wow, this looks amazing can't wait to get home tonight to play with these.

Tini

I cant plant anything, not sure why. It says , I need seed packs, but I have plenty?

icemunmun

Do you have the specific seeds packets ( all starter seed packets) bought from the herb garden itself ? Different enrichments require different seed packets. Also, delete and revuy the herb garden from the catalog.

Tini

ok, now it works. Thanks (had to update the seeds)

K

Congratulations on finishing this project. Thank you for sharing.

Kristin Gaines

Hi I’m having some trouble with this Mod. I can’t plant anything, but I’m able to buy seed packets.

icemunmun

Different entiched version requires different combinations of starter herbs. Delete the one you have and rebuy from the catalogue and place it again

Kristin Gaines

I did it’s still not working. Does my sim need a certain skill level?

icemunmun

Yes they need to have atleast level 6 of gardening ( maybe 4...i have to check). The interaction to plant is not appearing at all or is it greyed out ?

icemunmun

Let me know if the skill level fixes the issue

Kristin Gaines

Yes thank you it is working now just needed to get to level 4

Laura Engeln

This made me become a patron, I couldn't wait and wanted to show you that we love your work ! Thank you Icy

icemunmun

You need minimum gardening skill level 4

Vólusims

Vólusims

2026-09-08 03:00 This looks marvelous and so indepth, I highly appreciate how you add so much nuance, steps, and realism to gameplay, really unique and looks like an actual learning curve (hope it'll teach me a thing or two about gardening in real life in the process)!

Hi! I'm having an issue of my sims not having ownership of the things they harvest from the herb garden. I wondered if it was a For Rent issue?

phantomness

I know it's been a long time since this herb garden was created, but it is amazing still! I just started using it and it is so much fun! The only thing that has me a little concerned is that what I harvest cannot be sold or deleted? I was hoping I could sell off the items I didn't like from the harvests.

Katchioga Bediako

Long time lurker, first time caller: I'm new here and I wonder how this functions, if at all, with Basemental Herbs... I'm finna find out... (iykyk B-))

kawaii_kitsune77

Herb Garden can't be clicking anywhere. It is like something missing. Like those, which need mesh.

icemunmun

What you harvest can definitely be sold...what message are you getting ? Any errors ?

icemunmun

Hello..there are some prerequisites before you can harvest -- you have to enrich soil with fertilizers ( buy them from purchase interaction) plant seeds, then water..then you can harvest after it grows ( hover over the stand to get the tooltip info)

icemunmun

Can you post a picture of the herb garden you are getting ?

phantomness

No, I am not getting any errors. For example, I have harvested a variety of crops from the herb gardens, but when I try to sell them, all of the items, regardless of what they are, say 'this item cannot be sold or deleted'.

icemunmun

Do you have any inventory management mod ? Is the herb garden in a community lot ? I will also try to replicate this in my game

phantomness

I do not have any inventory management mods that I know of, and the herb garden is in my own backyard. I sent you a short video on Discord to show what happens when I try to sell one of the items I harvested from the herb garden.

Bea Santel

Hello. I've tried downloading, but it says not found.

NayaMasters

hi! the link isn't working for some reason.

icemunmun

oh must be the patreon glitch. I was having trouble uploading to patreon so it must have been incomplete upload. After work today I will reupload

Ren

Is the herb garden working? I was using it then 3 updates hit and it stopped working properly but I loved using it so was checking to see if currently good to go?

Curl Mavinelli

Hello , i was wondering if it was possible in 2026, when you have cottage living, or horses if you can use other fertilizers or not ?

icemunmun

Hmm..I can add an interaction for that. Let me see if it works

CJ Go

Hi, is this still working in 2026? maybe it's just me but it won't let me clean and plant anything.

CJ Go

it says that i don't have the starter seeds pack required but I bought the starter seeds pack and even moved them into the herb garden but they just disappeared when i reopened the garden.
