Plantsim Lives

I absolutely love PlantSims! Since TS2 they have been one of my favorite life states. Sadly in TS4 they were added as a temporary life state, which was a big letdown. Most people don't even know about them unless they played the game during the 2016 Spring Challenge. 

This mod is here to fix that and bring a more permanent PlantSim play style. 

How to Become a PlantSim (With this Mod)

With this mod, there are multiple ways to become a PlantSim depending on how you want to experience it. 

• "Plant-a-Sim" EA Scenario

The new EA scenario allows you to start/choose a household to start the "PlantSim Challenge". Once you start the scenario your sim will have a "Forbidden Fruit" in their inventory. Eat the fruit to become a PlantSim.

• Reward Store Trait

With 500 reward points, you can purchase the "PlantSim" reward store item. This will give your sim a "Forbidden Fruit" in their personal inventory. You can then eat it to become a PlantSim. 

• Mysterious Tree Adventure - Willow Creek

If you befriend the Mysterious Tree near the "Crick Cabana" lot in Willow Creek eventually it will open up a secret door for you to explore. If you successfully complete the adventure you will be asked to go to "Sylvan Glade", once you travel there your sim will be given a "Forbidden Fruit" in their personal inventory.

Difference between EA PlantSims & PlantSim Lives

• Be a PlantSim Forever

With PlantSim Lives, there is no longer a time limit on being a PlantSim. You will be a PlantSim forever unless you take the cure to turn your Sim back into a human.

• Use Any Hair! 

With PlantSim Lives you are able to use any hairstyle on your PlantSims. You are no longer limited to the short hairstyle EA forced PlantSims to have.

• Less Idle Animations

PlantSims have 2 idle animations they do. One during photosynthesis and one randomly where they grow these little leaves as pictured. With PlantSim Lives I have reduced how frequently this happens. So PlantSims will only do these idle animations occasionally instead of pretty much every 5 sim minutes.

Custom PlantSim Interactions

With this mod, you will find new interactions for PlantSims and for other sims to use with PlantSims. More interactions will be added over time. 

• Friendly | Complain About Aphids - A PlantSim when sad/stressed/uncomfortable will get this new interaction. 
• Friendly | Complement Foliage - Any sim can complement a PlantSim. 
• Friendly | Discuss Gardening Tips - PlantSims can talk about gardening tips with other PlantSims.
• Friendly | Enthuse About PlantSims - Any sim can enthuse about PlantSims to a PlantSim.
• Friendly | Talk About Nature - Any PlantSim can talk to any other sim about nature. 
• Funny | Joke About Devils Lettuce - Any PlantSim can tell a joke to another sim.
• Romantic | Complement Aroma - Any PlantSim can complement another PlantSim.
• Self Interaction | Go on a Nature Walk - Any PlantSim can click on themselves to go on a nature walk. 

I also recommend these awesome interactions by Triplis "PlantSim Interactions Mod". These do work with this mod! :)

Custom PlantSim Food/Drinks

PlantSims generally do not eat. They need sunlight to fill their hunger motive. But on cloudy days there is no sun and your PlantSim could starve! So I have added the following items that your PlantSim can eat/drink to satisfy their need for sunlight.

These items can be found on any EA fridge/stove in the new "PlantSim" menu. If you use my Srsly's Complete Cooking Overhaul mod then this menu will be under the "Make Custom" > "Occult" menu.

• Liquid Sunshine - A canned drink. Requires no skill level. Will fill "Hunger" motive.

• Bottle of Water - A bottled drink of water, that is refillable. Will fill "Water" motive.

• Bowl of Sunshine - A soup-like food, comes in single (1), family (4), and party (8) serving sizes. Requires level 7 Homestyle skill. Will fill "Hunger" motive.

Plant Tattoos - CAS

You will find 2 new tattoos in CAS, these are unisex. One is a remake of The Sims 2 PlantSim tattoo that covers the entire body, the other is a small flower located at the back of the neck. Each tattoo comes in multiple opacities.

How to Stop Being a PlantSim

If you no longer wish to be a PlantSim then you can spend 500 reward store points to buy the "Plantophic-C" PlantSim cure. Once you buy the reward item it will be found in your sims personal inventory. Once they drink it they will become human again.
