How often do you play with PlantSims?

My own answer is that I only did once briefly, but I'd like to explore them more at some point. I'm mainly a realism style player which is why I haven't, but they were pretty fun the one time I did.

They just don't appeal to me at all, but I normally do like to play occult sims. I didn't like them in other Sims games, either.

Interesting that I like them when I don't like to play occult at all, and you DO like to play occults but aren't interested hahaha! Wonder what it is about them that that would be lol!

They don't have any interesting features on TS4.

Same. I just don't like the way they look.

I played with them on release around the challenge time.. then later I tried a story around one. You use to have to cheat for awhile to do it.. and that basically stopped me from trying them out again. Now you can become a plantsim if you jump through a few hoops .. have a sim reach level ten gardening to buy the rare seeds and buy the stump, grow the magic tree.. then proceed. I might try it again soon, the addition of spellcasters has made me way more interested in playing out a fantasy world now.
They could use a revamp or some more magical way to start out that's not wholly dependent on knowing how to do it.

I played with them in the Sims 2 and they weren't terribly interesting to me. There was not much of a challenge, and I didn't really get the point of them. In the Sims 3 they had a little more, but they just didn't blend into what I was doing. And I agree with @simgirl1010 in that I don't like the way they look, either.

For those not interested...
If there was an update to them (their look/some more unique interactions) would you become interested? Or are you not interested in this particular kind of life state at all? Just curious.

I downloaded custom skins and hair to make plant sims look more like their TS2 counterparts, but don't actually use them all that much because there's nothing special about them. One of my StrangerVille families consists only of plant sims, and I made up a story about them being the Mother's elite minions, but I have yet to actually play with them. Does anyone else have problems with plant sims randomly changing their hair styles, by the way? Because that's yet another reason I don't use them a lot.

I haven't played them in a long time.. so if this has changed I'd like to know but I was put off by the one hairstyle they had.. and actually the green skin could be a more attractive green or have some variation. I don't use cc or mods (not opposed just to lazy to update and unwilling to go down that rabbithole). More interactions would be nice for sure and something that makes all this seem more .. magical somehow? I wish I had a better suggestion for doing this.
