Omni plant

The Omni Plant is a special plant in The Sims 3 that can be used to replicate many other plants, as well as other objects -- including some books and fish. The plant can only be planted by Sims that have a gardening skill level of 10. Some special plants, such as death flowers cannot be replicated using the Omni Plant. The Omni Plant cannot die.

The Omni Plant is obtained by completing the Uncommonly Good, Outstandingly Rare, and The Omnificient Plant opportunities. It may also be found at the Landgraab Industries Science Facility, while fishing, or received as a random reward after going into the past in the time machine.

The Omni Plant is excellent for getting rare fruit and fish, because it can be fed with anything from life fruit to robot fish and deathfish. The Omni Plant can also be fed with books or teddy bears.

Once you have received the Omni Plant for the first time after completing the opportunity, you can order more seeds through the mail. Some players have found a glitch where ordering Omni Plant seeds has been impossible.

(There is no confirmed fix for this yet, but a temporary workaround may be utilized as follows: select the order option, allow your sim to begin walking to his/her mailbox, then before your sim ever reaches the mailbox, cancel the action. The bill paying animation will activate, and the option will be greyed out, stating that the seed shipment is on its way. It seems that allowing your sim to reach the mailbox cancels the animation and the operation altogether. This solution works as of v1.24.) [needs confirmation from other testers]
