Hope you enjoy the video guys! 🌿🌱 There is nothing more satisfying than gardening in The Sims, so here's the history of it throughout all The Sims Games!! Make sure to get EveryFarm through my link: ggcont.me/3NRxZqD
There was a few packs the you missed.
1 back to the future pack: has grass rugs that you can plant in.
2 grandpa grover store pack has more plants, and a A tractor to harvest in water plants.
3 Bohemian garden pack from the store has more plants greenhouses and a plant called sunflower that gives the best fertilizer and a new sprinkler system and a way to identify unknown plants.
Please I NEED the song that plays in the back in your videos! It's such a trip, gives me a crazy feeling! PLEASE! THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Please do the Vanderburg family of hidden springs 🙏🏻
I once made a fairy in Sims 3 and made a huge farm with every single plant from debug. When he was done watering the last plants, the first ones already had to be watered again, he had a miserable life, contstanly caring for his farm.
That sounds like the next level of catching the carpool through a hedge maze.
😂
yepppp, maintaining a full garden in sims 3 is literally impossible, that’s why I’ve made a gardening robot from Into The Future for my family 😂
@@shr00mski smart, just does not fit in with my magic fairy household 😂
@@anton_7xg you won’t believe it, but I have him in my fairy magical household as well! Dad is a fairy, mom is a witch, two children are mixed, and the robot I got from making them visit the future lol
I enjoy having a small fruit and veggie garden in the sims. I have a "black thumb" in real life and kill every plant I touch, so a digital garden is the only one I'll ever successfully have
Basically me! I told my closest people that they should never gift me plants,because they d*e soon after. I am only managing to keep one cactus alive, it's outgrown the soil it came in and I haven't filled it since then. It's my miracle plant, although I love creating gardener Sims and have them care for their garden,lol.
@@teddsx1274 lol I'm jealous. I've killed several succulents and cacti. The longest-living one disappeared for 3 months when I moved, and when I found it, it was doing better than when I had lost it! And then it promptly died after a week back in my care. I've given up on plants at this point lol
@@ezrea9313I don't intend to sound rude at all, but do you research the plants you looked after? Individual plants have individual needs. I have dedicated UV lights for some plants, but complete shade for others. They're also very picky when it comes to water, I have orbeez/slow watering systems for some plants, barely water others, and have some plants just in water instead of soil. Cacti and succulents generally are also extremely picky and die of stress pretty easily. If you want something easy to keep, try geranium bushes, terrariums (I keep moss), ivy, or even crops. Garlic is pretty easy to keep, but so are citrus saplings. You can get packs of three saplings (lime, lemon, and orange) for about £20 online, and they're small enough to keep inside for at least a few years :)
I really like how in the sims 2 you can stock your fridge with produce and later sims will cook better meals with it. It's just so cozy. Don't mind tho if you stock with sweet fruit and cook something like mac'n'cheese...
The only time where I had seriously played with gardening was when I had a save with a ghost sim with the goal of becoming alive again through ambrosia. It was a fun save but I haven't invested into gardening since.
It’s so soothing to me! It can be pretty stressful if you make it a whole job but if it’s a hobby it’s the best! 🥰🌺🍀
Sounds like such a fun challenge/ gameplay idea!! 👻
I remember when I was little, I bought the dragon valley world on the sims 3 store just so I could use the green dragon for gardening. Hindsight 20/20 that was an egregious waste of my parent’s money but they didn’t know that
I get SO into gardening, I love the one lot trait where you can only cook with ingredients you have so then you're forced to budget for groceries or live off the land. Something about it is just oddly calming to me?
It's the final thing we needed for off-the-grid play. Actual homesteading.
