Okay, I'm aware that plantsims were in the game before...Spoiler
I have been trying to get plantsims since I started playing with Sims 2 in spring 2020. Two of my Sims 2 characters, in separate households, spent their entire lives from teen through elder keeping large gardens and spraying for bugs at every opportunity. No plantsims. In Sims 4, the founder of my longest legacy so far spent her whole life AND her ghost life over the course of the whole legacy searching Patchy's pockets every day and ordering lots of rare plant seed packets. She had I think 3 magic beans by the time I wrapped up that save after 5 generations. So, the new scenario makes plantsims available to me for the first time <3
A good gameplay way to do it is to put the stump on a community lot somewhere (I like to place it in the Sylvan Glade, but you could place it anywhere more hidden away). Sims from around your rotation or successive generations can add the beans as they find them. Once the beans are found and the tree is grown you can have the sim(s) who added them turn into PlantSims and maybe have a gameplay rule for who gets to turn in the future.
I do something similar with the wishing well. It doesn't fit many places, but it does fit at the Ruins in Windenburg. I like to place it there and my sims only get a wish if they are invited there and attend.
