Sims 3 Debug Items Unhidden

I use buydebug all the time to add the martial arts trainer and board breaker to my gyms. And also use the spawners to add items to worlds that don't have them.

My go-to in buydebug is the Pet Hygienator and the 2x1 wall light. I place the light to get better lighting for my screenshots. The secret is out! :innocent:

If I remember correctly, when you put the plants from buydebug on an active lot, they need to grow just as if you planted them with your Sim in game.

The plants stayed red and I could not place them. I must have been doing something wrong. Also, I still have not managed to plant anything in Sims 3 in live mode. When planting did not work exactly like it did in Sims 4, I got distracted and forgot to go back and research this. Sometimes I miss the most obvious things.

In Sims 3 your sim needs to find seeds to plant. Seeds spawn around the world and it can take ages to find them. I like to garden in the game so I always add the Stones Throw Greenhouse to my games. There are a lot of seed spawners in it. But some people say there are too many spawners and they cause lag so they place the greenhouse and delete the spawners. The only reason I use the greenhouse is to get the spawners in my game and I don’t notice any lag from them.

Once your sim has seeds they will be able to plant some of them. But will need to have a gardening skill of 5 or more to plant uncommon seeds and a skill of 7 or more to plant rare and special seeds.

Thank you for explaining all this! I want to do some gardening.

You can add plants on your family lots with buydebug on and they are fully grown.

@Katofhyrule12 , I noticed this thread a little late so hopefully you already solved this, but maybe the reason your Sim wasn't able to plant seeds in live mode was that it was an uncommon, rare or special seed, and your sim's gardening skill wasn't high enough? Or maybe the weather was too cold for gardening to work, if you played with Seasons on?
( I have no idea what could cause planting in buydebug not to work, though!)

Her gardening might not have been high enough. Seasons is on. I think it might have been late fall. I was having trouble fishing, so maybe planting was restricted too. Thanks for the ideas!

You're welcome! Just to add something in case you haven't come across the info yet: if you want your gardener to find rare and special seeds without cheating, there are some other ways besides just finding them lying around in the world:

- go to the cemetery and explore the mausoleum. It's a rabbithole adventure which can sometimes give you a valuable gem or seed
- dumpster diving can also give you a seed, among other things
- in World Adventure worlds, there is sometimes a valuable seed in a treasure chest or an excavation site.

There are probably other ways that I can't think of now. And thinking about this makes me want to play a gardening Sim again!

If I remember correctly, in Sunset Valley, there are seeds that spawn in the grass outside of the cemetery.
