Line 46:
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 may fall out of the head towill 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">The effect of the "Spores of Happiness" resembles a combination of the [[Rally Forth|"Rally Forth!"]] [[Business perks|business perk]] and a [[Snapdragon Bouquet]]. It raises the [[motive]]s of nearby Sims and slightly reduces the PlantSim's motives. The motive cost is much lower than that of "Rally Forth!", and releasing the "Spores of of Happiness" cannot kill a PlantSim, as PlantSims can only release them when their moods are very high.</ref> Propagated toddlers will have a sunflower pate instead of hair.
 
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>
