Gardening: Difference between revisions

True gardening (that is, gardening that doesn't just require watering the plants) was introduced in ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]'', where Sims could grow their own vegetables in their gardens. First of all, a player needs to buy at least one plot in which to plant seeds (it's the '''Insta-Plot Victory Garden''', which can be found in the Plant Tool section of [[Build Mode]] for §65). Then, the player needs to send a Sim to a community lot that has a seed rack, and have that Sim buy seeds. ([[Custer's Market]] in [[Old Town]] is designed as a one-stop gardening center, but other lots will have seed racks.). After buying seeds, the Sim who bought them can plant them. Click on an empty garden plot, and if a Sim has seeds in inventory, the option to plant them will appear. However, that's the easy part; they need watering frequently, and will often need weeding. (At times, a [[dog]] may "water" a plot, but this is not something which can be relied upon.) After a few days, they should be ready for harvesting, after which they can be stored in a [[pantry]] so they can be eaten, or taken to a lot which has the '''Vegano Market Cart''' so they can be sold. (By default, Custer's Market has one.) Green beans and tomatoes will continue to produce as long as garden pests don't get to them, but lettuce and carrots will need to be replanted after harvesting.
