See the ones i put near the flowers came on twice in my sims day, the one in the vegetables however nothing... If you want to find your wrinklers just turn them around so they are on the grass not in the plants, i can't see them ether while inside the plants as they are so small.

Yeah, but I still need to move at least 4 squares of flowers to get down to the ground level to where the sprinklers are. They are in the middle of some large fancy flower beds at my mayors house. Now with that non breaking sprinkler mod I hope I will not be driven mad any longer.

I think the ones in your vegetables will come on, just not very often and not when you think they should. There is a mod some place which changes the watering cycle.

I haven't seen if it works yet and have no idea how old or what EP set up it's for, I just got if off the creators page which gives no clues. I thought it was worth a try.

Once I get back to playing a house rather than building I'll post back on how it worked. I have all Ep's and Sp's so if it works for me it will work for everyone.

Okie thanks a lot i placed the smallest sprinklers on my tomatoes instead and put the faucet it squrits out of on the grass, will see how it goes, maybe the bigger the sprinkler the longer it takes to go off, or maybe because you put it inside the green house it thinks they are inside a house so they don't go off, i will test the second theory next.

I can't think of what's going wrong in your game, but I can tell you that the sprinklers definitely do water the harvestable plants. I have a farm with dozens of garden plots and sprinklers placed to water them, and they do stay watered. My plants are outside, not in a greenhouse, so it's possible your second theory is correct. I'll be interested to see what you find.

Okie the sprinklers on the flowers went off, i didn't see the animation for the ones on my tomatoes though but right after the plants are dripping with water but no change whatsoever in the condition so they must not of gone off. I'm taking the weeds off and it does say it's going up but it stays at sickly if the sprinklers did work.

I've never had a problem with the sprinklers, either in a greenhouse or out of one. I don't know if I have a gardening hack interfering though; none of them say that they affect the sprinklers.

Certain plants do better when planted at certain times. I don't remember off the top of my head what works better when, but I'm sure if you do a little Googling you'll find it. I think the info is on Snooty Sims...

@Charity: I just want a badger, period, gold or otherwise. I like their pissy spirit!

I remember watching a video on youtube of one that got bitten by a snake, then still kicked the snake's ass before it passed out from the poison ... then fricking came back to life after having a nap, poison all sorted. XD

Haha which expansion have you got snakes? i really want the one you can get your sims tanned, can't do that in seasons, which one is it?. So my sprinklers finally worked and turns out it won't pick up on your veg and fruit if you don't compost them ^_^.

@ Charity:Yup, that's a badger. They're awesome. I think they're in the same family as the wolverines we have here in America because we sadly have no badgers. ( No wait! I'm wrong! We do. Learn something new every day. ) Wolverines are pissy, too. I like pissy animals. Always wanted a pet skunk, too.

@ Pygsmyemm: We weren't talking about people with badges in-game. Or snakes in-game for that matter. We were talking about real badgers, the little animals known for being pissy, biting off more than they can chew, and then still kicking ass. They're like the Chuck Norris of the animal world. They want to cull them in England, though, to stop the spread of mad cow disease; I sincerely hope that doesn't happen. We can live without beef, but the world would be a poorer place without badgers. Badgers being badgers, though, I'm guessing they'd shake off culling efforts.

Glad you got your sprinklers going, though!

Hey, you're the one who (inadvertently) brought up badgers when you were talking about "gold gardening badgers." Charity and I just ran with it from there.

Oh and you wanted to know about the EP that gives you tanning? That'd be Bon Voyage. If you get it, I recommend the mod here on MTS -- I think treeag made it? -- that allows your Sims to sunbathe anywhere. Otherwise, sunbathing is restricted to beach lots only, which is lame.

Hehe, pity you can't befriend Stinky Skunk in The Sims 2 (and train him to spray your neighbours).

I haven't seen the skunks much i did only a few times when i played it a few years ago, how do you get them to appear?.

By the way my sprinklers are working on my tomatoes every morning now, it's only once a day but it keeps them watered and healthy it's all they need, so to get them to work place the faucet on the grass and don't forget to fertilize the plants and use the smallest ones as i don't think they work when you place the faucet bit onto the growing veg and fruit ether.

I've had less luck with sprinklers than the gardener, which is that by the time they water, the plants could be dead. And I don't remember EVER seeing sprinklers come on for non-plantable stuff like flowers.
Stand up, speak out. Just not to me..

You know what? My sims tends to bring the skunk back home after a hike.
This is mostly when I see it. But maybe it is also attracted by..harvestables? Fruit trees and/or else?..Because I see them on most my lot, apartment or else..and *I* tend to plant harvestable everywhere. Pets must be a cool attraction too, for a skunk...Plantsim toO! ahah..My Landlord who got transformed into a pwetty Plant..got sprayed 3 times in a row, in one game session..well yeah, in a row..one game session..(go to bed Rosie)
Je mange des girafes et je parle aussi français !...surtout :0)

Skunks like to smell flowers, so planting flowers might attract him-why you want to attract him I'm not sure... Make sure to never try and make the skunk selectable because it's one of those universal NPC's that must not be touched apart from what can be done without cheats. Chase off, watch or pet.

The Merlin Hawkinses have a flower bed they use the sprinklers on (when it's not busy breaking). It was too much of a hassle in the greenhouse and watering is part of building the gardening badge, so they don't do it there, but it works on the flowers. You can't tell when the flowers need watering, so that's the only way I can ever get them to last.

In Sims1, the skunk would come if someone in the house got really stinky...It seems to be fairly random in 2.
Ugly is in the heart of the beholder.
