How To Plant Seeds In Sims 4

• How To Plant Seeds In Planter Box Sims 4

Starting Gardening & Skill Level UnlocksThe Four basic skills of Gardening are Plant, Water, Weed, and Harvest. All these are self-explanatory, but necessary to help your plants to grow. These are the skills you get at the beginning, and starting is a simple matter of buying seeds or harvesting plants from the wild. You may also read Gardening to raise your level. As you gain levels in Gardening, you'll unlock new abilities:. Level 2 - Research Gardening at Computer (Web Research Gardening). Do this to get Focused, which will help you gain more Gardening Experience.

Level 3 - Your Gardener may now Fertilize Plants. This will help them to Evolve faster.

Click on the envelope in the inventory-open seed packet then the plant should be in the inventory drag the plant to the ground then click on the plant option-plant.

Level 4 - Talk to Plants. This will allow you to talk to Plants to fill your Sim's, while also granting Gardening Skill experience!. Level 5 - Take Cutting and Graft abilities unlock, which allow you to get otherwise unattainable plants. Level 6 - Other Sims may Compliment your Garden. Level 7 - Sim has a Green Thumb, which evidently means they get the Tend Garden ability, allowing them to Water and Weed the Garden by clicking a single plant.

This is a big bonus, as tending many plants and finding what ones need watered/weeded can be a chore. You still need to choose when to harvest and fertilize, however. Level 8 - Get the ability to spend $50 to re-grow a Bonsai Tree in order to re-shape it. Level 9 - More efficient gardening interactions - Sims water plants and weed faster. Level 10 - Nothing of note happens, aside from the ability to buy Farmer's Seed Packets from the Computer/Gardening Pot that contain a mixture of seed types.

It's very random, but you may get plants for your collection that you don't yet have. Buying a number of them is wise. Buying SeedsThe only way I found to Buy Seeds is by either purchasing them on the Computer (under the Order Menu) or by clicking on Gardening Pots. These are found in Build Mode, Objects by Function Hobbies & Skills Miscellaneous.

Garden Pots cost $50 while holding only one plant, while Garden Planter Boxes cost $200 and hold either 4 plants or one tree. These aren't necessary for your budding Gardener, as you are able to drag plants to the ground to plant them on your lot. However, both forms of these planters will let you grow plants indoors. PlantingDrag fruits/vegetables/herbs/flowers from your inventory to the ground or a gardening pot/planter box. Lay it out the way you want, as many plants as you want, then select one and choose Plant.

Your Sim will go about planting all of the seeds, which you can then water and gain loads of experience doing so. Later, they'll grow weeds so look out for that by clicking plants here and there. Find one with weeds and the Sim will take care of all Weeds, same with Watering. Keep taking care of your garden and plants will eventually be able to evolve to a higher quality level.

Eating ProduceRaw produce may be eaten directly from your Sim's inventory as of the Patch that came with Outdoor Retreat. That's great for all players, regardless of whether they own the game pack. Eating Perfect plants may give your Sim a +3 Happy moodlet for 4h, so it's very much worth keeping some plants on you for a quick bite to eat and a pick me up in terms of mood. This can help your Sim to become Very Focused for their Gardening, further boosting Skill gains, even when you eat a 'Very Nice' or other medium-quality Plant. Taking Care of your Garden: Tending Garden and Harvest YieldsThere is no magical set time of day for plants to grow, need watering, or weeding. These appear throughout the day. Don't fret, however, as it doesn't mean you need to tend your garden constantly.

A plant will only grow unhappy if it is neglected for a time. It's safe to come back and deal with your garden once a day, so that all the plants need water/weeding. Plants will gradually grow up to their maximum of 10 harvestables. Waiting is good as plants will provide more harvestables the longer you wait and harvesting immediately will yield fewer fruit, while resetting the timer, causing it to take longer for them to produce fruit again. Keep an eye on fertilizing, however, and try to keep that effect active on your favorite plants, so they can evolve quickly. Take Cutting Ability (Gardening Level 5)Plants must have grown a bit to use this ability.

Using it two times in a row can kill a plant, resulting in a fee to revive it, else you dispose of the dead plant. Cuttings are used with the Graft ability, which is unlocked once you have some Plant Cuttings in your inventory.

These all go into one stack. If you try to Take Cutting from a plant that has many others grafted on it, the original is the cutting you will get (the first on the list is the original plant type). Graft Ability - Combine Plants (Level 5)See the table below for special grafting combos to unlock plants you haven't yet found. This will start a plant over at its same level of quality, but adding the ability to also grow the plant whose cutting you grafted onto it. You can use this option a number of times on a single plant to make it give you a mixture of produce. The plant must grow a bit again before the Graft option will reappear. This is a good ability that allows you to minimize the work your Sim needs to maintain your garden, allowing you to eliminate some plants if you like.

