Macrotastics Gardening Questions
Emma:
Are you telling them to 'Be Farmer' magicmoon? That didn't ever work for me until I installed the gpsign. I dunno why it is in the test directory, it works great :D

Macrotastics doesn't replant without the use of an unreleased accessory that is in the test directory, gpsign, which allows you to designate what fields are for what.
That's just it. I installed the signs and asked questions in another thread so that I was using them correctly. I divided the plots up with room dividers so that each compartment had 3 squares for growing and one square for the sign. I set the crop on each sign so that I would have all 6 crops, and the planting Sims had appropriate badges to plant all the crops.
So why aren't they re-planting? They followed the signs to do the original plantings of strawberries and tomatoes. Am I using the wrong type of fencing?

Sometimes I was using Business>be farmer, and other times I was using Macro>garden. Mostly I was macro-gardening because I wanted them to stay with the plants at that moment and not go off fishing or restocking when they got done.
I'll go back in and see if 'Be Farmer' works where gardening failed.

3) Grow lamps are for indoor gardening (and Plant Sims) -- you can have a garden in a 'sun room' with a regular roof, or on the first floor of a multi-story house, and the grow lamps will make sure the plants get enough light.
In case anyone hasn't see it, this garden plot mod at MTS2 by mike_1102 makes plots placeable pretty much everywhere. It works with Macrotastics-Garden as well. I've had plots on the second story of a house off the kitchen (the Tower of Doom, post-apoc house in Urban Paradise before Culinary and Business were unlocked), and I have one house with a roof-top garden using these. You don't actually have to get them from the buy catalog, using the normal build tool works.
Love the garden option. I never thought I'd use it, but I have a Servo commune on the old site of the Tower of Doom. It's a 3x3 lot consisting of two crop greenhouses, a fruit tree greenhouse, a pond, and a work shack. They craft and grow items for the whole 'hood during redevelopment. With Macrotastics and the cheaty "motiveDecay off", all I have to do is sit them in the sun every day and a half and just let them go. Actually, I have two on Be Farmer and one on Macro-garden as needed.

Ohh! I always wanted my sims to have a roof garden, thanks Zaza ;D

Those garden signs sound interesting, where can I find them?
