PlantSim

PlantSims are released with The Sims 2: Seasons, they are created by overuse of pesticides on plants or fruit trees. To become a PlantSim takes time, but more trees in the residence help. If your Sim becomes a PlantSim accidentally, contacting a member of the Garden Club may help to restore them back to normal.

Needs
PlantSims have only three needs.
 * Love - Can be satisfied like social or by talking to plants.
 * Water - Can be satisfied by swimming, drinking water, showering, bathing, splashing in puddles, being in the rain, etc.) Toddler PlantSims can satisfy their water need by eating flowers.  A little canabalistic, if you think about it.
 * Sunlight - Can be satisfied by being in the sun or under a special greenhouse light.

As you can see, they require the same needs as all plants. When a Sim becomes a PlantSim, they can talk to plants (which boosts the plants' health dramatically) and they automatically receive a Golden Gardening Badge

Biology
Due to the need of pesticides to transform, it is safe to inference that the overuse of pesticides genetically alter the sim in question.

Because of the Sunlight need, It can be assumed that PlantSims photosynthesize like any other plant.

Life Stages:

PlantSims have only three stages of life:
 * Toddler
 * Adult
 * Elder

Reproduction:

When a PlantSim wants to have a child, the user need only click on the Sim and select 'Produce Plantbaby' and a PlantSim toddler will appear before them. They produce asexually so they only have one parent unless they have a regular baby with WooHoo.

The new PlantSim will have the same skills and talent badges as the parent. This is useful, because they don't have the Teen year to build the skills. They will also have identical personality points, but a different star sign.

PlantSims may reproduce sexually if desired. In that case, they must WooHoo, and the female PlantSim will get pregnant. Male PlantSims may father other Sim's children and alien children. The naturally produced baby will be a Human, even if both parents are PlantSims.

Appearance
All PlantSims have a default hairstyle and clothing, so they all look very much alike aside from their facial features, but they may change their clothes and outfit if wanted. Children PlantSims will look like their father, the Ideal plantsim, a hidden NPC.
