    @EeveeTinn  You may not be buying enough seed packs since you haven't gotten tomatoes and potatoes.  They are both uncommon plants so you have to buy the uncommon seed packs. When you open them, what you get is random so to get everything takes a lot of seed packs and it can add up if your household is running short on simoleons.  It is especially frustrating when buying the rare ones at $1K a pop.  I forget what the uncommon ones are atm.  You can spend a lot of cash trying to get the magic beans or a specific rare plant for instance.  Or in your case, tomatoes or potatoes.

    Since you don't have City Living, then you don't have the option to buy them at the produce vendors as there are no produce vendors in the other packs.  So in a cash strapped household, you basically have to spend enough time in a zone where they grow wild and in the right season to get them.  FYI, potatoes are winter and tomatoes are summer so if you tried to find them in the spring and fall, you're not going to be able to get any.

    Hope this helps.

This is why I wanted a fresh answer as I read before that you can't get all the plants from seed packages (potatoes and tomatoes fx). I have been playing for 2 months and had sims level up to 10 and bought a lot of seed packages but never got to have all of them, but as you suggested for getting the wild plants I will keep doing that 🙂

I don't have Realm of Magic, I have these: University, Island Living, Pets, Seasons (bought few days ago), Vampires, Dine Out, Spa Day, Tiny Living Stuff, Laundry Day Stuff, Holiday and Perfect Patio Stuff. 

When I installed Seasons, some of basic plants I didn't manage to get before Seasons, appeared in the seed packs so that was nice. I will see how it goes with your advice, thanks 😁
