PlantSims have shorter lives than normal Sims. They retain the ability to eat, although they have no need to eat and gain no benefits from eating. It should be noted, however, that if PlantSims do eat, it will affect their fitness level, which will eventually make them fat.ĭue to the need of pesticides to transform, it is safe to infer that the overuse of pesticides genetically alter the Sim in question.īecause of the Sunlight need, it can be assumed that PlantSims photosynthesize like any other plant. An unselectable PlantSim visiting a lot may use a toilet and, if at a restaurant, may order and eat a meal. PlantSims, like Servos, can eat and use toilets, even though they do not need to do either. For example, when a PlantSim has been standing for a long period of time and hasn't been doing anything fun, his or her mood may be in deep red despite the three PlantSim motives being nearly full. A PlantSim's mood may be affected by these invisible motives. If FreeTime is installed, a PlantSim's invisible Fun motive will affect how long he or she will read a hobby magazine. For example, if Open for Business is installed, a PlantSim employed in a player-owned business may complain about normal-Sim motives. PlantSims also have invisible normal-Sim motives and if those motives get too low, they may express that in the same way that normal Sims do.

However, while a PlantSim is bathing to replenish the Water motive, being under a greenhouse light will not affect the Sunlight motive. A PlantSim can replenish both Water and Sunlight simultaneously by being out in the rain during the daytime. A PlantSim's Love and Water motives are affected by being in the room with a Snapdragon Bouquet, but this does not affect the Sunlight motive. It is best to always keep the PlantSim in some form of light, as the Sunlight need deteriorates faster than the other needs and cannot be replenished with the 'MaxMotives' cheat (But can be with 'testingCheats'). This motive will not deplete when the PlantSim is frightened. Sunlight - Can be satisfied by being in the sun or under a special greenhouse light.Toddler PlantSims can also satisfy their water need by drinking from a bottle or eating flowers. Water - Can be satisfied by swimming, drinking water, showering, bathing, splashing in puddles, being in the rain, etc.Love - Can be satisfied like the social need or by talking to plants.PlantSims have only three needs, the same 'needs' as all plants: The family album of the Greenman family implies that Gabe O'Mackey and Jason Greenman went on a hiking trip and discovered this society in the mountains near Riverblossom Hills, where Rose Greenman was discovered. However, it would also appear that there is a natural society of PlantSims living somewhere in the wild. Since synthetic pesticides are a relatively recent development, it would seem that PlantSims came into existence recently. A PlantSim who is restored to normal Sim-hood will retain the badge and therefore the ability to talk to plants. When a Sim becomes a PlantSim, they gain the ability to talk to plants (which boosts the plants' health dramatically) and automatically receive a gold Gardening badge. A witch may also be able to help, or the Sim can call the Gypsy Matchmaker and buy the cure. If a Sim becomes a PlantSim accidentally, contacting a member of the Garden Club may help to restore them to normal. Becoming a PlantSim takes time, but more trees and crops on a residential lot can help, as it is the amount of pesticide a Sim uses over time that can trigger the transformation (in a single lot playtime, the effect does not stack when save and exiting). PlantSims are created by overuse of pesticides on crops or fruit trees.
