Life fruit

Life fruit is a special kind of fruit in The Sims 3.

It resembles a yellow-colored pear with a halo. The life fruit also glows gently, and can be used as a natural light source on lots. It takes a long time to produce but, as with the other special seeds, is very rewarding. It requires gardening level 7 to plant.

Sims can receive the seed by searching the town, as a science career reward, by exploring the catacombs in a mausoleum, fishing it out of a body of water. The life fruit cannot be bought in the supermarket, but may be fed to an Omni Plant. Sims can sell life fruit (§20), alongside the usual uses of fruits such as eating, planting, and cooking them. It is the best fertilizer. They can be eaten raw to restore one day of lifespan. Meals made with life fruit, such as life fruit pancakes, do not have the same rejuvenating effect.

Players can also get life fruit by activating the testingcheatsenabled true cheat and typing buydebug in the cheat box (ctrl + c) in buy mode. Under 'Plant Spawners' there's life fruit!

It is a main ingredient in the dish ambrosia, (requires mastery of the cooking skill) and a deathfish (requires fishing skill 7), but also has better effects that include resetting the Sim's age completely (i.e. If the Sim has lived a week and has another week before aging up. Eating the Ambrosia sets "Days before aging up" to "2 weeks") or completely reviving a ghost Sim. If a Sim with the Nectar Making skill makes a nectar bottle with more than 50% life fruit, then the nectar will also provide an extra day of lifespan.

Also, making a SimBot requires 10 life fruits.
