RICH FARM SUCCESS AND PROGRESS

[Queen Droxxanna]

With such interest shown in Snowy's poverty run, and at his suggestion, I decide to create a discussion on my RICH FARM run, seeing how much could be accomplished during the early years of a LARGE and WEALTHY farm.

This wont be a day to day post, as I've already finished the first year, but rather on how and what I accomplished and all the mods that I found compatible, and some that didn't work.

To begin with, I spent a few months testing out over 100 mods, finding those I liked, and those that I didn't like, switching out ones that created errors or game crashing, and figuring which ones worked best together.
I finally had so many mods that my game wouldn't save due to memory shortage, and I at last was forced to switch to the new BETA versions of almost everything. This meant a lot more errors popping up, and I became well acquainted with the SMAPI PARS LOG, I have updated, and updated more time then I can count.

I must make very clear, I am NOT a coding expert and have no idea how to make mods myself, so its been a learn as I go progress.

Once I had tested out everything, and had almost everything working the way I wanted, I created a brand new farm on the largest map I could set up: SVE IMMERSIVE FARM REMASTERED.
My world map also includes: RIDGESIDE VALLEY, GRAMPLETON FIELDS, and DEEP WOODS, as well at the AQUARIUM mod. This gives me lots of room to explore.

For the farm house, I kept the original size, but added to the cellar with POOKACHUS CELLAR, which gives 4 large rooms to fill with casks how ever you like. For the outside looks, I went with ELLE'S SEASONAL BUIDINGS, which gives you a choice of several looks for all your buildings,, and you can customize each differently or make them all look the same. I painted all my farm buildings with the same color scheme.

I like a lot of ELLE'S mods, as they are well designed, uncluttered and compatible with just about every thing else.
Which is why I went with ELLIE'S SPACIOUS IDEAL GREENHOUSE, which not only increases your planting room X4, but has a second room dedicated to trees with room for 48 trees. AWESOME, fruit all year long. A great place to make full use of BONSTER'S TREES, FRUITS & VEGGIES.

To get around this big new farm/world of mine, I definitely needed the TRACTOR mod and ELLE'S NEW HORSES, so I could ride my UNICORN.

Well that's the basic layout to start the farm, but of course there are lots of smaller detail mods included, Will go into more later.
Feel free to ask if you have any questions about any of the mods I mention. I will also post lots of pictures so you can see the results.

Have you considered posting your full mod list?

I might when I'm done here, but its very long, and there are a lot of small side mods that are simply requirements for the main mods.

thanks, I did not know any of that.

Just an update on the family progress. Rich Farm intends to have a large wealthy family as well, so multiple spouses is definitely part of the play thru, but I won't be marrying 17 people like I did in my last run, in which I tested the MULTIPLE SPOUSES mod.
Now that the game has updated, I have switched to the FREE LOVE mod, but it isn't as all encompassing as the Multiple spouses mod...... waiting for the mod creator to finish the required mods to go with it.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2676771481

However, so far I have married 7 spouses.,from Pelican town, SVE and RV., but have only had 2 children since the Free Love mod doesn't include more children, and I'm told he wont have the new parts of the mod ready until January. I'm debating whether or not to reinstall the Multiple Spouses mod, even though it wasn't intended for the 1.5.5....... just to see if it works.

The main glitch I have experienced in this play thru is the spouse rooms of my non-vanilla spouses arrive unfurnished, or become unfurnished the next time i marry. I even had the furniture I placed in one room disappear when I married another spouse. I never had any problems before with the MULTIPLE SPOUSES mod with spouse rooms, all 17 rooms appeared furnished in the order that I married them.

After building all my buildings, and the 4 obelisks, my funds had run low, and Robin was asking if I wanted to build Pam a house.
However after collecting a months worth of products, and a case of Faberge eggs, and a few dozen jars of Middlemist Red Honey, my cash was back up over $!M and I built Pam a new house. She is very happy, and Penny has fallen in love with me, and seduced me in the pool late one night. Maybe I will make her wife #8.

