The '''PlantSim''' is a [[life state]] included with ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'',<ref>[http://simsvip.com/2013/02/13/plantsims-confirmed-creature-for-university/ PlantSims confirmed] (SimsVIP)</ref> ''[[The Sims 4: Cool Kitchen Stuff]]'', and [[The Sims 4/Patch 49|patch 49]] of ''[[The Sims 4]]''.

[[File:Makin' Magic PlantSim.png|thumb|220x220px|A PlantSim looking Sim in ''The Sims: Makin' Magic''.]]
In ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'', a PlantSim look is one of the options when a magical adult Sim successfully uses the "Beauty or Beast" [[Spells (The Sims: Makin' Magic)|charm]]. The PlantSim look is available for both genders. As with all changes made with "Beauty or Beast", it is simply cosmetic, and has no effect on the Sim's interactions with other Sims.

[[File:Rose Greenman Jason Greenman.jpg|thumb|200px|A society of PlantSims]]
[[File:PlantSim.png|left]]PlantSims are created by overuse of pesticides on crops or fruit trees. Becoming a PlantSim takes time, but more trees and crops on a residential lot can help, as it is the amount of pesticide a Sim uses over time that can trigger the transformation (in a single lot playtime, the effect does not stack when save and exiting). If a Sim becomes a PlantSim accidentally, contacting a member of the Garden Club ''may'' help to restore them to normal. A [[witch]] may also be able to [[potions|help]], or the Sim can call the [[Gypsy Matchmaker]] and buy the cure.
When a Sim becomes a PlantSim, they gain the ability to talk to plants (which boosts the plants' health dramatically) and automatically receive a gold [[Gardening#Talent badges|Gardening]] badge. A PlantSim who is restored to normal Sim-hood will retain the badge and therefore the ability to talk to plants.
Line 21 ⟶ 29:
===History===
Since synthetic pesticides are a relatively recent development, it would seem that PlantSims came into existence recently. However, it would also appear that there is a natural society of PlantSims living somewhere in the wild. The family album of the [[Greenman family]] implies that [[Gabe O'Mackey]] and [[Jason Greenman]] went on a hiking trip and discovered this society in the mountains near [[Riverblossom Hills]], where [[Rose Greenman]] was discovered.
===Needs===
Line 30 ⟶ 37:
* '''Sunlight''' - Can be satisfied by being in the sun or under a special greenhouse light. {{confirm|This motive will not deplete when the PlantSim is [[fright]]ened.}}
It is best to always keep the PlantSim in some form of light, as the Sunlight need deteriorates faster than the other needs and cannot be replenished with the [[The Sims 2/cheats#Gameplay Cheats|"MaxMotives" cheat]] (But can be with [[The Sims 2/cheats#Advanced cheats|"testingCheats"]]). A PlantSim's Love and Water motives are affected by being in the room with a [[Snapdragon Bouquet]], but this does not affect the Sunlight motive. A PlantSim can replenish both Water and Sunlight simultaneously by being out in the rain during the daytime. However, while a PlantSim is bathing to replenish the Water motive, being under a greenhouse light will not affect the Sunlight motive.
PlantSims also have invisible normal-Sim motives and if those motives get too low, they may express that in the same way that normal Sims do. For example, if ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business|Open
PlantSims, like [[Servo#The Sims 2|Servos]], ''can'' eat and use toilets, even though they do not need to do either. An unselectable PlantSim visiting a lot may use a toilet and, if at a [[Restaurant#The Sims 2|restaurant]], may order and eat a meal. It should be noted, however, that if PlantSims do eat, it will affect their [[Fitness (attribute)|fitness]] level, which will eventually make them fat.

====Creation====
Line 46 ⟶ 53:
PlantSims have shorter lives than normal Sims. Their only [[life stage]]s are [[toddler]], [[adult]], and [[elder]], so PlantSims who enter life as toddlers will never attend [[school]] and cannot go to [[College (sub-neighborhood)|college]].<ref group="n">PlantSim toddlers will not get the memory of missing out on college when they become adults.</ref> However, this is balanced by PlantSims passing on their skills and talents when they reproduce asexually; PlantSim toddlers may have a shorter overall lifespan than Sim toddlers, but they get a head start. Note that being transformed into a PlantSim does not affect a Sim's lifespan; adult and elder Sims who are transformed into PlantSims will live out whichever stage they are in.<ref>In ''The Sims 2: Seasons'', teens and young adults cannot become PlantSims.</ref> Like normal Sims, PlantSims can use the [[Elixir of Life]] to extend their lives.
PlantSims do not have any hair on their heads, and on initial transformation, any that was there before
With each clone, the appearance of descendants steadily changes to that resembling an elf, which in the Sims universe may place PlantSims as the explanation for the myth. As seen with the [[Greenman family]] in their photo album pictures, an entire society of PlantSims seems to exist in the wild, further supporting the theory that they fill the role of mythological elves or pixies.<ref group="n">On close examination, it may be noted that the PlantSims shown in the pictures have "normal" ears and facial features, just like any normal Sim that was transformed by overusing pesticides. It can be assumed that they were created for the purpose of making the pictures and not run through several generations.</ref>

: However, it has been noted<ref>http://cyjon.net/node/68</ref> that the number of times Sims on a lot have sprayed is not saved when exiting the lot and will therefore be reset to zero when the player loads the lot or when a resident Sim returns from a community lot. While it is not specifically mentioned, it seems likely that this will also affect Sims who are moved into the [[family bin]].

