Game guide:Gardener's mood guide

This is a guide for Gardening Sims to increase their mood and get lots of lifetime happiness points fast!

Required Traits

 * Lucky
 * Gives Sims the "Feeling Lucky" moodlet every day when they have 4 or more hours of sleep. This will give a +5 mood boost, and also gives the Sim luck in everything they do. It lasts 23 hours; practically a mood boost for the entire day.
 * Green Thumb
 * Allows Sims to revive dead plants, extremely useful for gardeners.
 * Allows Sims to talk to plants, increasing their social need and increasing the plant's qualities.
 * The Sim gets a Gardening skill book in their inventory when you start the game.
 * All of the Sim's garden produce is high quality.
 * The Sim will learn the Gardening skill faster.
 * Loves The Outdoors
 * Gives a +15 mood boost when outside for 15 minutes, which should be often as the Sim gardens outside.
 * The Gardening and Fishing Skills are increased.
 * Over-Emotional
 * Gives 25% extra mood to all of the Sim's positive and negative moodlets.

Extra Traits

 * Eco-Friendly
 * This trait is only available if The Sims 3: Ambitions is installed.
 * Sims shower 2.25 times (in a regular shower), or 1.5 times (in an all-in-one bathroom) faster and receive the "Saving Water" moodlet
 * Sims receive the "Replenishing the Earth" moodlet while gardening

Required Items

 * One expensive shower, because cheap showers can cause a negative "Cold Shower" moodlet, and expensive ones have a chance of giving the Sim the positive "Exhilarating Shower" moodlet.
 * One expensive bed, as cheap beds might cause the "Bad Night's Sleep" moodlet, and all other beds give the Sim the positive "Well Rested" moodlet.
 * One sprinkler, to water the plants just before and after growth, upgraded with the "Auto-Water" upgrade.
 * If possible, a Flame Fruit.

Routine

 * 1) Wake up at 4 am. The Sim should have the "Feeling Lucky" moodlet, and the "Well Rested" moodlet.
 * 2) Quickly take an EXPENSIVE shower and brush the Sim's teeth. The Sim should have the "Squeaky Clean" and "Minty Breath" moodlets, and possibly the "Exhilarating Shower" moodlet. With the Eco-Friendly trait, Sims will have the "Saving Water" moodlet.
 * 3) Go Gardening. While the Sim gardens, they should receive the "One With Nature" moodlet, and "Replenishing the Earth" with the Eco-Friendly trait.
 * 4) Have a Flame Fruit in the Sim's inventory, if possible, for the "Cozy Fire" moodlet.
 * 5) As the Sim gardens, their amazing mood will give them Lifetime Happiness Points, every ~3-5 secs. Their Over-Emotional trait will increase their mood by 25%.
