If they solve it, lawnmowers will be necessary
And, well, you're willing to accept the downs and the ups... so, you have my support ^^
They can just code the mower not to work on sand, rocks, and gravel terrain.
Or just code it for only mowing grass.
I am in agreement with JC about the time consumption of this chore. A few other problems. Grass usually doesn't need to be mowed every day but in sims they seem to have a problem with coordinating that properly. Im not saying that they can't but i am saying it's a design problem that's always over looked. An example of that is laundry depending on family size you really don't need to do laundry every single day. Sometimes not even every other day. The more people live in your house of course the more you need to do laundry but sims never seems to adjust like that.
The problem i see is even if this a mow the terrain option how will sims know to mow the lawn since it doesn't grow. I was just wondering if instead what could happen is every 7 sims days you see these dandlions and grass sprouts like you do for the flowers that spawn for the festival events. So it's not a full grass growth but you see these sprouts and know it's time to mow the lawn. When you mow them they disappear and it goes back to the terrain.
Anyway it's not a bad idea it's just that it's mundane chore like cleaning is, which is apart of sims life. It could be something more for outdoor people love to do it's just that i wish the development team would fix the game so that we have more time during the day to do this stuff.
I like your idea of spawning weeds! Then it would be much easier to tell that it's time to mow the lawn.
There is always some work around for things that make it simple. It the store teams decides it might be a nice content to go with a new map.
I am looking for a larger map that can fit all my stuff and some.
Yeah a Gardener would be pretty cool to bring back from TS2. It's too bad it couldn't be included in store content for gardening or just landscaping. (like the lawn mowing idea) But if they were to bring it back...it would probably have to be in a patch or even an EP.
Well I'm getting off topic, aren't I? I made a forum about mowing the lawn, and here I am talking about a Gardener!
Anyways...perhaps the Sims 3 Store team could include this with another outdoor set? They already did gardening, so maybe it's time for some landscaping.
You know how someone else posted that weeds should spawn over time? Perhaps also when water puddles appear, weeds could spawn because grass and weeds grow faster when there's water.
I'd love to mow the ice pond in winter time.
Also, it's a pity no one has cloned and re-tasked the tractor.
So I'm closing it for necroposting.
