Motive (PlantSim)

PlantSims have only three motives, they require the same needs as all plants.

Love works very much like the Social need does for a regular Sim and can be raised in the same ways.

The water and sunlight needs are very similar to hunger experienced by non-PlantSims, with the exception of how the motives are raised.

To raise water, have them drink water from a sink, take a bath or shower, or do anything else that involves a PlantSim having contact with water. This includes having babies vomit on them.

If a PlantSim is not exposed to sunlight their sunlight need goes down. Players can raise the need by either exposing the PlantSim to sunlight by taking them outside or by putting them near a window. If it is night time a Sun Lamp can be used to restore the motive. It's similar to the need of energy of the Servos.