If you're going for maximum profit, you'd likely be better off having high-price plants that are NOT grafted in your garden, while grafting plants to condense the size of your garden and simultaneously cut back on the amount of fertilizing and garden tending you need to do. The Grafting option is very good for busy Sims that like to cook meals with good ingredients. However, remember that you get only 8-10 harvestables out of a plant and grafting too many to one plant will result in a mixture - 1 of a few of them, 2 of another, and maybe 0 of another kind on a particular harvest. It's totally random and doesn't really increase your yields. Best use of grafting is to do 2-3 type of plants, maximum, so you're sure to pick up a few of each when you harvest.

Also note that harvesting right away will yield you few fruit, while waiting to harvest a grafted plant several hours after it first shows fruit (like normal plants) will give it time to make a larger variety of produce, and thus a better yield. Wild Plants & GrowthIn order to find Uncommon and Rare plants that do not come from seed packets and neighborhood gardens, you must look for plants in the Wild. Below, I've listed where I found plants but we have a much more thorough.

Plants are not always harvestable, as they are not ready. Know that plants only grow in the neighborhood your active Sim is visiting. So if you want one to grow in another area, you need to hang out there a while. Plants grow fairly fast, so find a way to spend some time in that area while you wait for them to grow - make some friends, collect, and fish for fertilizer. Sometimes they aren't even ready for you to Take Cutting. The trick is to stay in the area long enough for them to grow a tad (Plants grow fast in TS4) so you can take a cutting, then graft it onto one of your own plants. Your Plant will then produce that type of fruit/vegetable and allow you to plant one once that type has been harvested.

I have never seen seeds on the ground in this game - it's all about finding plants in the wild and combining with existing plants to get the fruit you need to put in the ground to make your own. You will sometimes find wild plants harvestable, it's just not as efficient to collect them that way given they will usually start at normal quality and you'd be better off skipping all that evolving. Making Perfect Plants FasterKeep the plants you start with, and gradually evolve them by taking care of them and clicking Evolve each time it comes available.

It's easier to see sparkles on game speed 2/3. When you later find a rare plant in the wild and take a sample, then graft it to your high-quality plant, you'll get a high-quality result and be able to plant it. This will let you skip leveling a plant at normal quality (assuming you harvest it in the wild) and is the fastest way to get a Perfect Blackberry bush or Dragonfruit.Reference.

Starting April 13th until May 4th, you get to collect special magic beans, grow a tree and become a PlantSim in The Sims 4!This will pop up the first time you open your game to the latest version:The first thing you’ll notice when loading your household is the seasonal challenge user interface in the top left corner:NOTE: If you’re not really interested in this challenge you can disable this part of the interface by going to Menu Game Options Gameplay and selecting the Hide Challenge UI option.Just like with every challenge, this one involves Jasmine Holiday. However, unlike with other challenges, you don’t depend on her unless you forget all the rules to this rather simple challenge. You can give her a call and ask more information about the PlantSim Challenge:The rule to this challenge is to collect all 6 magic beans that you find from townies around neighborhoods. The magic bean you receive from a townie will depend on their current emotional state.In case the PlantSim you ask for a magic bean doesn’t fit the angry, playful, sad, uncomfortable, flirty or confident emotion, the PlantSim won’t have any magic beans to offer.

You can fix that by talking to them and getting them into one of these emotional states.Once you get your first magic bean you’ll also get the magic PlantSim stump!As you collect magic beans you can just drag them onto the stump. Here are all the magic beans that you can collect:After you’ve collected all the magic beans and placed them on the stump, you’ll get an option to water it.

After performing this interaction the stump will turn into a huge magical tree within seconds! As a PlantSim you get to take care of 2 special Needs: Water and Hunger (which is basically photosynthesis).While staying in the sunlight, the water need will decay much faster. PlantSims who keep both needs satisfied will be happy and energized.Being a PlantSim is only a temporary thing. Plantsimism will affect your Sim as long as the following buff is present – which is for 5 days. After your Sim turns back to normal you can explore the mystical portal tree again and claim the forbidden PlantSim fruit. It’s a free update. It didn’t come with an expansion pack (like in Sims 2 and Sims 3), nor is it the subject of a game pack (like vampires).

It’s a FREE update. It’s not going to be super fleshed out, just some basic fun. Like the Easter Egg hunts, the Week of WooHoo for Valentine’s Day a few years ago, etc. Honestly, I’m impressed that the Earth Day (I’m assuming) challenge comes with a LIFE STATE, how cool is that?! They’re probably just testing the water, and will see how people like it before making plantsims permanent. This group has been extremely generous with that sort of thing in this game.
