About the hack:
I've included three simple hacks.
"No Water Many Over-watering" changes when the "Water Many" option appears. It will only appear when the plant needs to be watered. This fixes the annoying behavior that "Water Many" always waters the plant you first clicked on regardless if it needs to be watered or not causing that plant to become over-watered.
"No Spray" disables the spray option, including spray many. This is for people with historical sims or people who think that spraying pesticides on your fresh veggies is unrealistic.
"Less Bugs" lowers the number of new insect infestations in your garden. This is most useful in conjunction with the above "No Spray" hack. Its also good if insects bother you but you don't want to eliminate them completely. Technically it reduces new infections by 3/4, meaning you have about 1/2 to 2/3 less bugs at any given time.
Let me know if anyone has any problems. The amount of code is truly minimal, so I don't foresee any conflicts. They work fine in my game. Still, they should be considered "in testing" until enough people confirm all is well. Update 9/3/09: No problems so far so I'm taking this out of "in testing".
About me:
This is my first custom hack. I'm hoping to create a playable medieval neighborhood that not only looks medieval but also plays medieval. Stay tuned for more (and more complicated) hacks!
