Gardening Mod

[Lummina]

Hi all,

 

I have the wonderful gardening mod (I believe it was created by SurferApe?) installed but am having a problem setting the ratio portion so that the plants grow/appear at a normal size. I've tried the recommended setting and a few others but my plants all come huge! I'm using the Armory Lab so I have an indoor garden and am trying to make my plants to scale with the plants already established. Anyone have a number I can use to make this happen?

 

Thanks very much,

Bump.

 

Sorry to resort to pushing in line, I know it's a bit rude, but I've got 6 foot tall flax plants and the harrada is a beast to deal with at best.

 

Anyone? I've tried several ratio's but it doesn't seem to make much if any difference at all in the plant size. I'm bewildered...

 

Thanks again,

 

Lummina

Sorry to hear you are having an issue as Complete Gardening is a great mod.

 

I've used that same mod for quite some time (I have v 1.42 - by SurfingApe) and have never had an issue with plant size, other than the plants from Mankar's Paradise (mana blooms) which always seem to grow larger than normal. I grow quite a few plants, specifically wheat and rice and pretty much every type vegetable as I have a mod for a farm at Cropsford. About the only flowers I grow are the mana blooms, nightshade, tiger lily, dragons tongue and peony as decoration around the farm yard. All (other than the mana blooms) seem to grow at reasonably the right scale.

 

I use the Patient mode with 5 days waiting for plants to bloom and have left the Scale size to default (random sizes from .75 to 1.25 scale) so plants are various sizes to avoid them all looking identical. I also rotate the planting sac to have the plants look different as well. All I can say is that the mod works well for me and I have not experienced the scale size you seem to be having.

 

I do not use the Armory Lab mod you mention so I am unsure if that is effecting the scale of the plants. The only thing I can suggest is look at your mods and see if there is something that may be conflicting or perhaps effecting the scale. You could try placing the mod last in your load order (temporarily to test) as well and see if that helps.

Hello Tidus,

 

Thank you for weighing in on this. I've been playing Oblivion for ages--I'm slow but thorough--and this has bugged me since the get-go.

 

The gardening mod--and I agree it is one of the best--came as an add-on with the Armory Lab. Perhaps that may be the issue. I did try moving the gardening esp. to the end of my mod load and re-built my Bash Patch but sadly, corn is still waay taller than I and watermelons could be used as bombs. Inside the lab or out of doors, no difference. Suppose I'll just live with it but I thought I'd give the bigger brains a shot. Note: I did try looking on the web but found nothing of any use. Guess I'm "special" *LOL*. And yes, my mana blooms are also wickedly huge so that must simply be a silly glitch in the mod itself.

 

And Tidus, If you haven't checked out Tom Spergan's Armory Lab mod I strongly suggest you do. It's not just for fighters--I'm certainly not one--far from it! It has a ton of features for the gardener and chemist. It's on the Nexus file site (I'd put in the link but I forgot how to do that...no surprise to the folks who know me...sigh...) There is a new version submitted by someone (not Mr. S.) that I personally didn't care for so you may want to look for the older modular versions. Just my opinion.

 

Thank you again for your thoughts. And your farm sounds really nice. Currently I'm covering the shabby shack on the waterfront in the IC with everything I can spare to spruce things up. If ya' can't paint it, at least you can plant it!

 

Best regards,
