Thank you! These look amazing! As someone who gardens in real life, those plants were really bothering me.

Awesome! I hated that they all looked so same-y and fluorescent green. This is so much better.

(and thanks for the heads-up about putting harvestables in your pots. So cute, and I never even thought to try.)

I sat and flipped back and forth between the original and the overrides like a million times. It is SO much better. Seriously. Please consider doing the rest? :D

these look great. one question; are they compatible with the buyable herbs and flowers (made buyable by oloriell: http://modthesims.info/d/549339)?

Since the description of that upload doesn't say anything about overriding stuff, I can only assume that those are clones. I don't really know of course, I don't use that kind of thing.

Can't you simply get the harvestables from Buy/Build when you turn on debug mode or whateveritwas? Those would be the actual harvestables.

i think they are just clones. i will see if this mod works with yours, and if not, i'll remove that mod and just get them using bb.showhiddenobjects. thanks very much for your response.

edit: can confirm your retextures don't work with the buyable herbs mod.

How do you mean "don't work"?

If that "buyable" mod is overriding these so they stop appearing at all, that would mean it contains redundant copies of the original cobj/objds -- wouldn't be the fist time people override something unannounced, but the creator should be made aware of it as they probably don't even know about it.

If you just mean this mod changes the appearance of the Maxis plants just fine, but not that of random other CC .. well yeah, that is to be expected. It's not supposed to change anything else.

my apologies for being vague: with that mod installed, your textures still work on the default herbs and vegetables, but not on the buyable clones that mod adds. sorry for my lack of technical knowledge; i'm a total mod noob.

Thanks for this lovely mod - gardening is one of my favourite things in the game and I hated how nearly all the plants looked identical!

I do seem to have a small issue, the harvestables seem to appear very dark? Here is a picture:

This mod doesn't modify the harvestables (also, it does not contain a rose bush). Does it also happen when you remove all other CC?

My apologies, I hadn't looked at the garden plants for ages and I just noticed it after putting in the mod. I took all my CC (including this mod), deleted all cache files and the harvestables are still very dark, so it looks like an EA issue!

EDIT: I asked about this on Tumblr, and it seems the latest patch broke the harvestables.

Ah thanks -- you mean 1.10, yes? (I missed that there was a patch yesterday and don't have it yet)

That is good to know .. have you tried playing with your graphics settings? They do talk about messing around with shadows in their patch notes, but maybe one can counteract that by changing the rendering settings.

I've got exactly the same thing. I also thought it was something to do with Plasticbox's mod, but I also installed the latest patch at the same time. Like you, after removing CC, deleting my cache files and repairing my game, it's still there. To me it looks like the patch has 'erased' all the textures on the harvestables so that they just look black.

Yes, that is a patch issue. Here is the bug report thread: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4...-unread-message