Me too. I love this aspect of the game
Simple living lot trait
There's a mod for that for the sims 3 if you're interested. I enjoy that too, but prefer 3 to 4
One of my favorite things to do in Sims 2: Seasons with garden veggies and fruits is to use them with the juicing machine in the game! You can make all sorts of different juices that give different special effects to sims; it also fills their hunger without affecting their body/fitness, unlike eating food
pretty sure you can plant things straight on the ground in ts3 as well.
in the sims 3, did you gave seeds time to spawn? when you make new world its empty from all seeds, animals or gems, they appear in time
Playing sims 3 and decided to have my elderly sim take up gardening as a hobby. great idea and she loved it however the garden became too big. plants constantly needed to be watered and she barely had any time to sleep or eat. She was always tired and was constantly depressed after all of her friends left her because she didn't have the time to speak to them. she died while weeding a tomato plant.
I'm playing the Not So Berry challenge right now and I've got to focus on gardening, it's not so bad, especially when you have a fairy husband to help! 🤣
I'm playing that too. I just got to the yellow generation, but the Rose one was so hard for me. hooking up and breaking up was really hard, like I felt so bad for the other sim getting dumped lol. I have Woohoo Wellness mod so I could use the broken up trait to track that SOS. Some of em were like, "it's not that bad is it??? Can we just do a trial separation" And I'm like just like 😭😭 I'm sorry
@@Azmina_the_warlock I haven't gotten to the Rose generation yet, she's only a child. I'm already planning out who her future baby daddy is gonna be tho🤣might install Nraas traveller and move to bridgeport for the more edgy lifestyle I want for her
Edit: what are your sims name? Mine is a flower theme. So far its Flora and Zinnia 😊
@@cflo1606 that's cool! I'm not creative with the names, just went with Mint, Rose, Yellow, etc. and last name 'Berry' 😅
Good luck on your challenge!
@@cflo1606 Are you making this challenge on sims 3? do you have a link to the challenge rules? I only knew the ts4 version
I'm sure you can plant things on the bare dirt in the sims 3 too? I vividly remember being able to do that if you place the plant on the floor and click it
Pretty sure that's possible in sims 3 as well. That's what I did for tomatoes and apples and all those fruits
@@PoptartParasol Yeah that's what I'm saying
yes, gardening does not require "dirt carpets" it's just repainted soil, but if lot is too small, there are pots in the Seasons and Supernatural and special grass carpets in Into the Future
Yep, I remember making half of my one family's backyard into an area for growing every plant available.
Maybe the collection helper didn't work cuz if you join a new world the seeds have to spawn in first.
Also in sims 2 you can make really cool juices that give you different boosts!! :))
I'm gonna have to say ts3. Too much bug spraying turns you into a plant sim? Danger! Danger! Cool. We like danger.
The Sims Makin' Magic actually adds some gardening stuff too. You could create vineyards by buying sprigs for grape and elderberry vines, and planting them in the "As the Plot Thickens" gardening plot. (It looks like the Insta-Plot Victory Garden, but slightly darker in color) That said, it's not as in-depth as Unleashed's gardening, as it's more a way for you to get those ingredients without having to buy them, like with the various objects that occasionally give you ingredients for spells, though I'm pretty sure the pantries will recognize them as crops.
In TS2 if you stock your fridge with food from your garden (or fruit from your trees, or fish that you caught), it will be used in the recipes you make and when you eat them your hunger will fill faster and decrease slower.
You can identify these dishes that are prepared with "organic" meat and produce because they will have sparkles over them.
Sees the video: this seems like a random topic compared to her other videos
clicks the video and sees the sponsorship: Oh okay, that's why
You make that money girl! I certainly prefer this method to a random _RAID SHADOW LEDGENDS_ break
The Collection Helper works fine in my game from 2009. I have 1.67 version installed and it still works fine. Also, doesn't in The Sims 3 sims can plant seeds to world directly?
"Honestly the only thing good that came out of the Sims 4 base game" ain't that the truth 🤣
Honestly I rarely play Sims 4 without having my sims do some form of gardening. I love the idea of a self-sustainable household, growing your own food and living off the land sounds like fun. I've been playing with base game for years but just recently got Seasons and I'm loving the in season/out of season mechanic, though it would be nice if saving/loading the game didn't reset my plants lol. I want to get Cottage Living at some point, maybe when I get paid next lmao. Now that I've started getting the expansions it's very hard not to get more of them :'D
I love this skill. I got my ambition of owning a farm. And the plus side is that I enjoy my other fave skills such as Nectar Making, Cooking, and Alchemy. May I suggest that you should look on the lore of Nectar Making.
