2) Since the plant children are born with pointy ears, it seems to be confirmed that they are not clones, but genetically related to an unknown "pollinator" NPC. Has anyone familiar with SimPE been able to isolate it? And what are its characteristics (other than pointy ears and ugly). It seems relevent as to whether it can ultimately be replaced by a hack with a more attractive pollinator NPC, as with the alien pollination technician.
Not all plant sims have pointed ears. I have some with normal ears also. It seems to be a chance thing to get the pointed ears.
I would love to see some other plant sim outfits. It is hard to tell them apart when you have a group of them. I know you can change their outfit, but it reverts back to the plant sim outfit after getting their water refreshed.
