PlantSim

A PlantSim from The Sims 2.

The PlantSim is a life state included with The Sims ii: Seasons, The Sims iii: University Life,^[1] The Sims 4: Cool Kitchen Stuff, and patch 49 of The Sims 4.

The Sims: Makin' Magic [edit | edit source]

In The Sims: Makin' Magic, a PlantSim wait is one of the options when a magical adult Sim successfully uses the "Beauty or Beast" charm. The PlantSim look is available for both genders. As with all changes made with "Beauty or Creature", it is simply cosmetic, and has no consequence on the Sim'southward interactions with other Sims.

The Sims two: Seasons [edit | edit source]

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 information technology is the amount of pesticide a Sim uses over time that can trigger the transformation (in a single lot playtime, the effect does non stack when relieve and exiting). If a Sim becomes a PlantSim accidentally, contacting a fellow member of the Garden Order may aid to restore them to normal. A witch may also be able to help, or the Sim tin telephone 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 badge. A PlantSim who is restored to normal Sim-hood will retain the badge and therefore the power to talk to plants.

History [edit | edit source]

Since synthetic pesticides are a relatively recent development, information technology would seem that PlantSims came into being recently. However, information technology would also appear that in that location is a natural lodge 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 club in the mountains near Riverblossom Hills, where Rose Greenman was discovered.

Needs [edit | edit source]

PlantSims have only three needs, the aforementioned "needs" as all plants:

Love - Can exist satisfied like the social need or by talking to plants.
Water - Can be satisfied by pond, drinking h2o, showering, bathing, splashing in puddles, being in the rain, etc. Toddler PlantSims can also satisfy their water need past drinking from a bottle or eating flowers.
Sunlight - Can be satisfied by being in the dominicus or under a special greenhouse calorie-free. This motive will not deplete when the PlantSim is frightened. ^{[confirmation needed]}

It is best to always keep the PlantSim in some grade of lite, as the Sunlight demand deteriorates faster than the other needs and cannot be replenished with the "MaxMotives" cheat (Simply tin can be with "testingCheats"). A PlantSim'south Love and Water motives are afflicted by being in the room with a Snapdragon Boutonniere, but this does not affect the Sunlight motive. A PlantSim tin replenish both H2o and Sunlight simultaneously past being out in the pelting during the daytime. However, while a PlantSim is bathing to replenish the Water motive, existence under a greenhouse lite will non affect the Sunlight motive.

PlantSims besides 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 Open for Business organisation is installed, a PlantSim employed in a actor-owned business may complain well-nigh normal-Sim motives. If FreeTime is installed, a PlantSim's invisible Fun motive volition bear upon how long he or she volition read a hobby mag. A PlantSim's mood may be affected by these invisible motives. For example, when a PlantSim has been standing for a long period of time and hasn't been doing anything fun, his or her mood may be in deep red despite the iii PlantSim motives being well-nigh full.

PlantSims, like Servos, can eat and use toilets, even though they practice not need to do either. An unselectable PlantSim visiting a lot may utilise a toilet and, if at a restaurant, may order and eat a meal. Information technology should be noted, however, that if PlantSims do eat, it volition affect their fitness level, which will eventually brand them fat.

Biological science [edit | edit source]

Creation [edit | edit source]

Due to the demand of pesticides to transform, information technology is safe to infer that the overuse of pesticides genetically modify the Sim in question.

Physiology [edit | edit source]

Because of the Sunlight need, it can exist assumed that PlantSims photosynthesize like any other plant. They retain the ability to swallow, although they take no demand to swallow and gain no benefits from eating.

PlantSims take shorter lives than normal Sims. Their only life stages are toddler, adult, and elder, so PlantSims who enter life every bit toddlers will never attend school and cannot go to college.^{[due north i]} However, this is counterbalanced by PlantSims passing on their skills and talents when they reproduce asexually; PlantSim toddlers may take a shorter overall lifespan than Sim toddlers, but they become 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 volition alive out whichever stage they are in.^[two] Like normal Sims, PlantSims can use the Elixir of Life to extend their lives.

