How to Plant Seeds in Pots in Sims 4

One of the enjoyable aspects of playing The Sims 4 is the ability to cultivate a garden. Planting seeds in pots is an excellent way to start, and it's essential to do it properly for a successful harvest. In this article, we'll go through each step to plant seeds in pots in Sims 4.

Step 1: Acquire the Seeds

The first step in planting seeds in pots is to acquire the seeds. You can purchase seeds from the computer under the "order" option or by visiting the local gardening store in the game. Once you have acquired the seeds, you will need to make sure you have a pot to plant them in.

Step 2: Choose a Pot

The size of the pot you choose will depend on the type of seed you are planting. For small seeds, such as herbs, a small pot is sufficient. Larger seeds, such as pumpkins or watermelons, will require a larger pot. To choose a pot, simply click on the "activities" tab, select "gardening," and then select "buy planter box."

Step 3: Prep the Pot

Before planting the seeds, you need to prep the pot. First, click on the pot to open it. Then, click on the "up" arrow to fill the pot with soil. If the pot is not automatically filled with soil, you can purchase soil from the gardening store or "order" it from the computer. After the pot is filled with soil, select the bag of seeds from your inventory, and click on the pot.

Step 4: Plant the Seeds

Once you select the pot, click on the "plant" option to plant the seeds. Ensure you have clicked the correct bag of seeds, as each bag contains several types of seeds. A small row of green sprouts should appear in the pot after you have planted the seeds.

Step 5: Water the Seeds

After planting the seeds, water them by clicking on the pot and selecting the "water" option. Sims may occasionally overwater the seeds, so be sure to monitor their progress. The newly planted seeds will begin to grow, and soon you will have fresh herbs or a bountiful harvest of fruits and vegetables.

Step 6: Monitor the Progress

It is essential to monitor the progress of your garden regularly. Different plants require different levels of light and water. The soil may also need to be fertilized or sprayed. Ensure the plants are thriving by clicking the "tend" option to check their status.

Conclusion

Planting seeds in pots is a rewarding experience in Sims 4. With the correct technique and monitoring, you can cultivate a beautiful and fruitful garden. Follow these steps to successfully plant and grow seeds in pots, and watch your garden thrive!
