![]() ![]() Bronze Sims can grow strawberries (§12) and cucumbers (§12). Talent badges None Sims can grow tomatoes (§8) and have orchard trees (§1200). While orchard trees cannot be placed indoors, they can be enclosed in a greenhouse by building the greenhouse around them, although they will still eventually go dormant in the winter. Greenhouses can protect plants and trees from bugs and weather, and allow garden plants to be grown in Winter. Players can build greenhouses by using special walls, doors, and roofs which are available from build mode's Gardening Center. Garden Club members get a §2 discount on tomato seeds, a §5 discount on eggplant seeds, and a §3 discount on everything else. Sims can join the Garden club to get a discount on fertilizer and seeds. If The Sims 2: Open for Business is installed, homegrown fruit and vegetables can be placed on sale. However, if the player doesn't let them overeat and is careful about having them store leftovers, gardening can help Sims' grocery purchases go farther.Ĭlicking on "Sell Produce" will automatically sell the produce for Simoleons. When Sims eat this food, players will need to watch their hunger bars so they don't overeat and lose fitness. It gives Sims a comfort boost as well as filling their hunger quicker than normal. Once a fridge is stocked, food made from that fridge will have sparkles around it (meaning it was made with homegrown fruit and vegetables). When a plant is ready to be harvested, clicking "Harvest" will put the fruit and vegetables in the Sim's inventory to be stocked in a fridge or juicer. ![]() They do not require fertilizer or water, but do require occasional tending and can be infested with bugs. Orchard trees are bought "as is" from build mode's Gardening Center rather than grown from seeds. ![]() Sims can grow apples, oranges, and lemons by planting orchard trees, which cost §1200. Sims (excluding Servos) that spray plants enough times may become PlantSims. Placing a ladybug loft within two tiles of the crop reduces the frequency of bug infestation. While the spray will reduce a plant's health, the effects of the spray are less than those of the bugs. Sims will need to spray plants when they become infested with bugs in order to keep them healthy. A mod by Numenor at Mod The Sims can prevent this by making the water from sprinklers invisible. Players should note that active sprinklers are graphically intensive, and can cause lagging. Sprinklers will not overwater plants, but plants can still be overwatered if it rains. When the game is in buy mode or build mode, the area a sprinkler covers will be marked by a transparent green dome if any part of the dome touches a square, plants in that square will be watered. A sprinkler can cover 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or 360 degrees. Sprinklers can be bought in build mode's Gardening Center. Unleashed plants cannot be planted in it. The Sims: Makin' Magic introduces a new plot ( As the Plot Thickens), which allows the growth of grapes and elderberries (which can be purchased from Magic Town). They can be controlled by buying a cat, which can chase off any small mammals that come into a garden, or by buying a scarecrow (which is in the Sculptures section of the Decorative category in Buy Mode). ![]() Additionally, there are various pests, such as rabbits and gophers, that will try to eat the plants. Using it on a plot may make it produce more, or even result in giant vegetables, which bring a high price at market - but there's also is a chance that it will kill the plants instead. For a start, Sims can purchase plant tonic from Gardener Bob in Old Town. However, there are a few things that can endanger a crop-growing business. (By default, Custer's Market has one.) Green beans and tomatoes will continue to produce as long as garden pests don't get to them, but lettuce and carrots will need to be replanted after harvesting. (At times, a dog may "water" a plot, but this is not something which can be relied upon.) After a few days, they should be ready for harvesting, after which they can be stored in a pantry so they can be eaten, or taken to a lot which has the Vegano Market Cart so they can be sold. However, that's the easy part they need watering frequently, and will often need weeding. Click on an empty garden plot, and if a Sim has seeds in inventory, the option to plant them will appear. After buying seeds, the Sim who bought them can plant them. (Custer's Market in Old Town is designed as a one-stop gardening center, but other lots will have seed racks.). Then, the player needs to send a Sim to a community lot that has a seed rack, and have that Sim buy seeds. First of all, a player needs to buy at least one garden plot in which to plant seeds (it's the Insta-Plot Victory Garden, which can be found in the Plant Tool section of Build Mode for §65). True gardening was introduced in The Sims: Unleashed, where Sims could grow their own vegetables in their gardens. ![]()
