Lady Bug / Plantsim questions
jsalemi:
jfade hangs out here, too, and is near-awesome. :) He has some great hacks and objects on djssims -- it's one of my favorite sites that's not MATY.

Oh yeah, the food points. I had a fridge (one of the 300 food units ones) that had 160 food units in it. I added over 400 fresh food points to it, the fresh food points went down when they ate, but the food units did not. And the fresh food points (as you can see) far exceeded the food unit max. I don't know if there is a cap to the fresh food points or not.
However, there is a bug, I don't know if it was working to my benefit there or not. I noticed houses that have never touched produce have fresh food complete with fattening bonus. Every lot has fresh food, kind of annoying.

I think there's a fundamental flaw in your idea though. I don't think that produce is edible on its own; if it's stocked in the fridge, it only serves to make regular food have higher food points. The fridge comes fully stocked when you buy it, but it will eventually run out of regular food if they don't buy groceries. Produce can be used to make juices, some of which fill hunger, but the produce has to be kept in the juicer or the sim's inventory -- once it's put in the fridge, it can't be used to make juice.
Well, I've only had Seasons for 2 days. On the other lot I've been playing, I stocked the fridge with the harvested produce and didn't see the normal food capacity drop after that even though they were making plenty of sparkling food. The fresh food capacity was dropping though. So I just assumed sims could live off what they can grow. If not, I'll just use harvests as a source of income I guess. You would think that if you grew food you could eat it. And yes, I did make sure there was a pond on the lot so they had plenty of fish by winter.
Ah well, I thought it would be a neat idea. Didn't realize Seasons was so restricted in that respect.

Well, I could be wrong about the fresh food stuff not supplementing the regular food -- haven't had any produce harvested yet in my game, so I'm going by what I've read. It could well be that the produce adds to the total food supply, or that could be a bug in the initial release that may be fixed in a future patch. :)
dragoness:
I have a greenhouse on one of my lots and I've never once had bugs inside it, and I don't have any hacks related to the Seasons gardening that I know of.
On the same lot, I have six fruit trees outside the greenhouse (can you even put them in there? hmm... never tried it) in two rows of three. I have two ladybug houses, one in the middle of the first four trees and one in the middle of the second four. They work excellently and I only wind up spraying once or twice a "year."
I'm not sure if they prevent bugs from appearing, or if they automatically remove bugs on a regular basis... if it's the latter, you might be spraying a lot 'cause you're micromanaging a bit too much. I've taken to ignoring my fruit trees mostly, and using macrotastics to Garden whenever I see it come up as available and/or when the plants in the greenhouse or trees need tending. When I started taking that hands-off approach I found I noticed FAR less bugs, so I'm inclined to think the ladybug houses remove bugs after they spawn.
But then again, I'd just adjusted the ladybug houses' positions under the trees so it might've been a radius issue. :(
Either way, hope that helps a bit.

I've heard that's an outdated hack doing that. Before I found this forum I waded through the forums over at Gamefaqs, here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=914811 There is a lot of stupidity over there, but if you can stand to wade through it, the sparkling food gets mentioned every couple of days and someone always mentions it's a conflict with an outdated version of a known hack. I just can't remember which one. :(
