Download Fertilize & Evolve All Mod v1.02

My mods are kept compatible with the latest patches and do not break frequently. To see which mods need updated check my Mod Status and Links Post where you can also find support.

Update  1.02 - March 6, 2024

Fixed tunings so that no packs are required for functionality.

Update  0.41 - Jan 8 2022:

Fertilize All is now available on giant crops from Cottage Living

Fertilize All

Fertilizing in Sims 4 is a big pain. You cannot queue unless you use different items, and you've still got to go into the picker every single time. Pick the same item and watch as your queue is killed.

Fertilize all will fix this. Pick a stack and it will use every item in that stack until every eligible plant in your garden is fertilized! This is not a cheat, it does not harm balance, as the Sim must still take the time to fertilize them all.

Evolve All

Ever dealt with evolving plants on a 50+ plant garden? Evolve shuffles around based on if the plant is harvestable or not. You can do it paused, but it's a massive pain to tell which plants can evolve due to the way the sparkles work.

Pick a plant and choose Evolve All and watch as every plant suitable for evolution in your garden evolves at once!

Note: Evolve all does not count toward the gardening aspiration. So use regular evolve on that stage to get past it, then you can safely use evolve all.


YOU DO NOT NEED THIS MOD IF YOU HAVE SEASONS TUNER. UPDATE IT INSTEAD!

Put both the ts4script and package files inside your Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods folder and check a plant where you should see both options.

Ensure that in Gameplay Options' Other area that but Enable Mods and CC is enabled as well as Script mods.

the latest patch of 17th march 2026 seem to have broken the game for me, i tried vanilla and the 50/50 to see if other mods were the problem and even a game repair, but whenever i try to add this mod in the game wont even start and gives me the :failed to start the game, problem. Any idea what else I can do if it isn't mod related?

Is it me?? Ever since Enhanced by Nature (or whatever its called) was released and the base game updated, "fertilize all" does not work. If Carl's mod is active, when I click on a plant, I get 2 instances of "fertilize all" in the menu. One is plain text and the other has a little icon to the left of the text. No matter which I click, my sim will only fertilize one plant. When I take Carl's mod out, I only have one instance of "fertilize all" in the menu, but my sim will still only fertilize one plant. BTW - I do not have the new expansion pack. It probably has something to do with the game play of the new pack but when I search online, I don't see anyone else with this problem...

I have the same issue & I do have the EP Enchanted by Nature. So I'm guessing it's either an EA bug would love to see this resolved I absolutely love this mod.

This isn't working for me on mandrake or valerian root. It also isn't working for me on the vertical planter at all. I've asked about it before, but (as far as I know) no one ever responded....

PrincessShethra · June 15, 2025

I'm kind of assuming a big update to this will be needed once the Nature pack releases. I'll wait to see if the current occult plants get added when the new occult plants show up.

songhaxia · June 11, 2025

Will u update this mod? I can't use "evolve all" if the plant grows in vertical planters, and when I use regular evolve plants, it does not count toward the gardening aspiration.

The mod doesn't work. Even when I create a new save with only this mod. What's going on?

Hi Carl, I've been using this mod for years and love it. Recently I've downloaded a metric butt tonne of custom harvestables (BrazenLotus and IceMunMun) and now have an enormous farm, it takes the entire sim day to harvest and fertilize it all. I'm finding with the added mods, my sim gets stuck between harvesting all of the plants and lags for a few minutes at a time, I have to resetobject (DEBUG) to get them to harvest again and set the game speed to the lowest setting, they will only be able to continue with the harvest all option at the lowest speed, super speed breaks the animation or something it seems. I was wondering if you would be open to potentially adding a couple new options to the mod over time, namely: - Adding an option for fertilize all to act like the evolve all and it automatically use the selected fertilizer for ALL plants with one click? It could be called Super Fertilize or something similar - Add in a similar option again but for harvesting that acts like the Super Sell base game interaction, and picks up every harvestable on the lot with one click and adds it into your inventory? Thanks for all of your dedication and time on the mods you release - no Sims playthrough is complete without your game changing mods!

Ravasheen has a garden tender mod that could temporarily handle the fertilizing part. But I definitely second a harvest all option.

Blaque Widow · September 19, 2024

this mod is a super time/finger saver! that said, I've noticed that this mod sometimes misses a few plants in my garden when evolving. it's usually custom plants that get missed so I'm sure it's because of that, but I was wondering if it's possible to include custom plants with this mod too? it's definitely not a killer to have to manually tend 10 out of 50 plants in my garden, but figured asking wasn't terrible either. either way, thanks for all your hard work on your mods!!!

Carl's Guides · September 19, 2024

I can! what is it you are using/by whom, so I can test with that?

LuciaSims · April 30, 2024

I used this Mod lastly and when I clicked on a plant on "Evolve All" just one plant would evolve. I had to click on every single plant, sometimes I clicked on "Evolve All" and at least 2-3 plants were evolving at the same time, the other I had to manually evolve. With the fertilizer I didn't test it yet, I think I'm just used to fertilize every single plant one by one, it's a habbit, I need to test the "Fertilize All" though. Love this Mod though, and all of your Sims Videos. I'm German btw.