PlantSims practise not have any hair on their heads, and on initial transformation, whatsoever that was there before will be replaced with a growth of leaves and blossom saplings. This produces spores which tin can produce clones or improve the physical conditions of other forms of life in the immediate vicinity, including other PlantSims. When at least iii PlantSims release the "Spores of Happiness" at once, they may perpetually mutually improve each other's needs.^{[n 2]} Propagated toddlers volition 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 identify PlantSims as the caption for the myth. As seen with the Greenman family in their photo album pictures, an entire guild of PlantSims seems to exist in the wild, further supporting the theory that they fill up the role of mythological elves or pixies.^{[n 3]}

It appears that PlantSims besides 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.

PlantSims tolerate heat much meliorate than normal Sims do. They can become warm, only cannot overheat. Even so, they can get common cold enough to freeze.

Reproduction [edit | edit source]

Unlike other life states which result from the transformation of Sims, PlantSims tin reproduce themselves. A PlantSim tin "Abound a Plantbaby" on the spot where they stand, simply by spreading the spores in their heads. A PlantSim will usually spawn one Toddler, but on very rare occasions, they take been known to spawn twins. The new PlantSim toddler will have all toddler skills,^{[n 4]} and will also have the aforementioned skills and talent badges equally the parent, though the talent badges may be at a lower level. They will as well accept an identical personality but a different star sign. This is unusual, as a newly generated Sim's Zodiac sign is normally determined by his or her personality.

PlantSims may also reproduce sexually by WooHooing as normal Sims exercise, and the female PlantSim or Sim will get pregnant. Male PlantSims may father other Sims' children and even alien children. The naturally produced baby volition be a normal Sim, fifty-fifty if both parents are PlantSims, which suggests that the PlantSim transformation may only alter a Sim's somatic cells, leaving the germline, or reproductive cells, intact.

Appearance [edit | edit source]

All PlantSims accept a default hairstyle and clothing, and so they all look very much alike aside from their facial features. They can utilize Plan Outfit to change their clothes and outfits if the player and then chooses. They will alter into swimwear, gym wearing apparel, etc., equally other Sims do. Toddler PlantSims will look like their father, the ideal plantsim, a subconscious NPC.

For the purposes of chemistry, PlantSims are considered to have full face make-upwardly. The PlantSim skin tone is not unlocked when using Debug Mode in CAS.

Issues [edit | edit source]

The abbreviated life cycle and general nature of PlantSims can cause some issues, especially with regard to aspiration advantage points and the lifetime aspiration bar, if present. Since PlantSim toddlers bypass the child and teen stages, already know how to walk and talk, and don't need to be potty trained, they volition by and large enter adulthood with fewer aspiration reward points and lifetime aspiration points than a normal Sim will. Equally far as aspiration benefits are concerned, this may be somewhat balanced past nearly benefits in the Motives track (except perchance Social and Comfort) beingness either partially or completely useless to PlantSims. However, they will be at a serious disadvantage when it comes to filling the lifetime aspiration bar.

In addition, the fact that PlantSim toddlers featherbed the child and teen stages makes it very difficult to influence a PlantSim's personality by means of the "Encourage..." interaction, since toddlers cannot exist Encouraged at all, PlantSims tin can only exist Encouraged while they are adults, and fifty-fifty then only by elder relatives.

Becoming a PlantSim [edit | edit source]

Spraying: Subsequently a playable adult or elderberry Sim has sprayed garden plants or orchard trees for bugs fifteen times,^[3] any further spraying by that Sim has a x% risk (per spray) of turning him or her into a PlantSim.^[4] Children, teens, and young adults cannot become PlantSims, but can spray. Their spraying may affect their chances of transforming.^{[confirmation needed]}; However, information technology has been noted^[5] that the number of times Sims on a lot have sprayed is not saved when exiting the lot and will therefore be reset to cypher 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 unit bin.
Cheating: boolprop testingcheatsenabled true allows the thespian to shift-click on any garden plants and orchard trees to cause them to become infested with bugs, speeding up the process of spraying. Infesting has the side result of causing the plants to grow to their final country before becoming harvestable.

