Motive (PlantSim): Difference between revisions

Line 13:
'''Love''' works very much like the [[social]] need does for a regular Sim, and can be raised in the same ways.
 
'''Water''' is similar to [[hunger]] as experienced by non-PlantSims. A PlantSim deprived of water will wilt, and eventually [[Death|die]]. 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 Power 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. Plantsim motives may also glitch - all the visible and invisible motives may be filled, but their moods could still be in the red. That can be fixed by having the plantsim go to another lot.
 
A PlantSim's Love and Water motives are affected by being in the room with a [[Snapdragon Bouquet]].
