[[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,
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 51:
Because of the Sunlight need, it can be assumed that PlantSims photosynthesize like any other plant. They retain the ability to eat, although they have no need to eat and gain no benefits from eating.
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"
PlantSims do not have any hair on their heads, and on initial transformation, any that was there before will be replaced with a growth of leaves and flower saplings. This produces spores which can produce clones or improve the physical conditions of other forms of life in the immediate vicinity, including other PlantSims. When at least three PlantSims release the "Spores of Happiness" at once, they may perpetually mutually improve each other's needs.<ref group="n"
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"
It appears that PlantSims also produce pollen, or at least are capable of doing so at their wish. PlantSims have been known to play pranks on other Sims by blowing pollen on them.

===Motives===
PlantSims do not have a [[Hunger]] or [[Bladder]] motive; the meters for those needs are covered by leaves in their motives panel. The game claims that PlantSims "absorb nutrients ambiently" for the tool tip for the Hunger motive, explaining why they do not have a Hunger motive. The [[Hygiene]] motive is replaced by a "Water" motive, which can be filled by having the PlantSim come into contact with water, such as by swimming, being in the rain{{Vgversion|TS3:S}}<ref>[https://youtu.be/F-sE16g7Nhw?t=226 Video about PlantSims by The Red Plumbob on YouTube]</ref>, using a hot tub, or taking a shower, or by "photosynthesizing". Photosynthesizing restores both energy and water, and can only be done outdoors during the day. The [[Energy]] need alone can still be satisfied by sleeping in beds.
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.

* In ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'', two pre-made PlantSims, [[Shea Hollis]] and [[Sharon Dorsey]], appear in [[Sims University]].
==The Sims 4==
[[File:TS4 PlantSim Challenge icon.png|40px]][[The Sims 4/Patch 49|Patch 49]] reintroduced true PlantSimism into the game as a temporary [[life state]] with the time-limited [[Challenge event|PlantSim challenge]]. Sims can become PlantSims by eating a Forbidden Fruit, which is obtained by entering the Mystical Magic Bean Portal Tree. The challenge required Sims to collect six magical beans (flirty, confident, sad, uncomfortable, tense, playful and angry) from random PlantSims that appeared occasionally in each neighborhood. They then had to call [[Jasmine Holiday]], a challenge coordinator, in order to get a magical stump, and place the six magical beans on it. They can then water the stump for it to grow into the "Mystical Magic Bean Portal Tree". By entering the tree, Sims can obtain the Forbidden Fruit through answering correctly a short text-based adventure. Once they obtain the fruit, Sims can eat it and become PlantSims or plant it and grow more Forbidden Fruits (which can be eaten). PlantSimism lasts for 5 days.
