How to get soy beans?!

Hi all!

I feel like i'm asking a dumb question but i'm really struggling to get soy beans. I read the description of the plants and they say you should be able to harvest wax and soy beans.. But, the soy plants near me only harvested wax, which I can't plant!

I kept checking every few days and nearly 2 in game weeks went by and it just kept harvesting wax... And now the plants have disappeared?

Can someone let me know what on earth i'm doing wrong?! I'm so confused.

    Got them the first (but not second) time I bought seeds for the vertical planters, but maybe the chance is higher to get them there?


    Thank you!! I'll try that :smile:

    Don't forget to collect the soy wax. You can do that every 24 sim hours.
  • I feel very unlucky - or terribly prepared - I started my Eco testing in Winter, and there has now been a full week of snow blizzards in Evergreen Harbor. Nothing can be tested outdoors, and even visiting other lots is a fight against weather... No soy plants - or other gardening, to deal with either. Next pack I will make sure my game is facing Spring :)
  • I have a question about soybeans, or rather the vertical planters, or maybe gardening in general. I purchased one of each of the three seed packet options from the vertical planter and tried to plant what I got, but all (soybeans, grapes, sage) but parsley said that they failed to germinate. All my Sims plant things (usually casually, though a couple have been part of their careers) and I've never seen that error before.

    It says something about needing more space, but why would Vertical Planter Seed Packets give you things that can't be planted in them? Am I being dumb?

    I did not get that note, and I planted several spices from those packs. Could it be the position of the planter object itself? Maybe there is too little space around it? I'd try placing it more open, it could be a decor on the wall stopping the seed from germinate, perhaps?
