I absolutely love PlantSims! Since TS2 they have been one of my favorite life states. Sadly in TS4 they were added as a temporary life state, which was a big letdown. Most people don’t even know about them unless they played the game during the 2016 Spring Challenge.
This mod is here to fix that and bring a more permanent PlantSim play style.
With this mod, there are multiple ways to become a PlantSim depending on how you want to experience it.
The new EA scenario allows you to start/choose a household to start the “PlantSim Challenge”. Once you start the scenario your sim will have a “Forbidden Fruit” in their inventory. Eat the fruit to become a PlantSim.
With 500 reward points, you can purchase the “PlantSim” reward store item. This will give your sim a “Forbidden Fruit” in their personal inventory. You can then eat it to become a PlantSim.
If you befriend the Mysterious Tree near the “Crick Cabana” lot in Willow Creek eventually it will open up a secret door for you to explore. If you successfully complete the adventure you will be asked to go to “Sylvan Glade”, once you travel there your sim will be given a “Forbidden Fruit” in their personal inventory.
With PlantSim Lives, there is no longer a time limit on being a PlantSim. You will be a PlantSim forever unless you take the cure to turn your Sim back into a human.
With PlantSim Lives you are able to use any hairstyle on your PlantSims. You are no longer limited to the short hairstyle EA forced PlantSims to have.
PlantSims have 2 idle animations they do. One during photosynthesis and one randomly where they grow these little leaves as pictured. With PlantSim Lives I have reduced how frequently this happens. So PlantSims will only do these idle animations occasionally instead of pretty much every 5 sim minutes.
With this mod, you will find new interactions for PlantSims and for other sims to use with PlantSims. More interactions will be added over time.
I also recommend these awesome interactions by Triplis “PlantSim Interactions Mod”. These do work with this mod! 🙂
PlantSims generally do not eat. They need sunlight to fill their hunger motive. But on cloudy days there is no sun and your PlantSim could starve! So I have added the following items that your PlantSim can eat/drink to satisfy their need for sunlight.
These items can be found on any EA fridge/stove in the new “PlantSim” menu. If you use my Srsly’s Complete Cooking Overhaul mod then this menu will be under the “Make Custom” > “Occult” menu.
Plant Tattoos – CAS
You will find 2 new tattoos in CAS, these are unisex. One is a remake of The Sims 2 PlantSim tattoo that covers the entire body, the other is a small flower located at the back of the neck. Each tattoo comes in multiple opacities.
How to Stop Being a PlantSim
If you no longer wish to be a PlantSim then you can spend 500 reward store points to buy the “Plantophic-C” PlantSim cure. Once you buy the reward item it will be found in your sims personal inventory. Once they drink it they will become human again.
