* Compatibility: Seasons, Bon Voyage, FreeTime
* Modifications: Semi-Global (affects all flowers)
* Hack Version#: 1.0

Quick Info
~~~~~~~~~~
There are 2 hacks included here.

The first one allows Sims to water one-half tile flower beds, even if a diagonal fence or foundation runs through the tile.

The second one, named df_water_inaccessible_flowers_fix.rar, does the same but also allows you to water all flowers regardless of their location on the lot, including completely inaccessible or blocked ones.  It works for the "full tile" flower beds if the tile is completely surrounded by fences, walls, or foundations.  And it allows for the disposal of all dead flowers, even if 100% surrounded by fencing or if completely inaccessible (such as using cheats to put flower beds on your roof!).

Effects
~~~~~~~
Originally, the game did not allow any Sim or Hydrobot to water these flowers.  It would also prevent you from disposing of such flowers if they died.  Having such a flower bed fully surrounded by fence tiles also prevented watering.  

Sims will still display a 'door' icon above their heads while watering, which means that they are blocked by a wall/fence/foundation.  However, the watering will still be successful and the flowers will get the water they need to live.  All animations work perfectly.

Hey! This is awesome!! It didn't make sense to have the half tiles in the game if all they did was die from lack of water!! Great job!! Will try...

this is great, thanks v much :D

Finally the half flowers will be useful!

Thank-you!!!!  It was so irritating to have the half tile flowers die all the time, or not be able to remove blocked ones!  I am definitely downloading this!!!   Awesome work!!!!  :worship:

another great idea!  Thanks!!

Thanks so much for fixing this, I always thought it was so stupid that you couldn't water those flowers.

Thanks for sharing.

This is very cool.  I love to make gardens with layered flowers and bushes but don't do it very often because of the anger it causes my simmies when they can't reach the plant to give it a drink of water.  This is great.  Thanx Bunches! :clap:

thank you thank you thank you thank you!

Thank you for fixing this issue.

Thank you so much! I quit using plants because I hated the simmies yelling at me all the time.

wonderful idea - thank you!

awesome@!@! thanks for this!

NB7382, I have be waiting for this for so long...Thank you so much!

Terrific! Thankyou. Will it work with just Seasons, or does it require all those EPs listed?

It does not require BV or FT. It will work with only Seasons installed.

Thank you.  It will be good to be able to water all of my plants.

Great! Thanks again. I look forward to another Maxis annoyance disappearing.

Thanks for sharing!!!

Hey, could this be made to allow trimming shrubs? Then our landscaping would work really well.

Thanks so much.

Wow thank you so much for making and sharing this. I hate it that you cant have a normal flower bed without them dieing. Now my sims wont be complete morons and will actully take care of their plants. Thank you again!!~Bee

thank you! Now I can create new gardens without frustration.

Is this compatible with AL?

Hackdiff shows that it shouldn't need updating for AL.  But I will probably be doing a new version soon anyway that allows autonomous watering.  Right now it is only user-directed (you have to click each flower bed manually one-at-a-time).

Thank you. And thank you for a very sensible hack. *plops it in to downloads folder*.

Way AWESOME!!!! Thanks! 3yay

This is a great idea :D I'm so tired of the Gardener complaining that they can't water my Simmies flowers because they're surrounded by a measly fence.
