| Steve's a guy who gets things done, he dances in the morning sun. When rodents come to eat your crops, he runs 'em off, he's like the cops. He'll keep your veggies nice and whole, he'll stay alert atop his pole. When your garden's a loss and causing frustration, he makes a darn good decoration. | |

The "Stuff Me Silly" Scarecrow is just another weighty innovation from the folks at the McKraken. | |

|---|---|
| Patchy the Straw Man is made out of straw. He doesn't have hands. Not even a paw. But Patchy has patches and a big pumpkin hat. Put Patchy near plants and they'll grow just like that! The crows all love Patchy, he's a funny old rogue. Why's Patchy so scratchy? Because straw is in vogue. | |

Scarecrows are reintroduced in The Sims 4: Seasons in the form of an NPC called Patchy the Straw Man. When first purchased, Patchy is inanimate; Sims can chat with Patchy and build a relationship with him, after which he will come alive and help tend the gardens. Just like in previous games, Patchy can becomes alive, or even scare Sims if they view him for too long. Sims can ask Patchy for gardening tips to increase their gardening skill and collect seeds from his pockets. As long as Patchy maintains a good relationship with the Sims, he will stay alive and continue to help out.
