Plant-a-Sim Scenario Tips

I was able to complete this Scenario in 5 days, the span of just 1 Forbidden Fruit's effect.

I'll provide some tips here how to help with that.

Needs:

If you install an outdoor shower such as Almost InvisiShower 2.0, Steamy Times Shower, or In or Out? - Outdoor Shower, and shower on a sunny day, you can fulfill both Water and Hunger at the same time, while also topping off Water when photosynthesis is complete.

If you nap on a lounge chair or beach towel while it's sunny, you can fulfill Hunger and Energy simultaneously.

if you do the same in the rain, you can fulfill both Energy and Water at the same time.

Talking to plants fulfills both Social and Fun.

Plant Sims can fulfill some Hunger by eating produce from their inventory (in case the weather is being uncooperative.)

Goals:

There are a couple of goals that seem more problematic, but there are ways to breeze through them.

The goal to harvest from a perfect quality plant can be sped up by either using a Sim with the Sulani Mana trait, and using the Gift of Sulani power to evolve it one level per day.

If you're willing to cheat for it, the code is traits.equip_trait trait_Hidden_IslandAncestor_Elemental.

You can also instantly upgrade any plant to perfect by getting a Golden Chicken. This is done by feeding any chicken a Golden Treat.

The last goal is the worst, but not so bad once you know the following...

Care for plants 99 times... Yikes! right?

Here's the deal. This can be done quite quickly once you know what counts as care.

Water, Weed, Fertilize, Research, and Tend Garden interactions all count.

Here's the real Kicker... Tend Garden counts as 2, even if nothing needs tending. It ticks off one count when you start, and one more when the meter finishes.
