A True Garden Mod

[Evarin]

I know there are a 1-2 mods which allow you to grow a type of plant in your house. That is certainly the right idea, but a bit limited in scope. I would like to see a mod where you must travel out into the wastelands finding rare specimens such as mushrooms and even the exceptional living tree/plants (Oasis). You then purchase the supplies needed to grow them from a specialized vendor, nurture the plants, and watch them grow (They should actually increase in size). Make them harvestable if you wish for benefits, much like a consumable, or even able to be sold at a profit for your hard work. Ideally, you would do this all in/near your main house, but traveling to a specific location so the modder had space to work with might be an easier idea.

 

Basically the mod would incorporate exploration for rare mushrooms/plants, investment of time/caps for appropriate supplies, and reward for your hard work.

I'd also like this very much, and I'd make something like it, but the only thing holding me back is models for the plants, and I don't know a thing about modeling myself. There's harvestable plants in New Vegas, but porting them to 3 unfortunately isn't allowed except for personal use.

I know nothing about modding beyond installing them, but this idea has certainly had me wanting to give it a try. For plant models, I was thinking of ONLY using the models found in this game, which I believe is limited to a few types of Mushrooms and the trees at Oasis. I think some of the DLCs had more, but for all the hundreds of hours i've played i've never actually got around to doing any of them. The idea is rather than simply having them appear you would have to go out and harvest them, possibly with skill checks, equipment checks, even a perk tree devoted to it. At any rate, it is fun to dream, no?
