{{Era|TS3SN}}[[File:W arboretum.png|left]]The '''Arboretumarboretum''' is a [[rabbit hole]] featured in ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]''. [[Sim]]s can tour the arboretum and [[WooHoo]] inside this rabbit hole. The only pre-placed arboretum in the game is located at Fae Ray Garden in [[Moonlight Falls]]. Inside the arboretum, Sims can also enter gardening competition, search for fairies, play fairy games, and talk to baby's breath.
 
==Gardening competition==

Sims can enter a gardening competition inside the arboretum. They require at least one harvestable in their [[inventory]]. The contest begins atbetween 12 PM to 3 PM, and lasts for 3 hours. 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 [[Lifelife Fruitfruit]]. Aside from the harvestable quality, the number of [[Gardening (The Sims 3)|Gardeninggardening]] skill points (or Childchild Gardeninggardening for children) also determines the competition score. Sims will be disqualified if they leave the arboretum while the competition is still in progress.
 
Below is how the score is determined:
The exact competition score calculation is as following. First, the quality is multiplied by the quality multiplier. Then it's added to the total of Gardening skill point multiplied by skill point multiplier. If the contestant is a child, the Gardening skill point is randomized between 0 and 10, and in addition, they will also get a Child Gardening skill point bonus added to the score total. Finally, the score total is multiplied by a random number between 0.75 and 1.5, which is then used to determine the contestant's score. The multipliers for children are generally higher than adults, so children have higher advantage in winning the competition.
#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 Gardeninggardening Competitioncompetition Trophytrophy 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.
Searching for fairies may trigger a special [[opportunity]] for Sims to become a [[fairy]]. There is only 4% chance that this opportunity will be triggered after they enter the arboretum.
*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===
Line 55 ⟶ 65:
 
==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.
