Yes, this is just what I have needed. I always thought they took too long on those silly machines and for all that work so little nectar.

I know someone who does home wines and ales - and it's not the fiddling, it's how long the stuff has to sit doing it's fermentation trick that takes the time. So it's always bothered me that it takes so long to turn a knob on a machine when all you really had to do was dump it all in and walk away.... (ok, there's SOME fiddling involved, but not as much as the big machine would have it)

So I guess I'd like the only combination I don't see up there... Faster Button pressing with More bottles. I'll leave the running time alone for realism.

Does anyone know if it conflicts with awesomemod yet?

The x10 version with the most downloads to its name (i.e. FasterNectarSquish+PushButton+RunTime+MoreBottles(x10)) is the one you're after (if you haven't discovered so already).

I'm not 100% sure myself as I don't have Awesomemod installed into my game but I wouldn't have thought there'd be a problem considering this isn't a core mod and it's not one that I think's going to conflict with the XMLs pre-packaged in Awesomemod such as the ones that affect Careers, Socializing, Traits and so forth. But i'd wait for confirmation from someone that may have downloaded and installed this mod and also has Awesomemod installed in their game, just to be safe.

Are you only using one .package file for this mod?

Also, tell me which version of the mod you've downloaded so we can diagnose the problem from there.

Testing the file in my game now.

EDIT: The mod works fine as intended in my game. All running times remain at EA defaults, you just get around 30 bottles or so, rather than the 3 bottles you'd normally get by the default.

Is your mods/packages folder set up correctly to run .package files?

I think it's me because some mods work and some do not, it's just stinks

Nothing seems to work other mods do but not this one, I like the mods you make just wish this one worked

It's really strange, because it definitely works as intended. If there was a more widespread issue, more people would've reported a problem. Did you ever end up getting the Gardener NPC to work in your game?

Things seemingly have largely remained the same for patch 1.29 in terms of game mods outside of core mods, so whatever the issue is in your game, it's likely to have carried over. Have you tried deleting your cache files?

The game launcher version for my fully patched game is 10.0.96.014017 , somewhat different to the launcher version for your game.
