@PenguinFoop The buff says 5 days, but I think it can end sooner if you don't maintain it - like if you keep them inside for a while I think their needs will lower and then they will transform back into their usual self. I haven't really played with plantsims extensively, so I can't remember if it lasts longer than 5 days if you take really good care of them in this form or if it will just end after 5 days no matter what you do

Oh so if they don't get that extra cup of water and the sun, they don't die; they just revert back to normal?

That's a relief! Thanks for the help!

@Oldeseadogge well the stump is still a buyable thing so hopefully the plan is to do so at some point. I don't know anything about it though so it must have been before I bought the game. I didn't get it until November 2019 so I missed it.

Hopefully they'll bring them back!

With the stump in buy catalog and able to get the special seeds from the Rare Seed packs (are those only available in Seasons though?) I guess they never really left. There was also a Growfruit challenge that offered as prizes special planter pots (you can get those in buy catalog with the cheat that unlocks all the locked items like career rewards), but you can still buy the Growfruit at the Ranger Station in Granite Falls if you have Outdoor Retreat installed.

One of my kids found Growfruit in Patchy's pocket too. So that was a pleasant surprise. Oh and my bees gifted me with a death flower!!!

But yeah I guess the magic beans never left. I just have to figure out how to find them. So far it's only been in Patchy's pocket. I've only played for a year but this is the first bean I found. None of my collectors or anglers have ever found any. And the one I found after all of this time is a "common" one. And if it's a "common" I have no idea how I will ever find a "rare!"

My questions would be;

Do they need houses?

Do they die if they don't get enough water and sunlight? The permanent ones that is since the those questions were answered about the temporary ones on here.

If they didn't need a house, did they sleep outside on the ground?

While laying down to sleep, did they sprout roots to absorb the nutrients from the ground?

What did they do for fun?

How did they work since they needed sunlight?

Did they make their living by ripping the children of their plant cousins from their branches and sell them in some barbaric planticide practice?

Did they have to wait until a rainstorm to take a shower?


Because if those answers are all like they suggest, that would be awesome and I want that too!!!

Woohoo! erm, no hoorah! Raylan just checked Patchy again and got the Uncomfortable Magic Bean!!!! Four sims in this household check patchy almost every couple of hours and both times that beans were found it was by Raylan. I love that little guy!!! I hope his luck holds out when he gets older!

Woot! So Kenzie is in competition with her brother Raylan now! She just found her first magic bean! And it's flirty!

So now the question, does it matter in what pattern I plant them? Like if I plant them one way, one tree will grow but if I plant them another way, a different tree will grow?

I believe you can find people who have put them on the gallery as well.

I got all my beans by buying rare seed packets, and it took a long time and a lot of money. I didn't want to do it again, so I put the tree on two of my lots. They're both on the gallery.
