How to Plant in Sims 4

In Sims 4, gardening is a great way to not only add some greenery to your Sim's home but also earn some extra income. However, for new players, the process of planting and growing crops can be a bit overwhelming. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to plant in Sims 4.

Step 1: Buy the Required Items

To start planting in Sims 4, you'll need to buy the necessary items. Go to the build mode and select outdoor plants to browse through gardening items. Most importantly, you'll need to purchase a planter box or garden bed, seeds, and plant interaction options.

Step 2: Prepare the Planter Box or Garden Bed

Once you've bought a planter box or garden bed, you'll need to prepare it for planting. To do this, click on the box and select the "Prepare Planter Box" option from the pop-up menu. After this, your Sim will automatically remove any rocks or debris and fill it with soil.

Step 3: Purchase Seeds

To purchase seeds, head over to the Buy mode and select the gardening section. From here, you can browse through different types of plants, herbs, and fruits you can grow. You can also purchase seed packets from the computer or phone.

Step 4: Plant the Seeds

Now it's time to plant the seeds. Click on the planter box or garden bed and select "Plant." This will bring up a list of all the seeds you've purchased. Choose the seed you want to plant, and your Sim will start planting it.

Step 5: Water the Plants

After planting the seeds, it's essential to water them regularly. To water the plants, click on the planter box or garden bed, and select "Water." Alternatively, you can use a watering can or hose to water your plants.

Step 6: Take Care of the Plants

Make sure to take care of your plants by regularly watering, weeding, and fertilizing them. You can fertilize your plants by clicking on them and selecting "Fertilize," which will help them grow faster and produce a better yield.

Step 7: Harvest the Crops

Once your plants are fully grown, it's time to harvest them. Click on the planter box or garden bed and select "Harvest." Your Sim will then harvest all the ripe crops, which can be sold for a profit or used for cooking.

In conclusion, gardening in Sims 4 is a fun and rewarding experience. By following these simple steps, you can learn how to plant, care for, and harvest crops like a pro. So, get your green thumb ready and start planting today!
