Title: Herb Patch?
Post by: River on July 15, 2021, 12:21:55 PM
i couldn't find one in the mods. i know there are several mods with an herb patch, but I was wondering if we could have a standalone herb patch, just a small one. I am trying to limit the amount of large mods, to save memory, lol.

There's one in Kid's Settlers Mod, along with a berry patch and a flax patch.

Yeah, but I didn't want to download a whole mod. Just need the herb patch. Maybe if I ask nicely, Kid will take it and make it standalone?? Pretty please?  ;D

Too warm for me, and I do not want to break up the Settlers. I am fond of that mod.
Maybe later.

Go out in the forest. My advice.

Kid Hedgerow mod has a spring hedgerow with asparagus and herbs.  Most mods and vanilla have herbalists who gather herbs from the wild.

Yeah, I'll check that out. And I understand, Kid. It's ok. I just denude the land of the resources and didn't want to use the space for the herbalist. Be nice if one of the Farmyards had herbs on it. But, I'll look at the hedgerow. Thanks anyway.

Hi @River

It was a cooler morning. The only time to work.
I made a small herb patch from different things I had on my disc.
It is 4x4 and I have slimmed down all resources. This is mini :)

edit - look further down for the updated file.

You should add the herb patch to Abandoned's lost and found so it doesn't become to hard to find in the months to come

I am sure Abandoned will take care of it. I do not want to do anything wrong with the list.

Kid, Abandoned, you guys are the best!! I know you both work hard, along with all the other modders, and it is greately appreciated. Thank you so much!!

I do understand your efforts in modding, I too am a modder for the Sims 2 game, which is very very active. Most people are disappointed with Sims 3 and 4, and are coming back to Sims 2. I have been modding since 2004, and have my own website, where everything is free. Tons of people visit my site every day. So I do understand. Thank you again.

Sorry for the double post but....

Abandoned, your herb patch overrides Kids Mini Buildings Herbalist. And the Herb Patch apparently doesn't act like an Herbalist, just grows herbs. Kinda not good, but I don't want you guys angry, so I won't complain. Just thought I'd FYI.

The herb patch/mini gardens never were supposed to act like an herbalist.  They just grow herbs which the bannies can then take to an actual herbalist to get help with their ailments.  You still need an herbalist. The mini herb gardens are great to either supplement what an herbalist in the forest gathers, of if you cut down most of the trees, then you can have herbs growing in the middle of a city for use.

I just was saying that originally, Kid's Mini Buildings had an herbalist. But Abandon's herb patch, which only grows herbs, is overwriting that, and now I have to use the vanilla buildings to get an herbalist, and it doesn't look right. Was just a FYI, that's all.

Hi @River
I have named the mini herb patch unique. It can't be overwriting anything!

With 'Mini' buildings - Do you mean Tiny or Workplaces?

This mini herb patch is like all other of Kid's patches, hedgerows, and farmyards.  They have no other function than to produce  food (some farmyards produce clothes, tools, and firewood).  Some hedgerows produce herbs.

Almost all of Kid's main mods have herbalist to match the set.  Other than a Mini Warehouse and now Mini Herb Patch, Kid has no mod called Mini.  Black Liquid/CC has a Mini Building mod. 

Some of Kid's bakeries produce herb bread so a patch of herbs to supplement the herbs gathered from the wild is nice to have.  There would be no problem using this herb patch with any of Kid's mods.

Ok, then. Sorry Kid!! It is replacing the Black Liquid Mini Herbalist. Here, let me show you what comes up in my games.

Example 1: It appears to replace the original herbalist in the Mini Buildings set. When I choose it, it only brings up the herb patch, not the herbalist.

Example 2: It also shows up here in Tiny, where I think it is supposed to be? And again, all I get is the herb patch.

So, in Mini Buildings, I have lost the original herbalist, and am forced to use another herbalist from another set. I hope this clears up for you what I am seeing.  Abandon, since it is your patch, maybe you can fix it somehow?  :)

@River Okay. I changed all inside to Tiny instead of Mini.
Model, textures, icons, code.

I haven't tested yet. (busy,busy,busy...) :)

Tell me if it works :)

Here is the download
edit - I have updated the Herb Patch with a small flax patch.
Could be useful. ( It is Tany's New Flora Flax! )

Just to clarify, Mini/Tiny Herb Patch is not my mod, I am not a modder.  I just make suggestions and requests and help with matching and supplementing other Kid mods, more of an advisor and tester than anything else.  I write blog stories featuring Kid's mods.  Kid and I work well together.  :)

Glad problem was sorted out  :) - herb patch and herbalist are 2 different things - and mini buildings is not one of Kid's mods.
Title: Re: Herb Patch?
Post by: River on July 22, 2021, 01:54:23 PM
Yes, I know it's not Kids. But thanks Kid for changing the name, I knew it had to be something like that, that the game would over ride another mod.

Hope I didn't make either of you angry, I just thought you'd want it corrected. As a modder myself, I understand things need to be correctly stated.

No problems :)
As long as you find bugs and errors, you do me a favor.
I usually can fix small things immediately. I have the time.

Check back in this thread. Herb Patch is updated with a Flax Patch.
Good for making those Linen clothes.
I use Tany's Flax from New Flora. Not all use New Flora, but I use that flax in
my tailors and workshops. So...here it is. :)
