As for cross-pack compatibility, for some mysterious reason the local sims in HoB seem to like to make De-Stressing Concoction on the outdoor barbecue on my sims' lot and leave jars around as presents. They now have dozens of these jars in their inventories and in the fridges. It's a low-level potion, so I guess it is easy to make, but one bonus is that it completely removes tense buffs, and my sims seem to get stressed quite a lot while working on the farm so that is a great help. Another bonus is that sometimes these local visitors are interrupted and leave an incomplete pot of this potion bubbling on the stove or grill. Both my sim parents in my current save have gained up to level 3 of the herbalism skill just completing these half-finished potions.
De-stressing concoction is a result of one of the Eco NAPs, I forgot which one exactly. For some reason, the NAPs are very active even though I have voting turned off in my game and none are enforced. That might be the case in your game too.
That's neat; I didn't know that was the result of a NAP. I always immediately cheat each neighborhood to the max with 4 appropriate NAPs on moving in with a family, and I did the same here too. But I must have picked one I had never used before -- perhaps the Self-sufficiency one? I didn't mind all the De-stressing Concotions; I actually thought it was kind of helpful to get so many. Additionally, as I was saying, my sims gained Herbalism as a result, without having to read a book or travel to Granite Falls to find ingredients.
