What is Gardening and Farming?
This mod adds many new tools into Morrowind that allows you as a player to participate in the growing and customizing of your own garden or farm.

What it adds:
It adds 29 new unique seeds that you can use to plant into the ground. These 29 new seeds can grow into 29 different plants, vegetation, mushrooms and more. And 57 different variations in total.

It adds in tools that you can purchase and utilize to customize your plants to your desire. These include the following:
Gardening Hoe = This is the most basic of tools you will need to harvest seeds and ingredients from your plants.
Harvest Basket = This is a must have if you intend to harvest ingredients from your plants. (Note: If you are not wearing this, you will only gather seeds.)
Gardening Shears = This will trim down your plants, effectively shrinking them down in size.
Gardening Waterskin = This will water your plants allowing them to grow back to the ‘normal’ size if you trimmed them too small.
Gardening Waterskin (Large) = This will over water your plants, effectively causing them to grow much larger than their normal size.
Gardening Hammer = This will hammer down the ground around your plants to sink them deeper into the soil.
Gardening Shovel = This will dig up your plants from the ground if you happen to sink them too deep with the Hammer.
Farming Scythe = This more expensive tool will allow you to harvest a higher number of seeds and/or ingredients from your plants.
DON’T PANIC: The weight of all of these tools are compensated for needing to carry around so many.

Where are the seeds you ask?
Well you won’t find them from the wild plants growing around Morrowind. (This is due to conflicts with other mods). No, you will find them in the bellies of the wandering creatures that eat them. You will come across many seeds from the corpses of Rats, Scribs, Cliff Racers, and many more. So get hunting, or should I say “Farming”.
In order to help you kill these beasts, 4 unique Scythes have been added to the game. You can find them at random traders. Cost and Attack power are relative to other weapons of similar types to keep the balance in the game.
The 4 new Scythes are as followed:
Imperial Farming Scythe
Ivory Farming Scythe
Glass Farming Scythe
Daedric Farming Scythe

Note: You can also find seeds from random sacks.

Two new Armor Sets have been added to the game. Each with their own unique look. All of the pieces can be found at random traders.
Gardening Set
Farming Set

A new Skill has been added to the game.
Gardening
This skill has been added to the ‘Other Skills’ Section.
You will slowly level up this skill with every seed you plant, and every time you harvest from your plants.
The higher the skill, the more ingredients you will get.
WARNING: Just like all of the skills in Morrowind, Gardening at low levels will come with challenges. You will not have the best luck with successfully planting of your seeds. You will also not be able to get seeds or ingredients from your plants right away. You will need to level up a few levels first before you start to improve your skills with planting/harvesting.
Note: Spoilers on the exact level requirements are in the attached ReadMe.

However, that being said, the two new gear sets mentioned above have a hidden benefit. If you dress like a Gardener/Farmer you will act like a Gardener/Farmer. Wearing pieces of the gear will significantly increase your chances to plant the seeds. Helping to quicken your level up process.

How do you plant a seed?
Drop it onto the ground.

How long does it take to grow each plant?
48 in game hours per plant.

***Optional but highly recommended***
If you have the Mod “Perfect Placement”, you can move your plants around anywhere you like and set them down. Word of caution. Doing this will always set your plants down from the lowest part of the plant. You will need the Gardening Hammer to sink them down into the ground again.

You have too many seeds and don’t know what to do with them?
You can sell them, you can eat them. I also recommend a mod called 'Trash Can' that adds baskets around towns that you can toss junk into.

Requirements:
Tribunal
Bloodmoon
OAAB Data
Tamriel Data
Morrowind Code Patch
MGE XE
MWSE
Skills Module

Installation:
Put my Data Files folder into your Morrowind Game folder.
Before starting the game, make sure to check mark GardeningandFarming in your mod list.

Credits:
I want to give special thanks to abot. I had some talk with him for the MWSE scripting for the Skill Addon.
All of the meshes and textures should be Bethesda assets and/or free to use.
The rest of the coding and graphical edits were from myself.

Special Notes:
My idea for this project began with a mod called Advanced Herbalism where you could also plant in that one. But I expanded much more on the roleplay aspect of Gardening and Farming. And decided to stay away from the wild plants in favor of the popular Graphic Herbalism mod.

Hope you enjoy the Mod. Thank You.