Náthaly Rossine · June 15, 2024

So was I! It's a EA bug and not modder's fault. The only way I could fix it was founding a bugfix named "[OBSOLETE][BUGFIX] Tend Garden Workaround Fix" by thunder1143. I'm not sure if I can drop the link here but it's also on Patreon. Worked like a charm for me since then

Elisa Kerchmar · April 23, 2024

Love this mod! It makes life so much easier- but fertilize all only works for 2 or 3 plants, and i have to recue it!

E
Elisa Kerchmar · April 23, 2024

Hi Carl! I wanted to let you know that I don't think the mod is broken- I didn't have enough of the fertilizer for the garden, so it quits after doing 2-4 fertilizations. It would be nice if it did as much as it could before quitting or warned you that you are short instead of just failing!

ShaeTee · April 13, 2024

Well this mod was working for me a couple of days ago and now it doesnt and I havent added any new mods.

P
PrincessShethra · March 12, 2024

This isn't working for me on mandrake or valerian root. It also isn't working for me on the vertical planter at all. Is this just me? Do you think that it's a conflict with some other mod? I do have the one that is supposed to keep plants mature in all seasons.

Xelphos · March 22, 2024

Can confirm. Doesn't work on these things.

Eragon Sapfira · March 9, 2024

K · March 7, 2024

Thank you so much You made my day I never expected you to have it out so fast. I decided since I have seasons to use the tuner.

C
Carl's Guides · March 7, 2024

NOTE: This will not work if you have Seasons Tuner installed. It breaks both to have them overlapping. Seasons Tuner has this feature already. It is for players who do not have Seasons or do not want the other features of Seasons Tuner.

K · March 6, 2024

wow are you fast thank you so much

Carl's Guides · March 7, 2024

Got the patch out. This will NOT work if you have seasons tuner installed. It has this feature and having both breaks it.

Carl's Guides · March 6, 2024

Thanks. I'm working on it! I got a few more done today and seasons tuner is high on the list now.

EMMA MERRILLS · March 1, 2024

hi is this being updated please or is it still ok to use ?

Carl's Guides · March 6, 2024

I need to update it due to a recent patch but It's high on the list.

Bessy · July 23, 2022

To echo the above commenter, I absolutely LOVE this mod! Its so awesome to see the time spend for my sim to tend to her huge garden cut down. It would be nice if somehow weeds was also taken care of faster. Also I don't know if its this mod or I somehow have another mod that does this, but the sims also harvests from more plants more in one "pick" (one harvest animation on a plant clears like 6 of the surrounding plants at once. Pretty cool)

J
Jodi Williams · July 3, 2022

I absolutely LOVE this mod! Gardening isn't quite as tedious now and I love it! One thing I have noticed, is that the plants from Realm of Magic aren't included in the evolve all or fertilize all commands. Those I still have to do individually. Keep up the good work! And thank you for all your hard work!

C
Charlotte · June 25, 2022

Such a great time saver, thank you so much for putting it together. I did notice that the vertical gardens don't count though and you have to do those manually still. Are you able to add those to this as well please? x

J
Jerry Goh · March 8, 2022

This mod is so good! I'm not trying to be lazy, you wouldn't feel it's lazy when you have 25 planters of plants waiting for you to fertilize. Before you know it, you realize your arm is going cripple...

Carl's Guides · March 8, 2022

You make me happy with this comment thank you Jerry

JungleSim · February 26, 2022

This mod makes these actions not count towards the fertilize and evolve goals of the gardening aspiration

C
Carl's Guides · March 8, 2022

I know I'm really late to respond to this but I know how to fix this and I'm going to I think that it is still a massive timesaver but the bug is still important to fix right

H
Horst · January 19, 2022

Thanks for this Mod :) I noticed that Evolve All doesn't count towards the botanist aspiration step where you have to evolve five plants. You have to use the usual evolve option to make it count. Just wanted to let you know.

C
Carl's Guides · January 19, 2022

Aw, what a shame. I saw it actually work for me, had 5 of them check off at once... wonder what the factor is. Thanks for letting me know and I'm glad you like the mod.

I dont have a mods folder. Do I need to create one?

C
Carl's Guides · December 31, 2021

I think it should be created automatically - are you looking inside Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4? This is where it keeps those files. If not, you might attempt making a new folder called Mods there.

Hey there!!! I’m using an iMac and the menus are empty… The first version works great but now it isn’t… Greetings from Austria, Alexander

C
Carl's Guides · December 28, 2021

Hey Alex. Looks like I made a mistake on Seasons Tuner - this one is not what you want but I assume you were using that. I just updated the Seasons Tuner package file to have the strings for other languages. I've made this mistake a couple times and I'm sorry about that. Go to that post and grab seasons tuner's new files and all should be OK please let me know if not.

Shannon Garrett · December 28, 2021

Thank you for sharing your creations. I am not savvy in the mod area, so, when I download the seasons and fertilizer mods in the folder, do they automatically work? I downloaded the seasons mod but I couldn't get it to work. How do I use this mod?

C
Carl's Guides · December 28, 2021

Hey. First of all only use Seasons Tuner OR this version. Secondly, you should go into options and make sure mods are enabled but also, CRUCIALLY the Script mods option which is right above enable mods and cc. Without it most of the magic is gone and the mods do nothing. Hope this helps!.
