Here's something I haven't been game to try yet: Elder Plantsims still have the option to spawn off a little plant-toddler. But the woman already wants six grandkids, so it's not going to happen.
Maybe in another household, some time, way off in the future... Question is, is this a good idea?
It's not *that* likely everyone on the lot will die before the toddler hits adult, even if 'everyone on the lot' are all elders. And if they do, that just means there'll be a Plantsim toddler in the adoption pool...

Yeah, I've pretty much decided that I want Seasons *eventually* but I'm waiting until more hacks, bugfixes, etc are available (and possibly a patch or two) before I take the plunge, so to speak. After all the problems I've experienced with Pets, I'm being very cautious now.
I'd just go for it NVA, it's a remarkably bug-free EP and it is the best EP so far as far as I am concerned.

I see no reason why having plantbabies in the adoption pool is harmful in any way, since the game explicitly supports the case where a plantsim toddler can be taken away for neglect, as well as for standard death cases. At the same time, the benefits are similarly dubious, other than that a sim adopting a toddler will get something other than what he may have expected...

Actually, I'm usually lurking about for pretty much exactly an hour in the mornings, while the Amberspawn gets ready for school and heads out. I don't usually bother to sign onto IRC, though.

I could think of a few Sims who wouldn't mind adopting a plantsim. Family/Knowledge couples most likely. Or non-Family couples who want to skip the whole childhood/teen/college bit. Point was, I couldn't see a drawback.
I just thought it interesting that elder plantsims can still reproduce.

I'm still wondeing about changing plantsim clothing. I know I can buy them new clothes, but I kinda like the plant-ish feel to the default plantsim clothing. Has anyone seen more plantsim clothing anywhere. I found some on MTS2, but they really weren't suitable for everyday wear; more like lingerie type stuff. I made Rose Greenman spawn 5 plantbabies and trying to tell them all apart is driving me nuts! (She has the 'have 10 children' want). I am thoroughly un-awesome and have neither the talent or patience to make my own plantsim clothing.

PlantSims
can
breed like normal sims, if you want to go that route. I gave her another plant kid, another girl, and in the end I just stuck make-up on both her daughters, different on each. (Rose stays 'natural' in my game) I also only have Rose in the 'Plantsim' outfit, to help tell them apart. If you don't want them to be too un-plantlike, I think there are some green eyeshadows and green lipstick, for makeup...

I was wondering if produce can be placed on OFB shelves. Has anyone tried it?
Although this has nothing to do with Plantsims, I can answer this question. I decided to have a poor farm family (aptly named Farmer) whose only method of earning cash is selling harvested fruit. The fruit was placed easily on the OFB shelves and the natives snatched it all up in no time. However... despite the fact that the Sim had fruit in her inventory, the game saw the inventory as empty so was unable to use any of the "restock" commands - either ingame or Pescado's Macrotastics. *sigh*

That's strange, I had no problems restocking.

For some reason, lipstick doesn't seem to work on my female plantsims. I can give them custom eyeshadow/liner and blush without a problem, but her lips stay unchanged no matter what lipstick I stick on it, except for maxis crap. (oh joy).
Anyone else have this problem?

Its beacause the plant skintone is more like an overlay, like the vamp tone, sort of. You can make lipstick show but you would have to use bodyshop and make lipstick but saving it as Blush. The blush layer seems to be on top of the plant tone.

This is a known artifact produced by the fact that all custom lipsticks cloned pre-Seasons treat themselves as layer 0. Naturally, this means it's the lowest layer and gets stomped by everything. The Vampire/Werewolf fixes may partially address this issue, but there's no real "clean" solution other than to manually fix the layering in SimPE.

Rose is currenlt pregnant with twins from Jason and has already had 2 babies by him. It is easier to have her spawn plantbabies because they are generally maintenence free, but they all freaking look the same. Are plantbaby spawn always the same gender as the parent? I am thinking of having Jason abducted after he reaches the top of his career (almost there). Green babies all around!

Of four spawned Plantsims, I've gotten: Rose's daughter. Rose's husband's daughter. (Made him a plantsim too) And then those daughters had a daughter and a son respectively. So I think gender is as random as any birth.

Parsimonious has a lot of stuff that would be good for plant sims besides that as well.

I have the latest everything from maty and I still have troubles with my plant sims. I had the farmer guy (with kilt, MacSomething I beliece (Arhan in french) bought a community lot and set up a farm.
He hired Rose Greenman as an employee. She can tend the garden just fine (thanks to macrostatics/BRY) but she keeps complaining about her hunger (?) and her mood slowly goes in the red during the day, even if the talks to the plants (love at max), is watered by the sprinklers (water at max). Her Sun need does not move between her arrival and the moment I dismiss her because she drops everything, complaining of hunger and being in red mood....
Any idea ?
edit : I did not play her on her lot since adding back my hacks. I will do that later today and report back.
Am I the only one having this problem with plant sims as employee ??
here some screenshots to illustrate :
Even if her needs are almost maxed, her mood is red
it is a close up of the plant sim head (she's under an apple tree so I had to get really close) she is complaining about hunger....

I have had an ezboard membership for quite some time. Every time I apply for membership to n99 I never get a response. Meh.
Thanks for the parsimonious link Neriana, I will check it out.

Yesterday, while my Sim grilled some freshly caught fish on his indoor castle BBQ, I could hear a dog barking outside. The cat meowed, and then curled up for a nap. The fireplace glowed, and I could hear the rain outside. As my Sim sat down to eat, I realized I was content. No matter what things are like IRL, in this little world everything has finally "come together" and it is wonderful. It feels like Sims 2 is complete, now. Seasons did that, for me.
This is it exactly. Plus I can now have families that farm and fish exclusively and they don't *have* to work. And I am starting to want a homeschool hack because school interferes with all the fun stuff they can do even more than ever - fishing and gardening and turning blue and freezing. Okay, well, maybe not that last part, but you get the point.
