In ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'', [[PlantSim]]sPlantSims have only three [[motive]]smotives, they require the same needs as all plants.

'''Water''' is similar to [[hunger]] as experienced by non-PlantSims. A PlantSim deprived of water will wilt, and eventually [[Death|die]]faint. The water need also has elements of [[hygiene]] as experienced by non-PlantSims. Sims will react to a PlantSim toddler with low water as they do to a normal Sim toddler with low hygiene. If ''[[FreeTime]]'' is installed, [[Bug collecting#Bug Hunting|hunting bugs]] will affect a PlantSim's water need as it does a normal Sim's hygiene. To raise a PlantSim's water need, have them drink water from a sink, take a bath or shower, or do anything else that involves having contact with water. This includes having babies vomit on them. Drinking [[juice]] will also satisfy a PlantSim's water need.

The '''sunlight''' need is similar to the [[energy]] need of non-PlantSims, in that energy depletion affects PlantSims much as energy depletion affects non-PlantSims. However, maintaining or raising the sunlight need can be done by exposing the PlantSim to sunlight, either by taking them outside, putting them near a window, or putting them in a room with a greenhouse roof. At night, the '''Toasty Garden Lamp sans Toast''' can be used to restore the motive. The sunlight need is also somewhat similar to the Powerpower need of [[Servo#The Sims 2|Servos]], though PlantSims do not have to become inactive to replenish it. The "maxmotives" cheat does not replenish this motive.

PlantSims have invisible motives as well: comfort and fun. If these motives are depleted, the PlantSim's mood could be in the red even when sunlight, water and love are completely full. A PlantSim's motives may also glitch — all the visible and invisible motives may be filled, but their moods could still be in the red.{{Fact}} This can be fixed by having the PlantSim go to another lot.

A PlantSim's Lovelove and Waterwater motives are affected by being in the room with a [[Snapdragon Bouquet]].

In ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'', the [[Hungerhunger]] orand [[Bladderbladder]] motives are covered by leaves, as PlantSims do not have these motives. The game claims that PlantSims "absorb nutrients ambiently" in the tooltip for the hunger motive, and that they "utilize fluids in a far more efficient manner than normal Sims" in the PlantSim lesson, explaining their absence. The [[Hygienehygiene]] motive is replaced by a '''Water''' motive, which can be filled by having the PlantSim come into contact with water (such as by swimming, using a hot tub, or taking a shower). PlantSims receive a "Dehydrated" [[List of Moodlets/Life status#PlantSims(The Sims 3)|Dehydratedmoodlet]] Moodlet if this needsneed is low and a [[List of Moodlets/Life status#PlantSims|"Hydrated]]" moodlet if it is high.
