Lady Bug / Plantsim questions
jsalemi:
I believe one of TwoJeff's low food warning hacks caused that problem -- the updated version here fixes it.
TreyNutz:
I played the McGreggor lot in River Blossom Hills for a while, which has 6 fruit trees in a 3x2 pattern and 1 ladybug loft in the center. Sims did a lot of spraying on that lot. Could be a radius issue. Those trees seemed kind of far apart, maybe they weren't in the range? The garden is on the other side of the lot. I never put a loft near the plants, and they needed spraying more often. (On that lot I was happy to get a plantsim though, so didn't mind.)
I was wondering if the lofts are more for prevention or for elimination. I thought I noticed some bug swarms disappear on their own when I was playing yesterday, but then many did not and the bugs seemed to spread to surrounding plants. Maybe I'll try leaving them alone longer and see what happens.

Ah! Thanks for the info.

A friendly note here: more than one person has complained about poor performance and game crapness when installing "too many" ladybird houses.
djssims has a hack that keeps the ladybug swarms to a reasonable size so they don't overwhelm your graphics performance. It can be found on the same page as the link sara_dippity included in her post.
My game seems to handle an inordinate amount of ladybird houses, though I do have (JFade's?) winter dormancy hack for the leetle blighters.
Of course, now that I've said this, I will never be able to play the Sims 2 ever again on this machine. :/

For the fridge, my experience has been that the sims will cook using fresh points until there are none left, then go to regular food points. When I want my sims to eat off the land, they eat normal food until their first harvest comes in- I try to make it so there are no or almost no normal food points remaining by then, using the cheapest fridge. They then restock using fresh food and never call for groceries. I never get an "out of food" notice- they rarely eat all they harvest by the time they have more, especially when they supplement it with fish.
