@83bienchen:
I have a bunch of your mods - I may even have that one. Thanks for the link; I'll definitely look at it!
That's actually the commodity I was looking for in the XML tunings, and was unable to figure out. There were a lot to go through, and I couldn't figure out specifically what XML to change.

Ah, all my spellcasters take that, but I hadn't considered it. Does florolorial then do only a single plant at a time, or does it do a range of plants? With my money trees, I tend to not space the trees apart, but put them all in a clump with two planter-spaces empty for the Sim to reach the center tree, and then do a Super Sell on all 23 trees in the clump. So my Sims don't really have direct access to any of the trees not on the edges of that clump, and therefore can't directly de-weed or de-bug the inner trees. I frankly never considered Florolorial as a solution (never used it, for some reason), but it's something to consider. Especially if it works in an area of effect, and not just on a single tree.
Gives me even more of a reason for my main Sims to be spellcasters, not that I ever needed an excuse to make them so. :p.
