Can’t get perfect bizarre fruit. By design or a bug?

Yeah, well appearently children are immune to the effects of the fruit so you can feed the children all the biazair fruit you want. I wish you could infect sims by cooking it in some unknow food, but that is just me I love adding a little casos in my game play. Also another thing when opening the biazair fruit it does release a cloud of tiny pink sporns so if you arre harvesting more than one its possible they will infect you temperarly, but not permentantly. Also you can harvest biazair fruit a lot faster if you live in Strangervillie because the story enhances its abilities.

So, maybe I just need to be more patient. I'll get my fruit...someday. It's the last one I need for my perfect harvestables collection (just finished all seven emotion berries).

I’ve never got any bizarre fruits besides nurturing them (but I planted them using MOO underground so that might be why it’s acting weird).

We've made it to magnificent, but still no fruit. I moved them outside (they were in the greenhouse) to see if that would help. I also can't graft to or from them.

I finally used the shift-click cheat to get my plant to blossom, but the fruit is, as the OP experienced, 'normal' quality, even though the plant is 'perfect'. My Sims are currently living in a temporary camp in Strangerville. I planted a perfect growfruit, so I'm hoping that I can get a splice to graft to the bizarre fruit and get my perfect produce.

(I also have the option to 'nurture' my bizarre fruit plant - what does this do? Should my Sim be wearing a hazmat suit when dealing with this plant?)

I'm trying to grow a perfect garden with every plant as well and was wondering why my Bizarre fruit wouldn't grow. However, it's evolved to Magnificent. I've read on here in this thread and others that you can take a cutting and splice to another plant to get perfect fruit. But... how? I don't have the option to take a cutting.

It sounds like I need to progress the StrangerVille story up to the bloom when the lab door is opened with someone so the Bizarre fruit plants actually grow and THEN take a cutting, splice it on another perfect plant IN StrangerVille and then wait for a perfect Bizarre fruit to appear?

Or will Bizarre fruit actually grow from a cutting spliced on to another plant regardless of where it is grown? I'm very confused... o.O

The option to 'nurture' is how you get the plant to produce a Bizarre fruit from it. I know that much from playing through the story. I wouldn't worry about wearing a Hazmat suit when doing it either. My Sim never got infected while nurturing to get Bizarre fruit. It does send out a cloud of spores when you nurture though. So, if you're worried, it wouldn't hurt to wear one anyway, just in case. :)

huh, i swore sims could take cuttings from the starter version of the bizarre plant, but just checked and that doesn't seem to be the case

just checked that with my sim who already has several cuttings from wild plants in a slightly glitched instance of strangerville. shady acres has the tiny pods, which can't have cuttings taken, the downtown area has the second-stage plants that can be nurtured and cuttings can be taken from those

and yeah, what kara said about nurturing. it has the plant grow into the third-stage version, which lets your sim harvest a single fruit from it. each plant can only be nurtured once every 24 hours, and that's a set 24 hour period, not 24 hours from last time it was nurtured. so, if you nurture/harvest just before whatever the reset time is (i want to say it's the 5 am like for regular harvesting, but don't recall), you can basically do it twice in a row

Until I used the shift-click cheat, I didn't even have the option to nurture - I just had 'talk' and 'research' and occasionally 'fertilise'. I still wasn't able to graft to the bizarre plant, just take cuttings, but I grew a growfruit tree, and once it got big enough to have the 'graft' option, I grafted my cutting from the bizarre plant to the growfruit. Waited another couple of days for the growfruit to grow up again and voila! Four perfect bizarre fruit on my growfruit tree.

I have completed my perfect plant collection - aside from the vampire and pets plants (since I don't have those packs), I now have perfect specimens from every plant.

Shared my spliced plant on gallery.

Congratulations @invisiblgirl! When you grafted to your growfruit tree, were you in StrangerVille? I still am wondering if I need to be in StrangerVille when grafting or if I can just get the cutting, take it back home and graft it to something in my home garden.

You don’t need to. I did it in Forgotten Hollow.
