[edit] Mushrooms & Fungus

The Supernatural expansion pack added a new type of edible plant that functions just like the previously released plants, with a slightly different growth cycle. For all of you who love mushrooms, now your Sims can grow their own.

Challenge Description
Mushroom Collector Find 7 unique mushrooms, and the quality of mushrooms grown will increase.


[edit] Inedible Plants

These plants can be grown like the ones above but are not edible. They are used as ingredients for the Alchemy skill.

* Value: Numbers given above are the base values for Normal quality produce. For higher quality produce, multipliers are as follows:

  • Normal: 100%
  • Nice: 110%
  • Very Nice: 150%
  • Great: 200%
  • Excellent: 250%
  • Outstanding: 300%
  • Perfect: 400%

Produce sold to the grocery store sells for 10% higher than selling it through your inventory.

** Experience: Numbers given are [experience for planting/experience for harvesting].

*** Max Produce: This is the maximum amount of produce that a plant will bear before it is barren.

[edit] Quality

Each plant (and its produce) has varying levels of quality.

[edit] Degrees of Quality

These are listed in order of worst quality to best quality.

  • Horrifying
  • Putrid
  • Foul
  • Bad
  • Normal
  • Nice
  • Very Nice
  • Great
  • Excellent
  • Outstanding
  • Perfect

The quality of the plants that your sims plant will determine the quality of the food (harvestable) that it produces. A Very Nice Apple Tree will produce Very Nice Apples.

If your sim has purchased the "Super Green Thumb" Lifetime Reward, whatever your sim plants will have one level of quality higher than the seed or fruit they planted.

[edit] Perfect Produce

Always plant the highest quality seeds or produce that you have available. Care well for your plants to ensure a higher quality harvest. Once you've harvested the produce, dispose of the harvested plant, and replant with the higher-quality seeds/produce from the harvest. Repeat until you have perfect plants (and thus perfect produce).


[edit] Fertilizer

Plants can be fertilized to speed their growth. Fertilizer has no effect on harvestable quality.

Fertilizer value below means how much it speeds the growth. This is likely not a multiplier - exact details still need to be sorted out. Days is the number of days the fertilizer is good for.

In addition to using various plants for fertilizer the Pets expansion pack added two new types of fertilizer: Horse Fertilizer and Unicorn Fertilizer. These fertilizers are obtained from cleaning the horse box out when either a Horse or Unicorn have used it to satisfy their bladder motive.

Value Days Fertilizer Item
25 6 Lifefruit
25 4 Angelfish, Sea Sludge (LN)
25 3 Vampire Fish, Mummy Fish (WA), Dragon Fish (WA)
20 4 Shark, Plasma Fruit (LN)
20 3 Lobster
15 6 Garlic
15 4 Steak, Bell Pepper, Flame Fruit, Blowfish, Piranha, Red Herring, Siamese catfish, Tragic Clownfish, Cherries (WA)
15 3 Meloire Grapes (WA), Renoit Grapes (WA), Sewer Trilobite (LN), Unicorn Fertilizer** (Pets)
12 3 Black Goldfish, Salmon, Swordfish
12 5 Pomelo (WA)
10 5 Watermelon
10 4 Jellyfish, Minnow
10 3 Tuna, Cherimola Blan Grapes (WA), Cranerlet Nuala Grapes (WA), Horse Fertilizer (Pets)
8 3 Rainbow Trout, Plum (WA)
7 3 Pomegranate (WA)
5 6 Lime, Onion
5 5 Potato
5 4 Burger Patty, Cheese, Egg, Apple, Lettuce, Tomato
5 3 Grapes, Alley Catfish, Anchovy, Goldfish, Avornalino Grapes (WA), Gralladina Fran Grapes (WA), Crocodile (WA), Crawfish (WA), Frog (WA), Snails (WA), Tancho Koi (WA), Ochiba Koi (WA), Kawarimono Koi (WA), Doitsu Koi (WA), Kissing Gourami (LN)
-200 4 Deathfish


**Be advised people have reported using Unicorn Fertilizer on your plants can cause the plant to transform into a life fruit plant. Can anyone confirm this?


Fertilizer value also has a multiplier, based on the above numbers. So a Perfect quality Life Fruit would give a fertilizer value of 50 (25 base value x 2.0 perfect quality multiplier).

Quality Multiplier
Horrifying 0.6
Putrid 0.7
Foul 0.8
Bad 0.9
Normal 1.0
Nice 1.1
Very Nice 1.2
Great 1.4
Excellent 1.6
Outstanding 1.8
Perfect 2


[edit] Helpful Tips

  • Good mood for gardeners: Upgrade your home stereo to reroute the speakers through the entire house. This lets your sims hear music no matter where they are on the lot, even when gardening. They'll get a +30 moodlet if it's playing their favorite style of music. You can also put a Flame Fruit in their inventory for an additional +5 moodlet.
  • Watering plants: Available in the Appliances section in Buy Mode, the "Schprinkler" can water a 5x5 plot of plants, eliminating the need to do so yourself. You can turn it on and off at a distance, and the sprinkler can be upgraded to water automatically.
  • Dead vs. Barren: The Green Thumb trait will allow sims to revive Dead plants. You have to seriously neglect plants before they die, so this is of limited usefulness except in the case of the Death Flower Plant, which can be revived to bear one more flower. Barren plants, though they look the same as dead plants, cannot be revived and can only be disposed or deleted.
  • Talk to Plant: The Talk to Plant interaction that you get for having the Green Thumb trait does not do anything for plant or produce quality and only raises the sim's social value. This makes it useful if you have a single sim gardening all the time with suffering social.
  • Master Farmer: Sims who have completed the Master Farmer Skill Challenge (harvested at least 650 produce items) will have any fertilizer they use last 2 days longer than normal.

[edit] Challenges

There are three different challenges for the gardening skill.

Challenge Description
Master Planter A Master Planter must plant 19 types of plant that can be planted in the game. Once you have mastered the varieties, you can reduce weed growth significantly on future plants.
Botanical Boss Botanical Bosses must harvest at least 75 perfect fruits and vegetables. The plants of Botanical Bosses almost never die from neglect.
Master Farmer Master Farmers have harvested at least 650 fruits and vegetables. The plants of Master Farmers remain watered and fertilized longer, meaning their gardens are more efficient.
