{{Era|TS3SN}}
The '''Arboretum''' is a rabbit hole and a community lot featured in ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]''. This place held for a gardening competition, which it's open for every 6 hours. Sims can also search for other fairies and fairies can do fairy activities. And Sims can [[WooHoo]] if they have a romantic relationship of a Sim in the same lot and adds a chance of contraception of 50% for each of Sim who has the "Magic in the Air" moodlet, from talking a baby's breath.
 
If a player wants to enter the competition, Sim must have a plant. It takes a short time. And when the competition is finish, depending of the quality of the plant, a notice message will appear, depending if the plant is 1st-10th place and receive [[simoleons]].
 
When looking inside the Arboretum, only flowers and plant decorations can be seen.

Like in the [[Vault of Antiquity]], Sims can enter a gardening contestcompetition inside the Arboretumarboretum. They require at least one harvestable in their [[inventory]]. The contest begins atbetween 12 PM to 3 PM, and lasts untilfor the contest3 endshours. Virtually, up to 12 contestants compete in the contest. Multiple Sims in the active household can enter the contest together. Fake contestants will be generated by the game only to fill the empty slots to simulate competition rankings.
 
Upon entering the competition, the game will find the best quality random harvestable and remove it from the Sim's inventory. The quality of the fruit determines the competition score, but not the type of the harvestable. It means that a perfect apple will have a greater score than an outstanding [[life fruit]]. Aside from the harvestable quality, the number of [[Gardening (The Sims 3)|gardening]] skill points (or child gardening for children) also determines the competition score. Sims will be disqualified if they leave the arboretum while the competition is still in progress.
The contest score is determined by the quality of the plants and its rarity. The higher quality and higher rarity of a plant, the higher the chance of winning. Sims will be awarded money if they earn the 1st to 8th place.

Below is how the score is determined:
#Base score is 1 for horrifying and 11 for perfect quality harvestable.
#Score is multiplied by x1.075 for an adult, or x1.125 for a child.
#Bonus score is added by +1.125 per each gardening skill point for an adult, or +1.05 per each child gardening skill point for a child.<ref>Bonus score of +1.175 is added per each gardening skill point for a child, but it's impossible for a child to learn this skill in an unmodded gameplay.</ref>
#The final score is multiplied by a random number between x0.75 and x1.5
 
Sims will be awarded [[Simoleon|money]] if they earn the 1st to 8th place. Additionally, the 1st-place winner will be rewarded a gardening competition trophy in their [[inventory]].
 
==Fairy-related interactions==
===Search for fairies===
Sims can search for fairies by entering the arboretum. While inside, the player will be prompted a series of [[chance card]] dialogs, consisting of two options. None of these options matter, nor do any elements factor in the outcome. The chance cards are only flavor texts, while the outcomes are purely random. The possible outcomes are as below, followed by their weighted chance.
*A +50 relationship boost with a non-household random fairy (35)
*Two random seeds of any rarity (50)
*Three random common seeds (50)
*A jar of fairy dust (60)
 
Upon exiting the rabbit hole, there is a 4% chance Sims may receive a special [[opportunity]], ''[[Opportunity/Occult#Becoming a Fairy|Becoming a Fairy]]''. They may receive it as long as the Sim is not a [[ghost]], [[plumbot]], or [[fairy]].
 
===Play fairy games===
Children, Sims with [[Childish (The Sims 3)|childish]] trait, and fairies may enter the arboretum to play fairy games. They will spend half an hour inside and get the "Played Fairy Games" moodlet.
 
===Talk to baby's breath===
Sims who are neither [[Mummy|mummies]] nor [[SimBot]]s can talk to baby's breath inside the arboretum. They will spend an hour inside and get the "Magic in the Air" moodlet. This moodlet increases the chance of conception and random occult mutation of a baby by +50%.

==Trivia==
* Both "Fae Ray Gardens" and "Fae Ray Arboretum" are references to the actress [[Wikipedia:Fay Wray{{Wiki|Fay Wray]]}}.
* Various plant decorations can be seen inside the Moonlight Falls arboretum by zooming in the camera. These plant decorations are not part of the rabbit hole, but rather [[Buy mode]] plants placed using the [[Moveobjects]] cheat.
