How often do you play with PlantSims?

I don't play with supernaturals.

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.

Ohh... if you go about it this way. Do they stay permanent plantsim or is it still the three-day-stint. It is the temporal aspect that drives me away mainly. I play rotational and it is irritating to run into your occult sim who has turned muggle again.

I don't know I never played them in rotation, but I just now went through getting the stump.. the beans.. making the tree and getting the fruit. I'll be finding out soon since I'm playing in a rotational save now. I thought it was 5 days though. I'll report back unless someone else knows for sure soon enough (and will also report back if I find out otherwise because I'm obstinate that way :D )

This is the way I did it and they turned back. I think it was 5 days.

Never heard of them, so never.

They are a life stage if you are lvl 10 gardening and collect all the beans and go into a tree and eat the fruit inside it or something like that. You become a plant sim for a sim work week and then your sim needs things like water and sun instead of food and sleep. If they don't get water they pass out until another sim comes and waters them lol

They are a base game life stage if you are lvl 10 gardening and collect all the beans and go into a tree or something like that.

Ah, sounds like a lot of hassle to play a sim who sounds like more work than fun. xD Thanks for the info. ^^

Yw :). Lol oh and You can cheat to become one without the steps haha. And if you don't cheat once the tree is grown i believe any sim can use it or you can give them the fruit or whatever. You only need to do all the steps once, not per sim.

And i should have said 5 days instead of work week as you can use it weekends too haha

Never tried them. Not saying that I never will, but no specific plans of doing so at the moment. My sims often garden, but I don't play occults - plantsims might be "occult light", but still takes away from realism. Might test them in a separate save.

I forgot they were even a thing in this game...
