Disappointment with the Gardening Career

You’re not alone. I don’t really care about the career rewards but yes, seeing you point them out does highlight how disappointing they are. I’m disappointed with the career as a whole. My sim is on the botany path and there is literally nothing unique or interesting about it. It’s literally the exact same as it would be if my sim just stayed home and gardened to make money. Except now there’s a phone ringing in the morning asking if she wants to go to work or work from home. I also noticed earlier it seems that the pay when working from home is broken. It is really disappointing.

Yeah, that's actually true. Not sure if it's the same with anybody else, but working from home in the gardening career only earns my sim 10$ after a successfully completed day of work, which really sucks, lol.

I know that. First you get new seeds, planters and a tree decal. Then if you choose flower arranger branch, you get a lot of flowers that are already in the build mode and a bonsai bush so your sim can increase their flower arranging skill.
However, the botanist branch's rewards are not avalible in build mode at all. First, your sim will get a cowplant berry so they can grow a cowplant, and then on they'll get microscopic prints as rewards. While this does make obtaining the cowplant berry easier without cheats, obtaining those microscopic prints can be done with any microscope.

Like I mentioned in my post, I personally never played through the botany career but at the same time, the prints that you get are common until the final career reward, which is uncommon. I still feel like it's kind of a lackluster reward since, as before, it's found in the game already. If you've been using the microscope they gave you as an earlier reward within your family, you might already have those prints, so I don't know. :(