The collection helper usually takes me a couple sim hours to use after loading my game because things need to spawn!! :) love your channel so so much
My vampires had a garden in the sims 3. :) They kept fainting from the sun.
It wasn't a good idea to watch your video before my study session (exam season, you know). Now i want to play sims 3 and have the best garden ever. Great video by the way
Loved it gal! Definitely I loved TS3 gardening because of all the options, so many plants and things to do beyond just that! Thanks for the plantsim note, I am playing TS2 nowadays and had completely forgotten how to do it. Xx
I actually really love gardening in The Sims 4.
*Yess always been looking for a gardening video!*
Can you also do an in-depth video that focuses on
- cooking
- fishing
- hobbies
- vacations
as these are really hard to find too.
I have a sim in the sims 3 whose gardening career consists of one gardening class and then just harvesting ripe veggies from his neighbors. There's one family in specific who had a huge garden and they were my favourites to steal produce from.
The collection Helper sometimes needs time for items to spawn before they start finding them. It should be working by the first 24 or so hours.
In the sims 3 console version there's a community garden named after McGregor, I thought that was a pretty cool little nod, if it was actually an easter egg. I always thought that the little barn looking building was cute, and that's where my sim got engaged to the local emo chef Cevin Faron.
I learn a lot from your videos every time I watch them
Aw thank you I’m so happy to see that!! 💕
@@TheSimsLore You're welcome! Every time I watch I always learn something new about the Sims
i'm happy to support your content but i get a little shot of serotonin hearing my name in the shout outs lol
The collection helper still works fine for seeds in my sims 3 game. I use it all the time.
I actually laughed at 14:07 when you where about to end the vid and for me it would have been completely fine tbh. XD
Another things worth mentioning about sims 3 are the Sunflowers from "plants vs zombies" That drop rays of sunlight that can be then used as a fertilizer, and the SwiftGro station which you can use to identify seeds and automatically sprinkle and fertilize plants :D
You should do the history of plant sims because in the sims 4 they put in ZERO effort, it’s basically just a green sim.
10:30 You have to enable collectibles of one particular type in Collection Helper for it to be displayed on the map. Just tried it in game and it works perfectly fine. Also remember that you need to play for a few Sim days for the collectibles and seeds to spawn on the world.
Looks like the new werewolf pack is going to keep you busy. A crapton of new lore was added :D
The collection thingy didn't work because it takes time for collectibles to load into a game and im assuming the save you played hasn't got that far in days.
I just so happened to make ramen and bought a Pepsi then turned your video on to clear up my watch later 😂 glad I got the memo to bring snacks
please please i beg of you to do the sims 4 werewolves lore, its so interesting imo and i have been obsessing over it for weeks.
I could honestly listen to you talk about the lore/history of games for hours 🥰
You just taught me so many things I did not know about the sims games!! Thank you for your hard work, great job 👏🏻👍🏻💕
I really liked this video, love watching the evolutions of different hobbies and skills throughout the games 🖤🖤
"Makin' Magic" also had some farming tiles for grape vines, elderberries, and some magical plants if I recall?
Patiently waiting for that cow plant video 🥰
I tend to make my vampires garden their own plasma fruits in the sims 3
I swear I only have notifications on for your videos, I see thr notification I automatically do a little dance, then watch lol:)
Omg I had no idea the sims 3 had the omniplant!! That's so cool!
sims 2 _is_ super cozy
I had no idea it started so early in the series!
Snack Report: Leftover Chinese food and a Pepsi!
Perfect sponsor for a gardening video 🌱☺️
in the sims 3 there's is also a special gardening quest and you can plant eggs cheese meat after finishing it
Amazing video as always. You should talk about the secret house with chicken legs in Sims 2's Belladonna Cove
I've had a couple of difficulties in gardening :c in the sims 1, I had a bug where bunnies infested my yard lol. Never move a bunnie out of the lot boundaries with Move_objects.