One of the Mods I had installed, but hadn't really paid attention to is PPJA MIZUS FLOWERS, which I had downloaded only because it was required by another mod. I began to plant a variety of flowers in order to get as many different kinds of honey as I can, and to see what they would sell for. Most weren't worth much more the wild honey.

HOWEVER, I did discover a gold mine!!! Sold in the Garden village, are seeds for RAFFLESIA FLOWERS. I had never heard of that kind of flower so I only planted a few, but I got a jar of Rafflesia Honey, which I placed in a Cask to age it. I sold the one jar and was SHOCKED at the price it fetched.

$73,080. for ONE JAR of Iridium quality RAFFLESIA HONEY.

OK, I am now a florist and honey farmer.

Just reached Thursday 24 Fall of year 2, and the bank account sits at $3M.
Looking forward to what Grandpa says at the start of year 3.

Winter has arrived in Year 2 of RICH FARM. The place looks great even covered with snow. The flowers I planted are still blooming, making it look very colorful.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2681696821

On mod I'm really pleased with is the CROPS ANYWHERE AND ANYTIME. This mod allows you to plant all crops year round, and all trees anywhere around town, in Grampleton Fields, and even in Ridgewood village. And trees continue to produce fruit every day of the year.
Trees full of fruit look great in the winter against the snow on the ground, even if they have no leaves.

I have 3 large garden beds, with an orchard in the fourth corner, and I placed one single Juminos hut in the middle of the garden area. With the mod for BETTER JUMINOS also installed, I can set them to work over a larger area, to cover all the garden. I don't have them harvesting the fruit trees as their hut would fill up to fast. They need a bigger hut, lol.
They work regardless of weather and in the evenings as well, Now don't think I am abusing the help, as I also PAY them daily, and they are quite happy with their pay. If I forget to pay them or accidently remove their payment from their hut, they let me know they will not work until they get paid.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2681697573

Juniper berries are plentiful on my farm, and the Jumino's seem to love them, so they get to keep a portion of the harvest as their payment. I may decide to give them a higher share since the harvest has been so plentiful this year.

[Queen Droxxanna]

Grandpa's shed looks great even in the winter too, I planted some RAFFLESIA SEEDS, and set up some bee hives for them along the fence. I adjusted the settings on the tractor so I will NOT accidentely harvest the flowers needed for honey production, to keep my bees happy.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2681698559

Still haven't decided what to put in Grandpa's shed yet, Maybe I will use it to process all the fish and fish eggs i'm collecting, to keep the smell out of my house and warehouse.

Or maybe I will turn it into an Ice cream parlor and invite the towns folk to come visit.
One section in the warehouse is making ice cream and sorbets in lots of flavors.

Any suggestions???

I finally cleared up some glitches with certain mods in the game. With the update I had removed the MULTIPLE SPOUSES mod, as the developer said he was creating new mods to replace it. HOWEVER, he didn't have everything ready yet, and the CUSTOM SPOUSE Rooms mod was NOT compatible with SVE & RV spouse rooms, and he didn't have the child room mod ready either. This I found annoying since MULTIPLE SPOUSES mod did EVERYTHING well.
So I finally decided to test it out and indeed MULTIPLE SPOUSES mod IS compatible with the new updated version of the game.
I then deleted the Custom spouse rooms mod, and let Multiple spouses mod do its thing, And CHAZAMM, all my spouse rooms are now fully furnished that way they should be, and everyone is happy. I of course had to remove all the furniture I had placed in the empty rooms, and have lots of extra decorations ready now.

[Queen Droxxanna]

MULTIPLE SPOUSES mod also allows MANY more children and the ability to expand the child's room to fit extra cribs and beds. (I previously had 9 children in beds in last farm).
As you can see from the picture I added 2 more cribs and now have 4 child beds ready.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2682409863

The room is ready for the children to play with teddy bears, and everyone enjoys the small fish aquariums. There are chairs for rocking the babys, the first of which arrived on NEW YEARS EVE.
For some strange reason I can not change the wall paper on the extended part of the room or add windows and wall decorations?!? I could do so on my last farm, so don't what the issue is here. Something to do with map coding and the new update.....

