Are greenhouses real?

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.

    We already have flower pots in the game so that doesn't need to be added. I'm guessing greenhouses will just be buildings you build with the new roofs which is okay with me. I don't see EA adding more than just some decor items for them though.


    I know we have pots :) what about those things in the greenhouse, they do look like they might be a type of flower pot.

    You could get very creative and make a split level greenhouse. Maybe a painting studio at the foundation height, and removing the floor on the latter half the room to plant directly on the ground.


    I have thought about that, the only thing I've never liked about split levels in sims is you can't have windows in foundation and you'll have to make it fairly big or have that 1 square rim around everything. That's a personal issue, of course.

    This is from the trailer, it does appear to be on a foundation. I hope there’s other options for planters that maybe hold more in them, or my gardener is going to be broke buying that many.


    Ahh yes, I see it now. I wish we could have separate foundation because my current build is on a foundation but I'd love to plant in the ground.

    That would be nice to have planters that can hold more. Until recently I wasn't aware we could plants straight in the ground XD

    I never thought of that. Do let me know if it works

    Did you try resizing the seed?


    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...


    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.


    I've only resized the plants that we don't grow, like the trees from JA

    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.


    Maybe their working on it. They said at first, glass roofs were too hard, but here they are.


    I never heard that. I'd love that, it's one of my few problems with sims 4 buildmode.
