Spliced plants are awful now.

Check out Carl's website - He actually made mod just for this issue. He discovered that the way the tuning had been set up there was something like a 1 in 200 chance to spawn rares (don't know if it's been changed in the latest patch). That's too low!!! His mod changes it to equal chances for spliced plants. Check out "Spliced Plant Rare Spawn 'Bug Fix' Mod" at: https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/mods/

Yeah, it pretty much reverts the changes made to the spawning chances. I use it but downloaded it long ago and forget where exactly it was to link it.

I played a gardener sim all the way through Young Adult to Adult and she just grew into an elder. In that time I had 3 spliced plants that should have given me Dragonfruit, 1 for Parsley, and 1 for Bird of Paradise. In her entire lifespan I got 1 or 2 Parsley. My gardener sim couldn't even grow her own cowplant, I had to fish for one! And she did flower arranging and I could never do any Bird of Paradise arrangements. I checked all 5 plants every sim day and there was never a single Dragonfruit or BoP. I completely understand not wanting to spawn like 5 of them every day but this is ridiculous.

If you want dragonfruit, plant 20 strawberry bushes and 20 snapdragon, just water them, take cutting from snapdragons and graft to berry bushes. with 20 plants grafted you will get at least 1 dragonfruit every 7 sims days, but all you need is 1. Plant the first harvest from that and now you have 10 dragonfruit plants. Graft just 1 cutting to any perfect plant you have and now you have a money tree. 5 perfect dragonfruit plants provides roughly 65K simolians every day.
I made that mistake before. Planted 18 planters full and with marketable and super sell I was getting more than a half of a million simolians per day... It's game breaking. I had to just wipe my save and start over.

I shouldn't have to play a long lifespan to accomplish something that is part of the "Freelance Botanist" (growing a cowplant). I'm not saying they shouldn't be rare, but for this one sim the success rate was near 0 minus 1 measly parsley harvest. And I don't have the energy to try to replicate this with a whole other sim lifespan.

Just fish for the berry, and boom cow plant.