Hey Soaring, it was fun looking through your pictures here while reading :> You should upload and share more screenies more often. You have a good eye for detail ^.^

[Queen Droxxanna]

I'm still having some issues with the mods to make the children grow up. At one point they looked and acted like children, and talked to me frequently and slept in the beds I had moved. But then with changes made to mods, they returned to look like toddlers, but still slept in the right beds.

I fiddled around, installing and uninstalling child mods to get things working right. Problem is most of them are old and have not been updated.
The Unique children mod won't let me modify who the parents are and who the children look like, unless I know how to create my own content pack and code. Which I don't know. So the two children I currently have think their mother is Maddie, and Unique children mod has no idea who Maddie is (from RV).

I found the unofficial update to CHILDtoNPC, and the updated FARMERS CHILDREN, and installed both. The 2 kids now look like children, instead of toddlers again, and leave the house and wander around. The weird thing is , there are 2 of each of them!! One set wanders around town, the other set just stands by the new cribs and wont talk to me.

I switched the mods out and in, trying both separately, but they need to be together. That did get rid of the the duplicates , but the kids now sleep standing by the new cribs, where their beds used to be, not in the beds.

The Farmers Children mod says NOT to have more then 2 children, or the mod breaks, so we shall see what happens.

Thanks, I have more coming. Hope you like the story too.

Finally reached the end of year 2 and RICH FARM has been VERY PROFITABLE.
CASH IN BANK $10,000,000. The factory warehouse is running smoothly, producing lots of products every day of all types.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2682453749

tanks full of legendary fish make a nice addition to the warehouse floor.
And the clean room on the opposite side smells wonderful with all the flowers and herbs being processed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2682457144

Lost count of how many villagers I have at 10 hearts, pretty much all of Pelican town , and most of Ridgewood too.
Even though I have 7 wives and one husband, there are several who are still flirting with me, giving hints that we should be together....... maybe, we shall see.
The 2 children born in year one are grown and should be going to school soon.
Baby #3 was born on the 28'th of winter, with 3 wives due to give birth in the first week of the new year.

With all the work I did in the warehouse, I still haven't decided what to do in the expanded cellar, as most wine is being aged in the warehouse. Still using the cellar to age cheese and mayonaise thought.

[Queen Droxxanna]

NEW YEARS EVE Celebration in the ridge north of RV, every one was there for a great time, with lots of food. The fire lit up the night and we all made our resolutions for the new year.

Mine: concentrate on my family and keep all my wives happy.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2682460569

What will Grandpa think of all my hard work, even though I did nothing with his shed??
See you in the new year.

[Queen Droxxanna]

WOW, WAIT, WHAT???
So I went to bed on winter 28, game saved, but as soon as I woke up, the game crashed.
Am I too rich??

NO, all is fine. I exited the game and reloaded it.

Spring 1 of year 3 and all is well.

Grandpa appeared and is VERY PROUD of all my work and success and rewarded me with the Statue of Perfection.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2682659604

i quickly let all my animals outside for the beautiful spring day. They are all very happy.
The pigs especially : 85 TRUFFLES in ONE DAY.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2682660245

That's what happens when you pamper your pigs all winter long, instead of turning them into Bacon.

[Queen Droxxanna]

WELL BEHAVED CHILDREN at last.

With a child born on NEW YEARS EVE, and another born on NEW YEARS DAY, and yet a third baby born on Spring day 2, I now have 5 children.
And the game did NOT brake as predicted by the Farmers children mod.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2682666691

As well the two older children are finally sleeping in the beds like they are supposed to,

Two more of my wife's are expecting this week as well, so I will eventually need to add more beds. You can have multiple babies in one crib, so that won't be a problem until end of summer.
Looking forward to seeing just how big I can make the children's room. I have had 9 child beds on my last farm just fine.
Shall I go for an even dozen on Rich Farm?? Why not, I can afford them.

OH, and in case you are wondering how I had 3 in a row, I made adjustments to the config file for the MULTIPLE SPOUSES mod, changed the "ask for baby" chance to 1.0, so every day one of my wives asked to hanky panky in the bed. Hey, if you are going to have 7 wives, you have to be fair and share yourself all around. lol.

My one and only husband asked for a baby as well, and I said yes,. ... coming soon.