Curing PlantSimism [edit | edit source]

PlantSimism can be cured by drinking the Plantophic-C potion. Plantophic-C can be bought from non-playable Garden Club members or from the Gypsy Matchmaker. With Apartment Life, witches can make Plantophic-C in their cauldrons. It has been noted^[6] that a Sim'due south spray count is not reset after he or she becomes a PlantSim, and so a Sim may become a PlantSim shortly later on beingness cured of PlantSimism. This may be mitigated past the spray count being reset upon exiting a lot, as described to a higher place.

Notes [edit | edit source]

↑ PlantSim toddlers volition not get the retentiveness of missing out on higher when they become adults.
↑ The effect of the "Spores of Happiness" resembles a combination of the "Rally Forth!" business organization perk and a Snapdragon Bouquet. It raises the motives of nearby Sims and slightly reduces the PlantSim's motives. The motive toll is much lower than that of "Rally Along!", and releasing the "Spores of of Happiness" cannot kill a PlantSim, equally PlantSims can only release them when their moods are very loftier.
↑ On close exam, information technology may be noted that the PlantSims shown in the pictures take "normal" ears and facial features, only similar whatsoever normal Sim that was transformed by overusing pesticides. It can be causeless that they were created for the purpose of making the pictures and not run through several generations.
↑ Does not include the nursery rhyme skill from FreeTime.

The desire tree relating to PlantSims is different from that of other occult life states, such equally vampires, werewolves and witches. One divergence 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 add-on, non-Cognition PlantSims volition fearfulness others becoming PlantSims, specially during dates (if Nightlife is installed). If FreeTime is installed, a Sim with Knowledge as his or her secondary aspiration will often roll wants to get an occult (for instance, wanting to get a werewolf after the "see wolf" want is fulfilled). However, if the PlantSim desire tree is triggered on that same Sim, he or she volition fear becoming a PlantSim, without having the respective desire, but will mostly not roll the want for the other Sim to be cured.

The Sims 3: Academy Life [edit | edit source]

PlantSims were confirmed to return in The Sims three: Academy Life via a Tweet on February thirteen, 2013.^[7]

Appearance [edit | edit source]

The advent of PlantSims is different from those in The Sims 2: Seasons. Their outfit consists more often than not of leaves and tin can exist whatsoever color. When they walk, flowers grow behind them.

Biology [edit | edit source]

Unlike The Sims 2: Seasons, PlantSims employ all the same life stages as normal Sims, though normal Sims who are younger than teens cannot become PlantSims.

A PlantSim'south lifespan is the same as a normal Sim'southward.

Creation [edit | edit source]

Normal Sims who are teens or older can become PlantSims past eating a Forbidden Fruit. In add-on, Sims at university who have office in a science experiment accept a xx% gamble of becoming PlantSims. In either case, the afflicted Sim will receive a "Botanitis Minorous" moodlet, which will last 4 hours; if the moodlet is not cured or removed in that time, the Sim will become a PlantSim.^[8]

The Forbidden Fruit tin be obtained by planting a Forbidden Fruit seed and choosing "Tend Garden" to become an edible fruit, or past using the Science Research Station to clone an existing seed or fruit.

A Sim with level 9 Scientific discipline skill could take a DNA sample from a PlantSim and clone it in the scientific discipline enquiry station, producing a clone PlantSim baby.

PlantSims cannot be created in Create a Sim, fifty-fifty if The Sims 3: Supernatural is installed.^[9] However, if the role player uses the testingcheatsenabled "Edit in CAS" choice on a PlantSim, the life land is seen as a supernatural type, probable suggesting that it may have been intended to be an assignable life state in Create a Sim. They tin be also saved to bin and later accessing going to Create-A-Sim again, they tin exist chosen, customized, and will appear as PlantSims and accept special abilities.

