oh must be the patreon glitch. I was having trouble uploading to patreon so it must have been incomplete upload. After work today I will reupload

hi! the link isn't working for some reason.
Bea Santel
Hello. I've tried downloading, but it says not found.
MunMun
Can you post a picture of the herb garden you are getting ?
MunMun
Hello..there are some prerequisites before you can harvest -- you have to enrich soil with fertilizers ( buy them from purchase interaction) plant seeds, then water..then you can harvest after it grows ( hover over the stand to get the tooltip info)
MunMun
What you harvest can definitely be sold...what message are you getting ? Any errors ?

Herb Garden can't be clicking anywhere. It is like something missing. Like those, which need mesh.

Long time lurker, first time caller: I'm new here and I wonder how this functions, if at all, with Basemental Herbs... I'm finna find out... (iykyk B-))

I know it's been a long time since this herb garden was created, but it is amazing still! I just started using it and it is so much fun! The only thing that has me a little concerned is that what I harvest cannot be sold or deleted? I was hoping I could sell off the items I didn't like from the harvests.
MunMun
I will check it out!
Michelle Halbrook
Hi! I'm having an issue of my sims not having ownership of the things they harvest from the herb garden. I wondered if it was a For Rent issue?

Today I tried veggies and fruit and berries and mushrooms. I even got candy and two rainbow yarns, it is like opening christmas presents, always a surprise :o)
MunMun
Ah this makes me so happy! Thank you 😊
tanja vanbroeckhoven
I've played with this vertical garden all day long, I filled it with herbs and I love that I get so many different kinds of herbs from it, it always is a surprise to see what my sim harvested. I think I will replace my outside garden with these vertical gardens, that will save my sim lots of time that she can use for canning and cooking. Tommorow I will try with fruit, veggies and flowers. Thank you so much :o)

This looks marvelous and so indepth, I highly appreciate how you add so much nuance, steps, and realism to gameplay, really unique and looks like an actual learning curve (hope it'll teach me a thing or two about gardening in real life in the process)!

Steffi Jänsch
Adorable!!!
MunMun
👍
Kristin Gaines
Yes thank you it is working now just needed to get to level 4
MunMun
Let me know if the skill level fixes the issue
Kristin Gaines
Oh ok thank you
MunMun
Yes they need to have atleast level 6 of gardening ( maybe 4...i have to check). The interaction to plant is not appearing at all or is it greyed out ?
Kristin Gaines
I did it’s still not working. Does my sim need a certain skill level?
MunMun
Different entiched version requires different combinations of starter herbs. Delete the one you have and rebuy from the catalogue and place it again
Kristin Gaines
Hi I’m having some trouble with this Mod. I can’t plant anything, but I’m able to buy seed packets.
K
Congratulations on finishing this project. Thank you for sharing.
MunMun
👍
Tini Hess
ok, now it works. Thanks (had to update the seeds)
MunMun
Do you have the specific seeds packets ( all starter seed packets) bought from the herb garden itself ? Different enrichments require different seed packets. Also, delete and revuy the herb garden from the catalog.
Tini Hess
I cant plant anything, not sure why. It says , I need seed packs, but I have plenty?
Monique Lefebvre
Wow !!!! this is incredible !
Lady D
