[Feedback] [HR] Please make manure an option to fertilize oversized crops

Hello!  I noticed that manure is not an option to fertilize oversized crops from Cottage Living. 

This image shows normal manure in my sim's inventory.

However, it does not show as an option when I select Fertilize Crop.

It seems like this is a missed opportunity for cross-pack gameplay and I hope that this could be changed.  Thank you for your time and consideration!

  • @JonaO703 I completely agree! 🙌 Clarity in the pie menu options and confirmation that it will work is helpful and encouraging to folks trying to perform various farming/gardening tasks. I would love seeing as many cross-farm tasks as possible between the two packs, as I fully intend to combine the animals from each on my farms, as I assume many others will also do. Thanks!

    I would also like to be able to use the fertiliser from chickens, cows, etc on normal crops.

    @sheridanhoughton Yes! I completely agree! Chicken poo is great fertilizer, and it makes complete sense that all livestock poo would count as fertilizer for plants of both categories - oversized and regular. 🌱

  • I was surprised about this as well, it gets my Me Too. Many a giant vegetable competition is won in my part of the world with mountains of manure. Fond childhood memories (kind of). I complained at the time as it arrived by the sackful and I stayed well clear of the garden...but I celebrated the wins!

    So I'd like to see this changed if it's possible to do so. 

  • @JonaO703  I'm surprised too that they didn't add the oversized plants. Hope they listen to you. 

    @simsplayer818  That's funny about staying away from the garden and celebrating the wins! LOL Just wondering are you in New ZeaLand? I met another person that said they were gutted a bunch and that's were he was from.

    @ReneHollyDesign1 I'm in the North East of England, we Geordies say it a lot. We also have a lot of Leek clubs here lol, hence the fertilizer knowledge 🤣.
    I'd love to be in New Zealand though it looks awesome.

    I totally I agree! I'd been searching for a way to use the manure on the crops, but I was so shocked it wasn't an option!

    Going a step further, Horse Ranch, Cottage Living, and Eco Living could be tied together by recycling the manure into oversized crop fertilizer. Being able to craft manure into oversized crop fertilizer would provide an added game mechanic, improve immersion, and harmonize three different EPs.

    This is the kind of small feature that would make a significant improvement on gameplay. I think of things like this all the time, too.

    Then again, I'd rather existing features be improved in the form of bug fixes first and foremost. There are still so many bugs and broken mechanics that need attention, like the hatchable chicken eggs disappearing, for example.
