True gardening
However, there are a few things that can endanger a crop-growing business. For a start, Sims can purchase plant tonic from Gardener Bob in Old Town. Using it on a plot may make it produce more, or even result in giant vegetables, which bring a high price at market - but there's also is a chance that it will kill the plants instead. Additionally, there are various pests, such as rabbits and gophers, that will try to eat the plants. They can be controlled by buying a [[cat]], which can chase off any small mammals that come into a garden, or by buying a scarecrow (which is in the Sculptures section of the Decorative category in Buy Mode).
Line 15:
==The Sims 2: Seasons==
True gardening was reintroduced into the Sims world with ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]''. In this version, not many aspects of gardening have changed, though there are no longer rabbits and gophers to worry about. The primary difference is that gardening is now a talent that Sims can improve with experience. The higher the [[talent badge]] the gardening Sim has, the easier it is to grow crops.
Planting seeds requires a [[garden plot|gardening plot]] that can be bought for §10 in the [[

Sims will need to spray plants when they become infested with bugs in order to keep them healthy. While the spray will reduce a plant's health, the effects of the spray are less than those of the bugs. Placing a [[Lovely Ladybug Loft|ladybug loft]] within two tiles of the crop reduces the frequency of bug infestation.<ref>https://modthesims.info/t/483276</ref> Sims (excluding [[Servo]]s) that spray plants enough times may become [[PlantSim]]s.
When a plant is ready to be harvested, clicking "Harvest" will put the fruit and vegetables in the Sim's inventory to be stocked in a fridge or juicer. Once a fridge is stocked, food made from that fridge will have sparkles around it (meaning it was made with homegrown fruit and veggies). It gives Sims a [[comfort]] boost as well as filling their [[hunger]] quicker than normal. When Sims eat this food, players will need to watch their hunger bars so they don't overeat and lose fitness. However, if the player doesn't let them overeat and is careful about having them store leftovers, gardening can help Sims' grocery purchases go farther.▼
Sims can grow apples, oranges, and lemons by planting orchard trees, which cost §1200. Orchard trees are bought "as is" from build mode's Gardening Center rather than grown from seeds. They do not require fertilizer or water, but do require occasional tending and can be infested with bugs.
Clicking on "Sell Produce" will automatically sell the produce for [[Simoleon]]s. If ''[[Open for Business]]'' is installed, homegrown fruit and vegetables can be placed on sale.▼

===Greenhouses===
Players can build greenhouses by using special walls, doors, and roofs which are available from build mode's Gardening Center. Greenhouses can protect plants and trees from bugs and weather, and allow garden plants to be grown in Winter. While orchard trees cannot be placed indoors, they can be enclosed in a greenhouse by building the greenhouse around them, although they will still eventually go dormant in the winter.<ref>A [https://modthesims.info/download.php?t=235693 mod] at [[Mod The Sims]] allows orchard trees to continue to remain active during the winter provided that they are located in a greenhouse. Orchard trees not in a greenhouse will still go dormant.</ref>

===Planting/Harvest Seasons===
Plants ''can'' be planted in any season, so long as they will become harvestable before Winter begins. However, each type of plant has an optimum harvest season, and will yield more if harvested in that season.

: plant seeds no later than the 4th day of Spring, by 8pm. They will take 6 days and 3 hours to harvest.
===Harvest Ratings===
Caring for plants and trees affects their health level and affects the "rating" of their produce. When a plant's needs are perfectly met, they will have a health level of "Thriving", which will produce a "Mouthwatering" harvest. The highest rating is Mouthwatering, the middle rating is Tasty, and the lowest rating is Bland. This rating will not only affect how much the produce will sell for, but how many "Fresh Food Points" it will add to a fridge, and how effective
Mouthwatering crops and the amount of fresh food points they add

{{Main|Gardening (The Sims 4)}}
In ''The Sims 4'', Sims can acquire the gardening skill at any time. Players must purchase planter boxes in [[build mode]] before they can purchase and plant seeds. The seeds will then germinate into whatever flowers, herbs, fruits, or vegetables that the Sim bought.
Sims need to water their plants in order to speed up their growth. Sims can hire a professional gardener if they don't feel like doing it themselves. Dry patches are of a light brown color, while watered patches are dark brown.
