Is there a way to prevent your sim from using the electronic weed sucker thing when weeding plants?
Sometimes I play in an off the grid lot, an older looking setting (cottage living), or my sims are poor and in all those cases this weed sucker machine looks very stupid.
What's wrong with using your hands?
Thank you.
Pretty sure there’s mods for freezing skills at a certain level; you could lock gardening at a lower level. Though of course that means you wouldn’t get any of the other benefits of leveling it. You could also, without mods, play the No Skills, No Problem scenario - that prevents gaining of any skill.
To get rid of the weeding machine without blocking the skill… there does seem to be a large community of history players. If you play on computer, you could ask around with them for a mod.

A mod that at least changes the animation is possible. I experimented with it a little, though things did look a little awkward. First off since that vacuum is designed to look like it sucks up weeds within an area, the animation I used made it seem like my sim just removed the weeds on one plant then the surrounding weeds just sort of magically disappeared. Also the animation I used was shorter than the vacuum animation, so once the animation was done my sim stood there idling for a couple seconds until the actual interaction finished. The animation I used was the one where a sim uses their hands, and I also tried the animation for Super Sell but it also finished too quickly so it looked a little awkward.
I'm sure a more experienced modder could make something that looks decent, though I'm only capable of simple tuning mods and know nothing about animations. If I knew how I would create a custom version of the Super Sell animation, making it the same duration as the vacuum animation and then set it to the weeding interactions.
