Farm renter paying produce to farm owner
Several of my HoB households rent a lot where they pay rent by delivering some fresh produce to the lot owner's household. I'm trying to find a good way to deliver the produce, but it got harder than I expected...
Top left is Pivian Mox, an in-game born from Gloomville, he stayed for a couple years as a live-in farmer at Sür-Blyth Farm in Brindleton, and now he found that the Rossie dukedom's little farm at 4 Olde Mill Lane in Old New Henford was available as the previous renter died of old age. Pivian hopes that his old girlfriend Tammy, they were a couple as teenagers but she grew up years before him - will join him. She will inherit a big family farm eventually, and if they find back to what the got, a few years in HoB would be good training.

Well, the idea is that Pivian will deliver produce at Rossie Palace. I've not set on the exact amount yet, but I started with delivering 50% of what he harvested. In the future it seems easier to simply deliver a set amount of mixed produce. He was greeted by the Butler, and I figured the only way to hand over the 6 eggs was to give friendly gifts. Unfortunately he could only gift one egg at the time, so it took hours... and I see that I'll need an easier and quicker way.
Today Pivian delivered 3 eggs, 3 carrots, 3 basil and 3 green peas(?). I tested if he could just leave it on the ground. Then I switched to the Palace and it turned out the Butler could only eat or plant, not put in inventory because he was not the owner. Sigh...
I tried placing the 12 items on a table, and then going to b/b mode and see what happened to the produce if adding the table in the household inventory. Well, status per item did not change. Funny thing is that the options are different, probably depending on how old (ep wise) the items are. The basil could easily be moved to fridge by cursor, as if Butler David was the owner. The eggs could be "put away", and I even tested that the eggs could actually be used for cooking by cooking 3 egg based dishes. But the carrot and peas could still only be eaten.
I wish we had a crate to add small items like this, then gift the full crate and switching ownership to all the content. It now seems like I must sort out what produce can be used by the Palace. Pivian will definitely not pay rent with carrots...
Well, the palace household was served a different meal, I suppose they are used to something a little more interesting than eggs and toast...
Did anyone find a good way to hand over a bigger amount of produce to another household?
