Compatibility notes

Not intended to be used with Dismar’s Vegetable Garden or Toby’s Realistic Farming. Using them together may cause issues.

Partially compatible with VGP Core, but expect overlap and inconsistencies. Use at your own risk.

Technically compatible with existing saves, but starting a new game is strongly recommended for best results.
