    SGCopeland has said before (I believe), that a store patch is being worked on. I think the actual comment referenced things he was trying to get added to it, or something along those lines.

    It doesn't seem likely we'll get a patch until the store is ready to close, if at all. Kind of a 'So long, and thanks for all the fish.' ;p

    Better to re-code the stairs and release them as PC, then to wait for a patch that may never happen.

    I figured that would be the case. But I'm sure something can be done with MOO. Like maybe a short fence with the corn MOO'd onto it to hide it?

    The wire one might work, or the glass one from ITF, if recolored right.

    Just discovered that myself. I was actually worried about Sims not being able to get to something because the corn was blocking it...and then they just blithely walked right through it! So, good for me, bad for you! LOL Actually I desperately want to make corn mazes and crop circles (with a secret alien base underneath the crop circles!) so I need to figure this out as well! I will experiment with different fences recolored to match the corn stalks and see what can be accomplished as soon as I finish my latest project. If you do the same PLEASE post your results here! Thanks!

    Murfeel is The Speaker... she speaks aloud what we all think...and does it with more eloquence and flair than we could possibly manage on our own! As such, she fulfills a VITAL function I tell you! Long live murfeel! Down with the evil tyrants of EA! LOL

    *looks around for my pitchfork to follow murfeel with on that long trip to California...*

    So I took a look at it. I thought the playground fence turned green was the least noticeable. Here was some of my testing.

    I made a big square with the fence and then planed out a path with the fence and mooed corn all over the fence and put some corn in front and behind the fence as well to cover up more of the fence. I put some things at the end of the maze and had my sim go to them and he did walk through the path of course cause the fence blocked him.

    My sim admiring his work. Thought it was fun that aliens can scan the corn :P

    And just a little fun with invasions. The sims will run through the maze as well during the invasion.

    Shoot! I was hoping to be able to make Life Fruit Preserves. My Sims never seem to keep any life fruit in their inventories. I guess they're the first item used as fertilizer since they're of Perfect Quality usually. I thought that by making preserves, I could simply open the jar and use them. But the canning station has no options for Life Fruit. Bummer. :cry:

    Hello Nik my dear :) (^.^)/ *waves* I too was disappointed that we could not use the Life Fruit to make jam or preserves :( I am happy that we can use the Plasma Fruit as I play often with vampires :)

    WONDERFUL! Thank you for taking the time to sort this out! I actually think it may be easier to design our mazes and crop circles using fences anyway so this could turn out to be a good thing!

    If you are unaware, I just discovered this..

    I placed a Rustic Rack on the Old Mill lot and stocked it with jams and preserves. Random townies sims took [not purchased] jars then proceded outside to eat toast and scones :)
