Well, for starters, that's incredibly boring.
You just click a couple of menus, and then bam, you've got Forbidden Fruit. There's no sense of accomplishment, there's no challenge, it's just handed to you.
Improved PlantSims would involve having to actually play the game. Raise a skill, befriend an NPC, discover a hidden lot, find a Forbidden Fruit tree out in the world.
Additionally, the PlantSims themselves don't have any unique gameplay. Oh, they need hydration and they gain hunger by being out in the sun, but what actually makes them interesting? Can you grow your own PlantSim babies in the ground? Can you accelerate plant growth? What about unique looks? The green hair is.......... fine........... I guess.......... but where's the PlantSim clothes? In past games they wore leaves and petals, where's THAT?
