Gardener: Difference between revisions

In ''The Sims 2'', the gardener will come three times a week, and charges 5 simoleons per visit plus 10 simoleons per hour. The gardener may not charge if no plants need tending, but will quit if there are no plants to tend. He or she will check on [[Money Tree]]s, but otherwise will only care for outdoor plants, as it appears that ordinary indoor plants in ''The Sims 2'' don't need to be watered or tended. However, tending outdoor plants in ''The Sims 2'' involves more than watering flowers. If bushes or hedges are present, they will occasionally need to be trimmed, and weeds will need to be pulled. The gardener will do these things, but will not dispose of dead plants.

If ''[[Seasons]]'' is installed, the gardener will rake leaves and dispose of them, but will not dispose of dead plants. If a compost bin is present, and has empty space, he or she will place raked leaves in the bin. If there is no compost bin or the bin is full, the gardenerleaves will be treated as regular garbage, and may disposebe ofdisposed leavesof in a trash compactor or indoor garbage can, ratherif thanthey useare considered to be closer than the outside garbage can. The gardener will also care for orchard trees and [[Gardening#The Sims 2|garden]] plants, should they need it while he or she is there. A gardener will usually, but not always, have a Bronze [[talent badge]] in gardening.