Reproduction [edit | edit source]

PlantSims cannot get pregnant. They can produce a Forbidden Fruit seed, plant it, grow it, and selection the fully grown fruit. Picking a fully grown Forbidden Fruit has a 50% take chances of producing a PlantSim baby.^[8]

If a PlantSim uses their Poison Kiss ability, information technology gives their target the Poisoned moodlet for iii hours. When information technology runs out, information technology will usually make them vomit but it has a 15% chance to turn them into a PlantSim if they do not have another life state. Other Plantsims volition always turn down the Toxicant Kiss.

If you have a Sim get pregnant, merely then the father turns into a Plantsim afterwards, in that location is a risk the infant would be a PlantSim.

Motives [edit | edit source]

PlantSims do not have a Hunger or Float motive; the meters for those needs are covered by leaves in their motives console. The game claims that PlantSims "absorb nutrients ambiently" for the tool tip for the Hunger motive, explaining why they do not take a Hunger motive. The Hygiene motive is replaced by a "H2o" motive, which can be filled by having the PlantSim come into contact with water, such as past pond, existence in the rain^[TS3:S] ^[ten], using a hot tub, or taking a shower, or by "photosynthesizing". Photosynthesizing restores both energy and water, and can only be washed outdoors during the mean solar day. The Energy demand lone can nevertheless be satisfied past sleeping in beds.

Players should note that PlantSims' Water motive even so works similarly to Hygiene, as whatever physical activity/training volition bleed 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 [edit | edit source]

PlantSims are able to communicate with plants, including offending them past telling them that their mother was an acorn. They are also amend gardeners than other Sims. PlantSims can send flower kisses to other Sims and can also poisonous substance them with poison kisses. PlantSims are too able to absorb water puddles to refill their water motive. PlantSims can also photosynthesize.

Curing [edit | edit source]

PlantSimism can be cured at the Science Facility for 3000 simoleons or by creating "Super Spice" with the Science Research Station. If The Sims 3: Supernatural is installed, the Potent Cure Elixir volition cure PlantSimism.^[8] This often changes their hairstyle quite heavily.

Notes [edit | edit source]

In The Sims 3: Academy Life, ii pre-made PlantSims, Shea Hollis and Sharon Dorsey, appear in Sims Academy.

The Sims 4 [edit | edit source]

Patch 49 reintroduced true PlantSimism into the game equally a temporary life country with the fourth dimension-limited PlantSim challenge. Sims can go PlantSims by eating a Forbidden Fruit, which is obtained by entering the Mystical Magic Bean Portal Tree. The challenge required Sims to collect half-dozen magical beans (flirty, confident, sad, uncomfortable, tense, playful and aroused) 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 half-dozen magical beans on it. They tin 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 tin swallow it and become PlantSims or constitute it and grow more Forbidden Fruits (which can be eaten). PlantSimism lasts for 5 days.

The beans tin can now be constitute in rare seed packets, bachelor when reaching level 10 of the gardening skill, and the stump can be purchased from build mode.

Motives [edit | edit source]

PlantSims have 2 different needs from normal Sims: water (which replaces the bladder demand) and a special hunger need, which can be filled via exposure to sunlight. They also accept special moodlets for being out in the sun or in water which heave their happiness.

Abilities [edit | edit source]

True PlantSims can talk to plants to build social, and absorb solar energy from plants to replenish their special hunger motive.^[11]

Plant affair [edit | edit source]

In The Sims 4: Cool Kitchen Stuff, the ice cream maker tin be used to create the water ice cream "Constitute Matter" (requires level viii cooking and §47), which will temporarily give a Sim the appearance of a PlantSim, besides as a moodlet that urges them to spend fourth dimension outside.^[12] This does not appear to affect the Sim'due south hair or dress. This is only a temporary, cosmetic effect, and the affected Sim will not take any special needs.
