Really.. Temporary plantsims?

Who's idea was this? As an occult lover this makes me so mad. Why do we get temporary plantsims? I get we can still make them after the event, but even then they only stay plant sims 5 days and they are literally just green sims who need water and sun.

The groundwork is already laid out, Im FINE with the way they look, although id rather have leafy textures. Please just make them a fully fleshed out life style. Plant sims were always one of the most basic life states.

All we need are a couple of hairs and clothes designed specifically for plant sims, these cas items will be made of leaves etc. Give us the option to change our hair style, I dont care if its always green but I want other hair styles.

Option to make in cas

Genetics please! Make it a permanent life state unless you cure it. The ways to become a plant sim are the fruit, spraying for insects too much or evolving tons of plants, or the icecream if you have cool kitchen. Make the life state pass onto children!

I'm fine with not being able to get pregnant like sims 3. Give us the ability to reproduce asexually and spawn a toddler where we stand. (in sims 2 plant sims started as toddlers and then skipped child and teen ages straight to adults) either one works

Give us a couple of unique powers like a poison kiss that knocks someone out, give us a pollen spray where we blow pollen into another sims face and change their mood, ability to absorb puddles and turn into a plant to sleep.

Of course some unique social interactions like "discuss plants" "discuss eco friendly alternatives" "compliment leaves" etc.

The plant sim is a super basic life state, come on :(

    You could still not play them, even if it was permanent.

    Who says they won't? It's not like a game like this is ever in a final state.

    Can you make it so the plantsim is a permanent thing? I understand making it genetic is probably too much, but it should be possible to make it not wear off. We don't need a cure as it's currently set up to where dying of hunger makes you human.

    Isn't there an absorb puddle animation you can use for ghosts that die in a sauna?

    Also you could use the blow kiss animation.

    I dont know how complicated adding new socials with re used animations is, but things like compliment leaves etc would be great.

    You're my hero!

    Looks like someone already made a thing to make it permanent from the post above (I haven't tested it, but assuming it works).

    I just looked into absorb puddle. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the animation and VFX for absorb puddle that come from steam death ghost are linked to the GP they come from and I don't know how to extract them in such a way to make them accessible for base game, so it has to be something else (I don't want to make it dependent on having a particular GP). Right now, I have it where they go over to the puddle, kneel down, absorb, and glow for a time like they do with photosynthesis. I'm not 100% happy with how absorby it looks, but it was the best I could think of at the time with the kind of animations base game can do.

    I worked on the kiss more today and got it working with the hand kissing animation. Blow kiss might actually make more sense for a plant sim though... like blowing weird planty things through the air. Wouldn't be at all difficult for me to change.

    Adding stuff like compliment leaves... just added that, discuss leaves, and discuss eco-friendly alternatives. Just need to differentiate which animations they use a little, so they aren't all identical to the point of it being painfully obvious and silly.


    Maybe you could 2 flavors, one that requires the GP for those who have it? Even if you can't Ily still.

    Id also guess your mod would conflict with theirs, so perm plant sims would be nice still.

    Truth.

    But perhaps I do not wish to see these sickly looking, green glowing folk working the streets :wink:


    I'm both equally disgusted that this isn't a true Supernatural (permanent) for players that love them, however it's equally as lame as it is only a temporary, infuriating challenge that pollutes the streets with them

    I've given plenty of suggestions on these forums over the years, believe me.

    What you call "moaning" is expressing what I think of the new plant sims, and I think they are dissapointing, compared to previous versions. I've been playing Sims since 2002, and this is the only version of the game that is a total let down.


    And again I ask what can they do to improve it? Cause so far I haven't seen a single suggestion.


    I've already stated what the sims were like in previous games, we got more with them. We should be getting more with these new plant sims as well. And giving more IS my suggestion to them. They are the creators, not me, it's their job to think of what adding more to them is, based on the creative things they added to the past games.
