I want to ask him more questions but I think he's getting spammed! :lol:I wonder how many new harvestables there are in total?And if the have different qualities like in TS2. Perfect, good, etc.

You're welcome! Grant has his sim gardening now. He said we can get seeds through the mail!https://twitter.com/SimGuruGrant/status/481145771815731200

You'd still get cats, dogs, horses and minor pets because you do get them on farms. Only we'd get the cows and sheep and chickens and llamas! :lol: Then we could get crafty skills and country pet shows and stuff. :D Hay rides!You're welcome snowpatrolchlo :DZerbu, yes, I love the Uni life herbs!!! I'm curious about the flowers too. I've always wanted flower that actually grow. I'm wondering if they can be used in food like lavender and camomile? Or if they're for decoration? If we can make perfume and herbal remedies I'll be so happy!Simasaurus09 (love your name so much) I'm hoping we can be the gardener and hire the gardener! And if we switch households and hire a gardener, it'll be the one we designated. :mrgreen:

I'm excited about herbs! I hope they work like the ones in The Sims 3 University Life because those improved not only the Gardening system but also the cooking one. :D

Also, I wonder how growing flowers will work, since I don't recall we've ever had that before. :mrgreen:

I wonder if we are getting a gardener to hire in TS4. I know TS1 had one, not sure about TS2, TS3 had plenty of things to help make gardening easier but no gardener to hire over the phone like you can with a maid.

This is such great news.

And it's been confirmed that there's Mendelian and LaMarckian genetics in plants in TS4.

Mendelian genetics would mean cross-pollinating plants and potentially getting different offspring, which would be cool.

LaMarckian genetics would mean that you can change an adult plant in some way and its offspring would retain the changes, which sounds really interesting!

Can't wait to see how it all works. It's going to be so fun. I hope there are lots of things to do with harvestables, too!

Thanks so much for the info...gardening is one of my favorites too. And now our sims can also grow flowers too, in the words of Cinderellimouse, *happy dance* :D
