This all seems like a tremendous amount of effort and analysis to me for something the OP is just going to keep blowing up anyway... (and I'm pretty sure he's not going to mind me pointing this out). >:) :p

@Nikkei-Simmer — Just some slight corrections to your list:

1. Apologies if it was my previous post that gave the wrong impression; to clarify, I meant to say Grandpa’s Grove comes with the orange trees. AFAIK, the orange trees come with the venue, not with the tractor itself (if purchased separately).

2. On the Store page, the Bohemian Garden set lists 7 of the 8 harvestables that come with it—the 8th one not listed is the pecan tree.

4. The Greenhouse venue does not come with new harvestables (the flowers are a décor item and the PVZ Sunflower is an interactive object which produces collectible sunlight to use as fertilizer).

6. The Brunch at the Old Mill set includes 3 premium content items: Grandma’s Canning Station, The Old Miller Tea Time Tea Set and the Old Mill Water Wheel.

Good luck with your decision detonation plans! ;)

@starguru - I just finished a very long, grueling day at work and your Marvin the Martian pic made me laugh for about two minutes. So thanks, I needed that! :D

Here are pictures of using the greenhouse windows and the skylight from Roaring Heights to make a sun room.

It can be used for plants in a planter or potted plants, an artist's easel or a bird perch/tree.

Of course. Followed by "Someone has stolen my Illudium Pu-36 Explosive Space Modulator! This makes me very angry, very angry indeed!" :D

Did some checking on the SIMS3Store and listed all premium items in the sets along with their harvestables. It might help me to make a decision. And the canning station and the Swift-Gro Gardening station are looking quite interesting.

1. Grandpa’s Grove -tractor;
Harvestable: orange trees (comes with the tractor)

2. Bohemian Garden -
Harvestable: Strawberries,
Blueberries, Raspberries,
Blackberries, Peaches, Pears
Cocoa Beans for Chocolate

3. Business As Usual Bistro - It’s Business-Time Industrial Oven.
Harvestable: none
New Recipes: none
Opportunity: to create a food
service business

4. Stone’s Throw Greenhouse
Greenhouse build objects;
Swiftgro gardening station
Harvestable: Farm Fresh
Flowers, Sunflowers

5. Al Fresco Street Market
Humble Harvest Stands
Harvestable: Eggplant, Lemon
Tree

6. Brunch at the Old Mill
Grandma’s Canning Station
Harvestable: cucumber and
corn (decorative and harvestable)

Let me know if I’m missing any others.

L shaped stairs come with this "venue" as well as the tea set. This is one of the few that might be worth the asking price.

The DD rotation is currently at 369. Grandpa's Grove (1710SP) will be at its cheapest DD price (475SP) at 640.

78. Bohemian Garden - 646SP
887. Al Fresco - 496SP
945. Business As Usual - 646SP
952. Stone's Throw - 760SP
948. Brunch at Old Mill - 442SP

All of the above.

I personally use the greenhouse items more often as it makes gardening much easier especially if you have seasons in. I rarely use the venue. The tractor is fun for large farming families and for the 'hay ride'. I would put the Bistro at the end of the list. I also use the Brunch items with every one of my saves. I seem to love canning! If I had to pick one to do first it would be the greenhouse. All that glass would make for lovely explosive wounds in your sims. >:)

I would have said the Greenhouse as it offers protection for your plants from the elements or any stray, plant loving zombies who might pop up. However in terms of harvestables the Bohemian Garden offers a great new selection and is particularly valuable to any player who has gardening sims or fairies.
