I know we can build them and all that but like somebody pointed out the windows seem to already be in game. What I am wondering is do we get any special greenhouse objects. My memory for sims 2 isn't great but I remember there were special greenhouse lights. The sims 3 store greenhouse had sprinklers and a seed system. So I guess what I am wondering will it effectively be an appearance thing where it would have no difference if I planted my plants in the living room. Another thing is, foundations. The greenhouse will look awesome if you don't have foundations and can plant directly in the ground but with foundations you'll need pots. I don't think we've heard much about it so I'm just curious. I am also wondering if there will be light and shadows or will it act like a normal roof.

I also wonder if having a glass roof will have an effect on our sims with the sun and heat during the Summer.

It's ridiculous that they haven't changed that yet, but you do bring a very interesting question and one that must be brought attention for

TS3 Store's Greenhouse had sprinklers on the ceiling and something that sprayed fertilizer on the plants,veggies and fruits. I hope this Greenhouse will have that. I think it's a real greenhouse but the glass roofs can be used on any building of venue type.

I always use it over kitchens. It really adds a nice touch with the natural lighting. So hopefully these glass roofs will do the same.Good point about the foundation though.I do too. I actually have a jungle build where most of the roof is that. I was wondering because those are objects an the glass roof is an actual roof and roofs come with "ceiling tiles".I'm hoping they do, I love glass roofs XD

No, I didn't think about that.

I don't know if you can (probably not) but it would be cool if you could. A giant seed gives you a giant tree which gives you giant fruit. :D

Now I have to put the Twitch Doctor Who marathon on hold and go try this...

I have never seen a greenhouse with a bunch of stairs. That would bug me in my game.

That's how I feel too but I don't want to only have flat houses either. Wish they'd change how foundations work.

I tried to resize the seeds but you can't plant them. Whether you upsize or downsize them, when you try to plant them either in the ground or in the planter they automatically go back into your inventory. Oh well, it was a good idea.

Making a jungle with giant vegetable and fruit plants might be kinda cool, in a Land of the Giants sort of way. I'm going to have to try this too.

I hope that works because that will look so awesome XD

Come to think of it, I've never tried to resize a plant. Has anyone else? A giant cowplant would be cool, gobbling up groups of sims walking past your house.

Giant cowplants indeed work!! I do it all the time. The shrunken ones are adorable too.

Just tried resizing the plants and it does work, but the fruit and veggies don't resize with it. If you resize a tree, the fruit is left floating in the air below the leaves. If you resize the other plants, the dirt around the plant increases too and it looks like the fruit is sticking out of the ground. You can still harvest, water, fertilize, etc., but it doesn't look realistic.

I have enlarged garden plants and they seem ok. My sim could not interact with the cow plant though but it sure looked neat. I resized it because I was afraid it would die.

That's a good question.