===Notes===
<references group="n" />The want tree relating to PlantSims is different from that of other occult life states, such as vampires, werewolves and witches. One difference is that non-Knowledge Sims will roll the want to cure a Sim who has recently become a PlantSim even if they barely know that Sim. In addition, non-Knowledge PlantSims will fear others becoming PlantSims, especially during dates (if ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]]'' is installed). If ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime|FreeTime]]'' is installed, a Sim with Knowledge as his or her [[secondary aspiration]] will often roll wants to become an occult (for example, wanting to become a werewolf after the "see wolf" want is fulfilled). However, if the PlantSim want tree is triggered on that same Sim, he or she will fear becoming a PlantSim, without having the corresponding want, but will generally not roll the want for the other Sim to be cured.
==The Sims 3: University Life==
[[File:PlantsimTS3.png|thumb|A PlantSim screenshot taken during The Sims 3 Community Day.]]
[[File:Trait PlantSim small.png]] PlantSims were confirmed to return in ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'' via a Tweet on February 13, 2013.<ref>[https://twitter.com/TheSims3/status/301768921579671552 @TheSims3 confirms the existence of PlantSims in University Life]</ref>
===Appearance===
The appearance of PlantSims is different from those in ''The Sims 2: Seasons''.
===Biology===
Line 108 ⟶ 114:
PlantSims cannot get pregnant. They can produce a Forbidden Fruit seed, plant it, grow it, and pick the fully grown fruit. Picking a fully grown Forbidden Fruit has a 50% chance of producing a PlantSim baby.<ref name="simsvipguide" />
If a PlantSim uses their Poison Kiss ability, it gives their target the Poisoned moodlet for 3 hours. When it runs out,
If you have a Sim get pregnant, but then the father turns into a Plantsim afterwards, there is a chance the baby would be a PlantSim.
===Motives===
PlantSims do not have a [[Hunger]] or [[Bladder]] motive;
Players should note that PlantSims' Water motive still works similarly to Hygiene, as any physical activity/training will drain this need considerably and quickly. Because of this, the "Dirt Defiant" lifetime reward is much the same for a PlantSim as "Hardly Hungry" is for a normal Sim.
===Abilities===
PlantSims are able to communicate with plants, including offending them by telling them that their mother was an acorn. They are also better gardeners than other Sims. PlantSims can send flower kisses to other Sims and can also poison them with poison kisses. PlantSims are also able to absorb water puddles to refill their water motive. PlantSims can also photosynthesize.
===Curing===
Line 125 ⟶ 131:
===Notes===
* In ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'', two pre-made PlantSims, [[Shea Hollis]] and [[Sharon Dorsey]], appear in [[Sims University]].
==The Sims 4==
[[File:TS4 Sim after eating Plant Matter.png|thumb|A Sim after eating Plant Matter|200px]]In ''[[The Sims 4: Cool Kitchen Stuff]]'', the [[ice cream maker]] can be used to create the ice cream "Plant Matter" (requires level 7 cooking and §47), which will temporarily give a Sim the ''appearance'' of a PlantSim, as well as a moodlet that urges them to spend time outside.<ref>The change can be seen in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCpWfAuij28#t=33 trailer] for Cool Kitchen Stuff, at approx. 30 seconds.</ref> This does not appear to affect the Sim's hair or clothes. This is only a temporary, cosmetic effect, and the affected Sim will not have any special needs.▼
The beans can now be found in rare seed packets, available when reaching level 10 of the [[Gardening (The Sims 4)|gardening]] skill, and the stump can be purchased from build mode.
===Motives===
PlantSims have two different needs from normal Sims: water (which replaces the bladder need) and a special hunger need, which can be filled via exposure to sunlight. They also have special moodlets for being out in the sun or in water which boost their happiness.
===Abilities===
True PlantSims can talk to plants to build [[social]], and absorb solar energy from plants to replenish their special hunger motive.<ref>https://simsvip.com/2018/08/22/the-sims-4-how-to-become-reverse-a-plantsim/</ref>
===Plant matter===
▲With [[The Sims 4/Patch 49|patch 49]] true PlantSimism was reintroduced into the game as a temporary [[life state]] with the [[Challenge event|PlantSim Challenge]]. Sims can now become PlantSims by eating a Forbidden Fruit, which is obtained by entering the Mystical Magic Bean Portal Tree. Firstly Sims must collect six magical beans (flirty, confident, sad, uncomfortable, tense, playful and angry). Orginally this was tied to a limited time event and was required from random Plantsims, who appear occasionally in each neighborhood. They also had to call [[Jasmine Holiday]], a challenge coordinator in order to get a magical stump, where they can put on the six magical beans. As of Seasons the Beans can be found in seed packets and the stump purchased in Buy mode. When the sim has collected all the beans and has put them on the magical stump, they can water the stump and it will grow into the "Mystical Magic Bean Portal Tree". By entering the tree, Sims can obtain the Forbidden Fruit through answering correctly a text-message short adventure. Once they obtain the fruit, Sims can eat it and become PlantSims or plant it and grow more Forbidden Fruits. PlantSims have two different needs from normal Sims; a special Water need, which replaces the Bladder need and a special Hunger need, which focuses on sunlight. They also have special moodlets for being out in the sun or in water which boost their happiness. PlantSimism lasts for 5 days and can be reapplied by eating more Forbidden Fruits. As of Seasons, Forbidden fruit can be planted to grow a tree containing more fruit.
