It’s not always rainbows and butterflies for a full-time gardener. Because Sims are not programmed to be Disney princesses, the possibility of having dying plants is high and likely.
If that’s too frustrating for you, then there’s no need to worry – CCs are here to save the day!
This V pack won’t guarantee a greener thumb for your Sim. But it can replace all the plants they left to die.
Blooming and thriving, these potted beauties can give gardeners a run for their money.
The modding community of The Sims 4 is massive both in size and creativity. I’ve seen amazing collaborations between fellow simmers, but this Cottage Garden Stuff Pack has got to be one of the most expansive.
With a whopping total of 171 items, this pack is loaded with CC to bring your rustic cottage fantasy to life.
Dress your toddlers in cute overalls, enjoy a collection of flowery delights, have kids play with a wheelbarrow, or bring nature with you wherever you go by wearing a crown of blossoms.
In just one pack you can build a themed lot without having to download or buy anything else!
Of course, I expected nothing less from 15 talented CC creators.
Raising a kid in-game would be more fun and worth the time if they can actually do more stuff than completing homework.
But The Sims franchise has a bad rap for stunting the growth and potential of Child Sims, making them virtually useless until they grow up (thanks, EA).
That’s why it’s up to modders to make it right, as usual.
With this mod, you can get kids to permanently help out in the garden and earn their keep until they can help in paying the bills.
Then before you know it, your Sim’s whole lot is sprinkled with 30 different harvestables in need of individual attention.
Not one to subject my Sim and gardener to a quick death, Scumbumbo’s Faster Gardening Mod is made to speed up the process.
This mod will shorten the amount of time it takes to do simple gardening tasks like weeding and watering. More complex tasks will stay the same, but hey… do you want your Sim to grow old and die in a garden?
The science of gardening is more than just relying on the sun to do all the work.
If your Sims are pursuing a Botanist career, chances are they would have more appreciation for in-game horticulture.
Which includes knowing what plants can be planted in specific seasons.
This only applies if you have the Seasons expansion pack installed. But if you do, then you know the feeling of not wanting extra complications gardening.
Ain’t nobody got time for that! And this mod knows it.
This allows all available plants to grow, spawn harvestables, and evolve in all seasons.
If you want to grow roses in winter or dragon fruits all year round, then, by all means, go right ahead!
By now, I hope I’ve convinced you that gardening is a cool pursuit.
But there’s just one frustrating thing left to fix: the harvests stuck in the inventory.
Full-fledged gardeners wouldn’t want those juicy fruits rotting away, never seeing the light of refrigerators. The best way to share the literal fruits of your labor is by having a functional retail produce stand!
This god-sent CC allows your Sims to store and sell harvested produce from their inventory.
It also includes custom animations for shoppers to create a realistic environment similar to a farmer’s market!
What’s more, you can now earn extra simoleons while doing the hobby your Sims love.
Aside from the nature-related traits that you can select in the base game, this Homesteader Aspiration mod makes gardening a way of life.
It programs your Sim to become self-sufficient, relying on gardening and fishing skills to live off nature’s bounty.
This mod also comes with a CAS bonus trait called Green Thumb that can level up a Sim’s gardening skill much faster.
Additionally, there’s the Master ‘Steader reward trait that grants your Sims a guaranteed boost in catching the best fish and creating an evergreen garden.
If it’s a farmer’s life you want, then make it a goal for your Sim to become a Hotshot Homesteader in no time!
