Seed packets to open all at once
I would like there to be a way to open all seed packets at once from inventory. It would make game play a lot easier. Please consider.

@Destiny62613 added my Me Too. I absolutely agree with you. I often add seed packets to new houses from build mode in Freebuild before Sims move in, that way it doesn't matter what their skill level is. It takes a while to open them all once they've been added to their inventory.
I'd also really like to see this for other items too, like time capsules, fossils, voidcritters, geodes and holiday crackers. I find that the options move around (I'm on Xbox) and when I'm opening a few things quickly I keep hitting "Add to Favourites" which gets right on my last nerve.
Great idea!
@Destiny62613 and @simsplayer818 I agree!!! Things got especially bad with Seasons when soooo many new plants were added to the game, and also if you participated in the Harvest Fest Gnome activity, they would spew tons of seed packets (which I don't mind as I usually have gardens on most of my lots, and it is a good way of getting the rarer plants!). But the problem was that when they would leave so many seed packets behind, it took forever to open them all! 😖😓
- @PugLove888 I cancelled Harvestfest for that reason, plus a few of the gnomes started fires...and that was not cool! I do not like gnomes, in fact my childhood bestie next door knows this and buys them to annoy me. (So I grab them when she's not looking and send her notes saying "we have your gnome"). 👎
But with the seed packets it complicates things because you can't queue them properly. It's Open, wait, open, wait. So it really does get time consuming. That's why I started just adding equal batches of each type to the new lots so they can queue opening one from each batch, if that makes sense. By the time they've started opening them all I can go back to the first batch and queue the next one. I do the same with holiday crackers.
I'm playing my legacy Super Sims right now and they're collecting just about everything in the game. So I've had a lot of stuff to open! TIP! Pause game and queue up opening packets. Unpause for one or two seconds all will be opened. Repeat. It takes a couple of minutes to clear an entire room that way.
- @jpkarlsen Thanks so much for the tip! I must try this out tomorrow.
@jpkarlsen , this is what I've been doing, but it still takes too long to do once Harvest Fest is over. But thanks for the info for those who didn't know to do this.
@simsplayer818 Each Gnome is tied to a certain type of gift. Some make sense like the Bunny Gnome wanting a salad, and the Alien Gnome wants the Future Cube. Most will want coffee, and the then there are several who want pie. The Ghost wants Fruitcake and the one wearing the box wants a toy. For the rest, When in doubt give coffee, and if that doesn't work give pie! (I have a chart with pictures on my Desktop of my computer so I never make a mistake anymore. ). I think it is always worth it for the free seeds! 🌱🥰- @PugLove888 That's handy to know. Before I switched it off my Sims just ignored them, which is probably why they started fires! Talk about a gnome scorned!
@simsplayer818 , "Hell hath no fury like a GNOME scorned!" 😱🤣🤣🤣
So, not only were all your Sims in a bad mood from the fire, and you had to pay to replace burned object, you also missed out on the Acheivment points that you would have recieved had you completed the Gnome task! 😥 No wonder you turned them off! 😅
You can do a few test runs with the things I mentioned in the other post to see how well it goes. 😊- @PugLove888 the Fall season has just started in my current game so I may reinstate Harvestfest and give it another try lol. I'll save before trying so if they trash the house no harm done!
It's the creepy way they randomly disappear and reappear around my Sims, (ugh, shudders)! Even the paranormal spirits are less creepy. - @jpkarlsen Another tip, is if you have the Home Chef Hustle, to simply sell all of those unopened seed packs to your neighbours with the food stand that came with the Kit. Crank up the price to at least 50% and you'll earn way more than opening and sell the individual seeds/produce.
