Chinese garden

The Chinese Garden (or Zen garden) is a new community lot type for The Sims 3 introduced via The Sims 3: World Adventures expansion pack.



Sims who visit a lot set as a Chinese Garden will always get the Zen moodlet. While Sims have this moodlet they gain a boost to their Logic skill building, and they also gain a boost to the mediation skill which falls within the Martial Arts skill. By default the Chinese Garden lot is only accessible in the travel destination Shang Simla, however it can be set using the Create a World tool and it will function correctly in the base game, The Sims 3.

The Scholar's Garden

There a several varieties of koi to catch here using the Fishing skill, and also plums and cherries for Sims to harvest.
