Plants that require the Sim to spray for bugs will have a large number of bugs flying around the plant and will make an audible 'buzzing' sound. Plants that require weeding will produce small white and yellow flowers around their base. Weeds and bugs occur randomly and can occur every 24 hours, or not at all.

None of the plants found on Sixam in The Sims 4: Get to Work require watering. All plants need to be tended to at least once on a daily basis, meaning that even if a plant is not tended to for 12 hours, fully tending it once will provide double the progress of what it lost. Each segment of the bar represents one of the quality stages of a plant. If the colored part of the bar is closer to the previous segment it means the plant is in poor health, halfway is normal or just evolved and closer to the next segment means its close to evolving. Its current health is represented by a progress bar separated in segments when highlighting the plant. Every 12 Sim hours that it remains untended (unwatered, covered in weeds, or surrounded by bugs), it will decrease in health until it dies. Every 12 Sim hours that it remains tended to, it will increase in health, until it is ready to increasing in quality. When a plant needs to be watered again, its base will appear dry (although visual difference is subtle). Be aware that actual location of the planted seed may shift a little to match the grid.Īfter it is planted, the Sim can water it to keep it healthy until it grows. Once the seed or fruit is placed in a spot (on the ground) where it can be planted, the "Plant" interaction will appear when the Sim clicks on it. So be aware not to buy and open too many seed packs, since your inventory will be full of duplicate, tedious to get rid off seeds. You can eat or plant seeds, but you can't sell them from inventory.

This items are seeds, although they have same icon and model as grown fruit/flower/whatever. Once the Sim received the seed packet, opening it will give the sim one (the higher level packs) or multiple (the starter packs) items. The easiest way to start a garden is to purchase seed packets at a computer or by clicking on a flower pot, or buying the harvestable from shops around the world. You can get your first plants by harvesting plants, growing wild on public lot. Starting with level 1 gardening, a Sim can plant flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables on their property, either outdoors on bare earth, or in flower pots. At level 4, Sims can "Talk to Plants," which will build the gardening skill and satisfy social needs. After reaching level 2, sims can "Research Gardening" on any computer or Research Plant when interacting with a plant. Sims also read a gardening skill book to level the skill more quickly. Gardening is mainly built by tending various garden plants. Buy Starter, Seasonal and Catnip Seed Packets
