Plant Sim Challenge 2018
I missed the Plant Sim Challenge in 2017, yet the locked rewards are still in the menu. Will the challenge, and related Egg Hunt, be reactivated in March? If so, when?

@Floymin, we don't really know either! That was an event where Jasmine Holiday showed up in your game for a short time and helped you with that challenge. But, since there is a Jasmine Holiday event (Boost Week) going on right now, I doubt there would be one in time for this Easter! ☹️ Also, they didn't re-run the Day of the Dead challenge last Halloween from the year before, so it is doubtful they would run the Easter challenge again this year.
It is possible that they could redo these challenges next year, but there are no grantees.
However, there is a way to get the items from these challenges using a cheat! 🤨 🤫
Go into the Build/Buy Mode. Bring up the Cheat Box by pressing at the same time "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "C". Then in the box type "bb.showhiddenobjects" and then press "Enter". (Don't forget to type the period after bb)!
Then go into the "Search Objects by Room" selection and click on the dinning room icon (an icon of a table). Then on the table there is a picture that looks like a bowl of fruit; click on that (it is called "Misc. Decorations". Then scroll through the items listed until you find the Easter eggs (or any other collectible you want). The Easter eggs won't be all listed together, so you will have to look through all the items in this category to be sure you got them all. You can also find all the sugar skulls from the Day of the Dead challenge, as well as any rocks, frogs, elements, etc.!
So, while you won't have the fun of having your Sims search for these items while playing the game, at least you can still have these items in your Sims' homes! 😇
If you have anymore questions, please ask! Happy Simming! 🥳
If I get the Plant Sim items by cheating, will I still be able to make a permanent Plant Sim? Will I also be able to get the bonus item from collecting all Sugar Skulls and Decorative Eggs?
@Floymin, excellent question! I'm not sure about the Plant Sim since I was able to complete that challenge, and so I never used the cheat to get the eggs. I could always test it out for you, or you can test it if you wish. There also might be a way to use another cheat to get a PlantSim, but I would have to do some research to be sure. 😉 I want to say I thought I remembered someone saying they did this, but I can't be sure.
As for the Sugar Skulls, even though my computer had problems during this challenge and I missed it, I still keep forgetting to get all the skulls myself 🤭 😳 I'm not even sure what happened during the challenge if you completed it! 😃 I think I remember someone saying that you don't get the special item, but since all special non-career items are supposed to be unlocked this way, I would think you could still get that item, as long as you can find it in Build/Buy Mode with that cheat running. (By the way there is another separate cheat to get all the items for leveling up in the different careers. Bring up the cheat box like before and type "bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement" and press "Enter" ) 😉
I will try to see if I can find out that information for you! 🙂
(Edited for my crummy spelling! 🤭)
Edited again for update: I checked my game and you need the career reward unlock cheat that I gave you above ("bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement" ) to get the Magic PlantSim Stump to put the crystal/seed pod things into in order to make your Sim become a PlantSim. But the crystal/seed pods are found in the "bb.showhiddenhobjects" cheat. I still don't know if by cheating a magic stump with the crystal/seed pods will make the special tree grow that you enter to get the forbidden fruit that you need to eat to become a PlantSim works or not. I will test this for you.
Likewise, I found the sugar skull case with the bb.ingoregameplayunlocksentitlement cheat and the sugar skulls are unlocked with the bb.showhiddenobjects cheat. The display case for the sugar skulls said that this will enable you to honor the dead and allow new interactions with the Grim Reaper. This will be harder for me to test since I will have to kill a Sim on my lot in order to get the Grim Reaper. But I will see what I can find out! 🙂
I completed the Plant Sim challenge, and there was never a way to get your sim to become a permannent plant sim. What it did was that it gave you the possibility travel through the magical tree, giving you a forbidden fruit.
Now, instead of eating it, you plant the forbidden fruit so that you can have a forbidden fruit tree in your garden. Then your sim could eat a fruit, become a Plant Sim for 5 days, eat another fruit, etc, for as long as you want. But you will always reverse after 5 days 🙂
But as long as you take care of the tree you'll have unlimited forbidden fruits 🙂
Hi @Floymin
Not sure if you like the idea of mods, but having noticed your question about a Permanent Plant Sim, it is available as a mod at Mod The Sims, called > PlantSim (Forever) no cooldown + Trait.
Mods and cc do need regular checking for updates and so on (especially for sims updates and new packs happen) but I use quite a lot and don't have many issues at all.
Hope this helps,
Sasha
