[Spoilers!] The study of the Source of Infection

Question

If you haven't reached the deepest part of the secret lab or don't want to be spoiled, please leave this discussion.Spoiler (Highlight to read)I played around with the Mother Plant and made some discoveries. Here's all I know about the Mother Plant. The Mother Plant is located in the deepest part of the secret lab, but can be bought if you search for debug object in build mode while bb.showhiddenobjects cheat is active. Once discovered, the lightning can strike near the secret lab. There will be many posessed sims in the streets and the skies are purple/pink. When sims first interact with the Mother Plant, the relationship between them is in maximum red. Your sim can attempt to fight her alone, but it will result in sim losing the fight and getting a dazed moodlet for two hours. It will also add a note that sim must find other sims to fight with them and telling that your sim must make some vaccine. If your sim has that dazed moodlet, the Attempt to Fight interaction will be changed into Attempt to Fight Again. This will result in sim's death. The ghost's needs won't decay (just like posessed sims'). When sims fight in team, they can use mega sprays and vaccines they have to make extra damage to the mother plant. If the sims lose the fight, they won't die. The game just tells that you should make extra vaccines to make the fight easier. Your sim will get a dazed moodlet that will enable the deadly Attempt to Fight Again interacton, but losing in team fight won't result in death. If your sims win the fight, they can revive the mother plant with one bizarre fruit. Reviving the Mother Plant will increase the relationship with her, but won't bring posessed sims back. To do that, your sim has the Request Weirdness interaction, which can be used to make the StrangerVille weird (when you first go into the world), moderately weird (when the first lab door is opened) and maximum weird (when the Mother Plant is first discovered). After that sims can request normality (no posessed sims, just like after the fight). Infected sims cannot fight with the Mother Plant. Sims can attempt to communicate with the Mother Plant. This will increase the relationship with her. When sim isn't posessed, the Mother Plant will first scream at the sim. If the sim is infected, they'll become posessed before they talk with the Mother Plant (which goes away as soon as sim ends the communication). Once sim has cleared out all the red relationship with the Mother Plant, they can request a bizarre fruit from her. Once sim becomes friends with the mother plant, sim can request gifts from her. This can be done once per day There are four gifts sims can request from her: Career success, Fortune, Extended life, and energy. Career success will help your sim get promotions, fortune will give your sim some money, extended life will reset the aging bar, and energy will fill up your sim's energy need.Wanted to share this just because of the "Request Gifts" interaction.I played around with the Mother Plant and made some discoveries.

EgonVM, Good summary.  I think it is well worth completing the story-line for the potential rewards.

Spoiler (Highlight to read)If you have Get Famous installed, the Mother Plant alternates between a proper celebrity, and a world-famous celebrity. If you have Get Famous installed, the Mother Plant alternates between a proper celebrity, and a world-famous celebrity.

I can say that he was able to build a full green bar very quickly while possessed, much faster than the non-infected sim that also stated full red/never taunted plants. Spoiler (Highlight to read)Now he is hiding his possession and trips to communicate with the mother from his girlfriend (non-infected) who is in the military covert branch and is actively trying to solve the mystery. He has been using the mothers "gifts" to gain career success and money for their family. He does not want the mother to be defeated and he knows that the time is coming when his girlfriend will ask for his help in defeating the mother and the secret source of their family money and success will be gone.
