PlantSim

PlantSims are released with The Sims 2: Seasons, they are created by overuse of pestisides on plants or fruit trees. To become a PlantSim takes time, but more trees in the residence help. If your Sim becomes a PlantSim accidentally, contacting a member of the Garden club may help to restore them back to normal.

Needs

PlantSims have only three needs.

• Love - Similar to social.
• Water - Can be satisfied by swimming, drinking water, showering, bathing, splashing in puddles, being in the rain, etc.)
• Sunlight - Can be satisfied by being in the sun or under a special greenhouse light.

As you can see, they require the same needs as all plants. When a Sim becomes a PlantSim, they can talk to plants (which boosts the plants' health dramatically, as well as the PlantSims 'Love' need) and they automatically receive a Golden Gardening Badge.

Life Stages

PlantSims have only three stages of life:

• Toddler
• Adult
• Elder

When a PlantSim wants to have a child, the user need only click on the Sim and select 'Produce Plantbaby' and a PlantSim toddler will appear before them. They produce asexually so they can only have one parent unless they have a regular baby naturally with WooHoo.

When a PlantSim is born, they inherit all the skills of the parent, which is useful because they don't have the Teen year to gain skills.

PlantSims may reproduce sexually if desired. In that case, they must WooHoo, and the female PlantSim will get pregnant. Male PlantSims may father other Sim's children and alien children.

Appearance

All PlantSims have a default hairstyle and clothing, so they all look very much alike aside from their facial features, but they may change their clothes and outfit if wanted.
