Gardening - what do you plant?
In this game, I started looking into gardening after I had been playing already for quite some time. Which may be a bit surprising, given I had been playing quite a few sims in the science career, whe...

@starguru I tried Saturenorn once. It's, again, very creative, but I'd like it more if I could have it in green and force the snow via Tempest or constant winter. Eh, I'm not even sure you spoke of it, but I had to think of it when you talked about crystals.
I haven’t come up with a good story idea to play out in Saturenorn yet, so it’s just been sitting in my folder. I have used some of the content in other worlds though. I have a made-over LL save where I use a lot of alien/fantasy ND skins, including the Saturnornian skin, as well as a couple Saturenorn builds. And OFC there are the crystal trees which I’ve used in various fantasy-based saves. I haven’t had a chance to do more than take a quick peek at Crowkeeper’s Mermaidia either, which I do have story plans for. :/ I wish I had more time to devote to the game, lol.

Okay, I tried the green dragon. I guess that one takes the cake. You level gardening like nothing by just speaking with it, and you even get full skill credit for its harvests. Yikes.
Anyway, I had Story Progression marry off one of my SV founder's grandsons to someone who was a few days short of elder. I went to Oasis Landing to work on a solution, preferably Ambrosia. Problem: there were just 4 days left. The older spouse had cooking mastered, fishing at level 5 and no gardening at all (the younger one only had cooking and fishing 3). To level fishing took a rather long time, even with the tablet, but for gardening, I used this:

The setup is ridiculous. I had the couple look for seeds, and they found 8 special ones between them, with one of them turning out to be a life plant. With that setup, it took about 4 ingame hours from seed to harvest. :lol:
The gardening station waters, the included composter weeds and fertilizes. The green dragon harvests and fertilizes. Both somehow push the plants to the next stages. Maybe something if you play on super short lifespans.
Reading the Ambrosia recipe took longer than getting the life fruit (after the seed had been found) :smiley: .
RE: leveling fishing... Did you listen to the fishing tabcast while actively fishing to speed the skill gain rate? If not, stacking the two would be worthwhile at those higher levels.
I have always kept baby dragons exclusively to my fantasy saves, and never tried combining dragon abilities with the SwiftGro. IIRC, using the PVZ Sunflower’s sunlight for composting with the SwiftGro is what pushes the plants to the next stage faster. With the baby green dragons able to do that too... that's insane. :joy:
With that sweet setup you have there, all you need now is an omni plant to replicate deathfish faster for ambrosia. Catch a deathfish, feed it to an omni plant, do a speed growth/harvest routine, feed the omni again with one of the harvested deathfish, breed the others in aquariums, analyze and clone more from samples... Using various combinations of these methods, my households end up eating ambrosia every week just for the moodlet. :p
Anyway, now I’m considering experimenting with a fairy-vampire hybrid whose nighttime pursuits will include using bloom and a baby green dragon to grow and harvest the massive amounts of plasma fruits needed for plasma nectar, using omni plants. :lol:
