Do you sometimes feel like you're rolling a boulder up a mountain, only to be pushed back to the base when you finally reach the top?
I certainly do!
But I can't mod life, so I present to you my Pacha mod instead!
Control the respawn of debris on your fields or remove it altogether!
You can install it and by default the growth rate will be a bit below half of what the base game is. If you want to absolutely stop anything from growing because your arms can't take it anymore* (I totally get you!), there is an easy setting called "Stunt All Growth" which you just set to true and everything will stop respawning.
* Only recommended if you're more advanced in the game, as your fields are your only source of grass for a while.
And that's it!
Now, should you want to tweak it further or just learn a bit about how it all works, read on!
By default, Pacha regenerates up to 5% of your fields in debris everyday, up to a coverage of 90% of your field space. During Winter these rates go down to 3% and 40% respectively. The actual growth will depend on how much debris is already on your fields, meaning the more debris, the faster you'll get to those upper limits; while the less debris the slower it will be. Every Spring and Winter the game will regenerate debris on your fields until the maximum coverage is reached (or the empty space ends, whichever comes first). If you ever clear 100% of everything it should only be back after Seasonal Regeneration.
To change this behaviour, I included the following settings:
** In both numerical settings, the values will be used for all seasons. In Winter the values are automatically halved.
*** Existing debris will not be removed, the mod only affects new debris.
Enjoy!

If you ever clear 100% of everything it should only be back after Seasonal Regeneration.
To change this behaviour, I included the following settings:
- Stunt All Growth: Quick setting if you just want to stop it all and not bother with numbers. Set this to true and nothing will ever respawn!*
- Daily Growth Rate: This is the rate at which stuff will spawn on a new day. It's a number between 0 and 1, where 0 means "don't generate anything" and 1 means "generate as much as you can". Base game is 0.05 (5%) during Spring, Summer and Autumn; and 0.03 (3%) during Winter. Mod default is 0.02 (2%) during Spring, Summer and Autumn; and 0.01 (1%) during Winter**. This setting does not affect Seasonal Regeneration.
- Maximum Occupied Space: This is the maximum coverage allowed for your fields. It's also a number between 0 and 1, where 0 means "I don't want any debris at all" and 1 means "cover aaaaall the spaces!". Base game is 0,9 (90%) during Spring, Summer and Autumn; and 0,4 (40%) during Winter. Mod default is 0,5 (50%) during Spring, Summer and Autumn; and 0,25 (25%) during Winter**. This affects Seasonal Regeneration, so if it's set to 0 you should never get any debris respawning at all, same as if you set "Stunt All Growth" to true.
- Use rates in New Game: By default debris generation is left untouched when you start a new game so you can have the closest experience to the base game as possible. However, if you set this to true, it will consider your custom rates for a new game as well. So if you set everything to 0 and start a new game, you'll get an empty field just like the one in the screenshot.
** In both numerical settings, the values will be used for all seasons. In Winter the values are automatically halved.
