I got all the levels fixed for Gardening. I'm glad they made the changes as you should be able to fertilize earlier. I'll go look for any mentions of the plantain there and correct it. Appreciate the info, too! I will try to get these in the guide soon, but always prioritize the new Skill/Career. I am sure we will see plenty of changes up on the site by the weekend.

You're AMAZING me with the amount of info you've discovered, and i think people should take a look at this if they wonder about this game pack - plenty of new stuff, for sure, and I know you're not even done with all the additions given the fish and insects as well! Thanks a million Nutella. I will try to update all the Guide's lists after I make the page on Herbalism!

I think with this info that the guide will be updated the fastest it's ever been. I still need to do a rewards page since life threw some curve balls at me, but I'm ever glad for the support I get from the community and folks like you. It's clear to me I never could have done all this on my own

5 New Fish:

Small sample size fish value, the range is probably wider. 

Walleye ~ Common ~ $22-$81
Available in most fishing spots in granite falls.

Yellow Perch ~ Common ~ $24-$43
Available in most fishing spots in granite falls.

Red Crawdad ~ Uncommon ~ $11-$16
Available in most fishing spots in granite falls.

Blue Crawdad ~ Rare ~ $81
I only manage to catch this in the hidden area fishing spot (Hermit's house, deep woods)

Mountain Lionfish ~ Rare ~ $166-$231
I only manage to catch this in the hidden area fishing spot (Hermit's house, deep woods)


*** Last collection is insect, and I am NOT looking forward to completing that.  It is a pain without any sorts of collection helper.

[ClayMask]

Thanks for all the information!  You sure found that out quickly.  I had read that there was supposed to be a new career with this expansion, but I don't see one when my Sim tries to find a job.  I wonder if there might be one as a different branch in culinary, or one that can be found some other way?  I also remember reading that there is a Bigfoot lifestate introduced.

[MarianT]

Clay Mask, there's no Bigfoot. Somebody on Sims Wiki (I think) made the leap from Hermit to Bigfoot, and then it got picked up. Herbalism is a skill, rather than a career, but I imagine you can make money from selling the potions.

[Nutella]

I can't find any new career.  Herbalism can make remedies (potions), you can sell them to make money, but it isn't worth a lot.  More money can be make from selling the rare insects, that is if you can find them.

6 New Handiness Woodworking Sculptures:

Level 2 -- Garden Planter ($17)
Level 2 -- Garden Pot ($15)
Level 3 -- Mirror ($87)
Level 4 -- Wall Shelf ($87)
Level 5 -- Wall Hanging ($125)
Level 7 -- Camping Mascot Sculpture ($375) -- need to go to granite falls and learn the schematic (minimum level requirement 7)

[Carl]

I read that on the Wiki about bigfoot too. It's kind of funny to me that yesterday lots of us were believing in and looking for a bigfoot in our games. I live in an area where plenty of people believe it's a thing and there was even a short-lived show starring some locals looking for a sasquatch in our woods. It's a shame there isn't one in the Game Pack though, as life states are big features and introducing one in each of the GPs would have led to us having like.. 25 of them.