In the Sims 2 (I have both versions of the game, the original CD-ROM and the Ultimate Collection that EA gave some years ago) gardening just never worked properly. I looked into my plants and it always had the orange sad face. I watered and cared for my plants until I reached a happy face, just to seeing it decay a sim hour later 😓
Ohhh please do nectar making!!! And cooking/canning/fishing. There’s some weird fish descriptions that might have some lore in moonlight falls. Also nectar making can be great for france lore
The Sims 3 Store also offered The Greenhouse, which did allow you to make greenhouses (however, mods are needed to get them to work properly), along with other gardening tools.
The original Sims game was definitely the most challenging to maintain. Sims 2 might not have had the "bloom/evolve" feature, as in Sims 3/4, but like you pointed out, talking to plants does that trick.
While Sims 4 is the only iteration to offer the grafting feature, with the Sims 3 Store Greenhouse, grafting tools were first introduced.
Since I love gardening and fishing, Sims 3 offers the most extensive experience for both, but because the lag gets a bit overwhelming, Sims 2 gardening/fishing (albeit a little more basic), imo is far better than Sims 4.
You forgot something in regards to the plant dangers in Sims 3: if you set up a fence, put down a gate, and then lock the gate to "sims and household", you can prevent zombies and wild life from harming your plants. Still might have to deal meteors though, haven't experienced those yet - and I DO have Ambitions and Seasons folks, it's not the lack of expansion packs.
Edit: you also forgot that there IS a greenhouse, but like the cowplant it's locked behind a paywall.
I remember gardeing in the mobile version back in i think 2013-16? Idk but to make fast money all my sims would work from day to night
Hi I know I’m late but I’m here now! ❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕
You’re also able to use harvestables in the sims 4 as fragrances in the washing machine.
P.s. my favorite gardening system was from the sims 3.
You do the history of writing books in the Sims and painting because I find that fun
History of cowplants please!

Hello dear how are you doing?
I'm planning to play sims 2 with the broke family. I wanted them to start their own little farm using mods and make money for the kids.
Big fan of your videos and sence your doing the skills Could you do something like this on the cleaning skill?
You have a lovely soothing accent
Bob looks like Patrick Stewart wearing a hat
I'm eating cookie dough ice cream 💪
Oh YUM!!!! 🤤🤤🤤
Please do the Vanderburg Family of hidden springs
K I like the cowplant but wish we could have an omni-plant in Sims 4, would have worked perfect with spellcasters pack, or even aliens because it sounds like an alien plant. Oh Sims team the marks that you miss 😔
Sims 4 could have been ignored lol.
The only thing I dislike about gardening in Sims 3 is it decreases fun. It's gardening not farming, nobody plants a garden unless they enjoy tending to it, "grannies puttering about the garden" is not a statement about grannies toiling away in the garden likes slaves but grannies having fun growing delicious home grown food to be made into even more delicious home cooked food. Gardening is fun even if it can be hard work.. Gran no longer uses a spade, she uses the handy hand trowel/shovel tool to dig the holes to plant her crops.. Three scoops to make the hole? Naw it's 15 and gran humming along with a smile and allot of happiness because she is imagining the reaction of those that will eat the final produce and that reaction is pure joy she imagines. And yeah that covers my gran and she didn't just imagine pure joy.
We can forget the sims 4 😭
not a single word about the gnomes from Makin' Magic... :(
Snack report: blue cheese
Yay!
Hi!!! 💕
@@TheSimsLore Just want to say that I appreciate the work you're doing, honestly. Okay thanks, have a nice day!
I love these videos 🥰
God I love this channel 🤥
14:34 How did you get this option? I've never seen a screen that would let you buy individual packets
I am a really good Gardner in sims 3 world but in real life the flowers that I bought 2 days ago are dying immediately D:
Praw deuce 😂
i had one slice of margarita pizza and a chery pepsi
i also miss the collection system in The sims 3...
