Gardening: Difference between revisions

 

Sprinklers can be bought in Build mode's Gardening Center. A sprinkler can cover 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or 360 degrees. When the game is in [[Buy mode]] or Build mode, the area a sprinkler covers will be marked by a transparent green dome; if any part of the dome touches a square, plants in that square will be watered. Sprinklers will not overwater plants, but plants can still be overwatered if it rains.

 

<blockquote class="note">Players should note that active sprinklers are graphically intensive, and can cause lagging. A [http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=222748 mod] by Numenor at [[Mod the Sims]] can prevent this by making the water from sprinklers invisible.</blockquote>

 

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.

 

When Sims with higher Talent badges tend plants, the plants don't need to be tended as often.
