Line 27:
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 ladybug loft within two tiles of the crop reduces the frequency of bug infestation.<ref>http://modthesims.info/t/483276</ref> Sims (excluding [[Servo]]s) that spray plants enough times may become [[PlantSim]]s.
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.
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.
Line 32 ⟶ 33:
Sims can join the [[Garden Club]] to get a discount on fertilizer and seeds. Garden Club members get a §2 discount on tomato seeds, a §5 discount on eggplant seeds, and a §3 discount on everything else.
===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. It appears that a greenhouse may not prevent an orchard tree from eventually going dormant in Winter.