Learning about Gardening in the previous games is interesting, and I appreciate what information was shared about those games. However I can’t help but see the clear bias towards those other games as it seemed you went back to at least the most up to date information for the Sims 3 but pulled old footage from the Sims 4. This is known, because plants and gardening went through several overhauls over the years. The flower depicting the plants happiness hasn’t been seen since the seasons expansion, where gardening had its first base game update with several quality of life improvements to the system. It got another base game update last year with cottage living and another one that wasn’t attached to a pack expansion, where it changed how it was listed (the lowest value is no longer normal, instead it’s frail).
Not only that, where you went through what gardening can be used for in the other games and what type of careers are associated, you just made gardening seem like a feature with little to nothing in base game. You mentioned getting seeds from the computer, but most seeds are unlocked either by grafting plants to get a new plant, raising your skill to unlock the ability to purchase the plant, or even something crazy like going to space in order to find the UFO fruit (this fruit is base game and can be obtained on one of the rabbit hole missions with a rocket but is stupidity rare). More plants are included in a lot of packs, like the every occult game pack has new plants associated with the pack, cats and dogs has catnip, outdoor retreat has plants to be used for the new herbalism skill, jungle adventure has several new plants tied in there that is used for the pack dishes. There’s like 50+ plants overall in that game. You could have an alien garden, a garden filled with mystical plants, a very regular FarmVille type.
Similar to sims 2, there is a gardener career that takes you down two career paths; botanist or florist. The botanist career is more of the science like gardener, where as the florist is more artsy. There is a skill called flower arranging which lets you make bouquets, the higher skill you are you can even make a bouquet that sniffing or viewing can extend life and prevent death. There is also a death flower in base game, which you can use to save a sim about to be taken by Grim. (The money tree is also in the sims 4 as an aspiration reward included in seasons)
Watching back on the previous sims games, it looks like there isn’t nearly as much to do with gardening compared to the sims 4, the closest being sims 3. There is so much you can do with gardening in the sims 4 and it just feels like the game wasn’t given a fair chance to see what it could currently offer to you, since it seems like you didn’t even play with the features considering how confused you sounded about splicing. I just feel a bit cheated here since I came in interested to see clear differences between the gardening in the game, and then the entire gameplay gets shrugged off like there’s nothing attached to it besides “oh there’s splicing, and the cowplant is here, I guess”
I played the sims 2 but skipped the sims 3 as I couldn’t get it growing up. I played the sims 3 on the mobile app (which is how I was introduced to gardening in the sims). I have no nostalgia for the sims 3 gardening like most do, in fact I am playing the sims 3 now just to see why everyone says it’s the better game. I know it’s fun to rag on the Sims 4, every single community seems to do that with there respective franchises, I just ask if you are going to compare games and even go a bit into what pack brought what to gardening, and then get to sims 4 and stick to just base game, chuck an unclear table on screen and call it, that’s not fair to those who genuinely love the sims 4. (In terms of that table, sims have the ability to research a plant in base game and once it is researched, information about that plant shows up in a notepad and gives you the information you need in an easy to swallow format. You really don’t need to consult an offsite graph for this game unless you don’t care about the gameplay)
Everything I said about gardening isn’t even everything that can be done with it or every playthrough idea. The system established is very flexible from a gameplay standpoint.
SNACK REPORT: Coke and Cookie Dough
Hi. I know sims 4 have no story as previous sims game but why is so hated? Like i play that game with my wife and is fun. So i am confused and curious.
This video was before Sims 4 Cottage Living or you just forgoted about the existence of that pack ?
Nice video👍👍
You kinda did The Sims 4 dirty....😅😂
How do you get the "horrifying" quality?
Hello dear how are you doing?
cowplant is far worth the paywall
as much as I dislike the sims 4, I actually quite like gardening in that game. I'm not exactly sure what it is about it, but whenever I do play the sims 4, I often end up gardening at some point. I think for me it's the fact you can just plant stuff straight in to the ground without having to bother making a specific plot to plant in or get plant pots or anything, it makes it a lot more appealing to me.
The sims 4 could never
My sims 4 gardening is always broken 😭
Gardening is easy money in Sims 4
