Sage plant - what can I use it for?

I did search, but got tons of Magic related threads. I do not have the ROM pack, but some of my sims grow Sage and I wonder if it can be used for something that I missed?

It's not used for any receipts, tight? And not in flower arrangement, right? Can we only sell it, or use it to fertilize?

  • I think sage grows in all seasons, if you have seasons, so you can use it as a "cheat" to grow plants out of season by grafting them to the sage. (I just build a greenhouse)

    You can also use it as a base for some things via grafting, like parsley (which is also pretty easy to find...)

    I think it's also sometimes used in some of the herbal remedies from Outdoor retreat.

    Ah, I forgot about those herbal remedies, nver really explored them although I always intended to...

    Grafting on sage, will it make the grafted plant than be harvestable in all Sage's seasons?

    Sage is base game - it grows wild in Oasis Springs. I don't know what recipe if any calls for it, but it's in all my gardens because it's a common plant. The only plants unique to Alchemy are Valerian and Mandrake.

    I generally sell it, but you can try it as fertilizer.


    I have a silly rule in my game that sims need Farm Right n order to sell by drag and drop. Selling bit by bit from a table is too time consuming, so nobody actually grow it unless they have those Rights already. Another way to sell is to first craft something based on the produce, that's actually why I would like to know if Sage can be used for something I might have missed.
  • I think it can be used in recipes that "require" any herb - but it may just be recipes from the baking skill.

    Edit: I checked Carl's guide and it turns out gourmet cooking is the skill that you need for recipes you can use sage in. As well as a couple of recipes from the baking skill.

    Thanks for that info! Then it's not totally wasted to store it in the fridge :)
