it really rocks. But there is a few problems.

Number one, the employees will not harvest anything, they take care of the plants, and do a wonderful job of that, they don't get lost, and they don't goof off. Having them stay on task, and going on breaks, and trying to keep their moods up on their own helps allot.

The other problem stems from the fact that they will not clean up after themselves, I have one set to janitor, and they will take out the trash, but will not clean bathrooms, or clean plates off of tables. I also use Sim Wardrobes auto fill buffet and when that food spoils, they refuse to clean it up. their environment will totally suck, with plates, and food oozing green, and they will still just pace, and do nothing untill somone else either drops edible food some ware, or drops something in the trash.

I thought I would be able to get rid of a few of the other hacks, Like DMA Stuff, the DMA Clock that will keep the employees needs in the green is nice, but I wanted to have them actually fend for themselves a little, but its not working out too good yet. Also, I have been using SW-Timeclock, it has the ability to set shifts, so that you can rotate the employees around to lessen the stress on them, and they will still do their duties, and with BRY It would work great, But its just not doing well. I think it might be all about FT, As even the built in Tidy function of OFB will not make any of them clean up the plates.

And, when having a fishing pond and setting like only 2 or 3 of them fishing, dont even try to get them to do anything else, you cannot even unassign them from the task as they will not stop, you cant talk to them, only way to break them away is to send them home. I took out the pond, then brought them back, set them to garden, and put the pond back in, they dropped and ran back to the pond, and we where back to the ignoring the owner again.. I tried to get them to do many things, but will not do anything but focus on the pond. I even fired them, then rehired them, and boom. right back at the pond. I had to actually get new employees to get them off the pond.
I don't have any logs to send in, ans all logs are blank, So Im not sure how to get any logs on the issue, But it is repeatable.. Soo, is this an issue with me? or the game? or something else I may have installed?

Thanks for your time, and energy in this, It is a perfect idea..
