More garden seed varieties

So if I had my way I would totally refresh Cooking, Baking, Gardening, Mixology, Flower Arranging. This is a complete discussion for another time. Concentrating upon Gardening and where it deals with cooking/baking I'd suggest these things.

I would like to these harvestables for Cooking/Baking/Canning. 

• Butternut Squash
• Cabbage
• Celery
• Cucumbers
• Dill
• Lime Tree
• Orange Tree
• Peach Tree
• Plum Tree 
• Portobello Mushrooms
• Red Pepper
• Rosemary 
• Sweet Potatoes
• Thyme

I would also like these Buy Items 

• Composter
• Gardening Plant Signs with the picture of the plant 
• Single Sprinkler Heads - Sims 2 had these, they were made to look like a sprinkler system and all came on at the same time. 

Things I'd Like in the Game to make Gardening more fun

• Community Lot Designations 
  • Community Garden
  • Florist Shop
  • Garden Center 
  • Hedge Maze - I know we can make one now BUT what I'm going for is a special community lot that has something, maybe an object or something else that compels Sims to walk through it. Not something that makes the obsessively do it but just something that allows them to walk it and enjoy it. A useful lot rather than a decorative one.
  • Japanese Tea Garden 
• Flower Shows 
• Garden Judging - Like in Sims 2 when Judges come and look over your house's garden writing upon little note pads and wearing Business Attire with Green Sashes and Boutonnieres. I think they should all be elders. 

I think there are enough dubious looking decor items in the game that we could do without and the costs could go towards some nicer plants. It's not like we get 20 new harvestable plants in a pack anyway so it shouldn't use up a lot of the budget. 

crocobaura​, My family has also planted tomatillos is our irl garden. It is part of the tomato family as that is how many use it. I lnow the peppers are just different ripeness stages, but many video games treat them as just a different plants that requires a longer growing period. The generic bushes are honestly how games can somewhat reuse assets to save on cost.

I had to look it up as I am not familiar with this plant, but from what I see, and from the name, a tomatillo is not a tomato, even though it may look a bit like one. It resembles mostly the physalis fruit and plant. Yellow, orange, and red peppers are same plant as the green pepper, just different ripeness stage. Don't think they will add that, but would sure be nice to have and be able to harvest them at different ripeness or growth stage. Personally, I am happy for all new plants they add, especially if they make them look like the real plant instead of the generic bush that came with basegame. I would love if they added cabbage and cauliflower, leeks, sunflowers as harvestables, corn, sugar cane or beets,  chestnut or walnut trees. 

Honestly, if they did an update or a pack that was to update (textures/models/UI/etc.) just for Gardening, Cooking (Baking) and Fishing—it be what we need. Which would better work with CoL, HCHSP and CKSP (and any pack that has food/dishes/plants/fish).

To upgrade Simple Living, add way more plants and dishes.

I mean I'd love it if they refreshed Cool Kitchen so much. If ice cream could come in a commercial display for businesses to scoop out for customers. If they had Mint Herb to make mint ice cream, etc.

I'd also like it if they finally put all "Baking Items" under Baking for the stove (and just if you don't have GTW you don't get the skill and extra recipes). I have lost my mind looking for recipes under the "wrong" selection. Like the L&D bake a cake (for cowplant). How stupid it feels to have to look up a guide to find out it is under "cooking" not "baking".....

It would also be nice if traits like vegetarian and lactose intolerant were under a new dietary panel/UI instead, with likes/dislikes of cuisine types, and bring back "Favourite Food"!

crocobaura​, A tomatillo is a green tomato variant. They are green when ripe. I know since I work at a grocery store irl. I would love some yellow, orange, amd red peppers since seasons only gave us green peppers. They also could have given us more options from the squash family of plants, and more leafy vegetables like kale or bok choy. On second thought, I might as well play Story of Seasons instead, because there are many more plants options to grow.

Green tomatoes are unripe tomatoes. I would really love if they made proper meshes/designs for the plants we already have, there's many that use the bush mesh when in real life they don't grow in a bush plant, like carrots, tulips, spinach, etc.

I agree, especially for Lot Challenges like Simple Living. And with the new solarium roof and windows I just want every lot to have a massive greenhouse and garden lmao. But yeah I figured by now we would have way more selection given the base game came with so many. Sims 3 had so many varieties of things also, like the grapes and mushrooms. 

I have green peas but not beans, thx for tip I’m definitely going to look and buy seeds 😁

I would love more harvestables. Gardening is one of my favorite activities.
