I posted a topic about how I'm building a Nectary. Which meant a lot of gardening, and a lot of well, making Nectar. It made me think how much I too, wished the butler would Garden, or do other things!! Don't get me wrong, I actually like my Butler. He cleans, and thanks to gobot101s Butler Cooking Mod, he doesn't cook too much. I even used Twallans Master Controller to make him look more like a Butler, and even have more Butler-esque traits and what not. Anyway, all that aside, I was stuck wishing he'd help. Then I remembered the SimBot I can purchase in the Lifetime Rewards. I haven't tested yet, but I was thinkin of buying one, and maybe using a cheat to make his motives Static. Then maybe build him a little "room" that I can just have him go into, when I want to put him "away", locking the door behind him. This way, I'll let him out when I need him to Garden or make Nectar. lol Just an idea of course. I have a crazy imagination, I know. lol
Another thing that may help is the Harvester. It makes gardening a bit easier and faster. As does Chaaviks Faster Garden Tasks mod, found here:
