Use the hassle free fertilizer on your crop to keep the weeds away for longer. Just click on the plant to weed them yourself, or use another – much cuter – way to do this.
Letting weeds stay put will eventually turn your plants sickly. When weeds start growing around your crops you should get rid of them immediately. Make sure the sprinkles are enabled, only then will they water your plants automatically. If you have The Sims 4 Seasons installed you can place sprinkles directly next to your garden patches to keep them moisturized. Your kids can also help out in the garden by watering the plants. Just use the water interaction to keep the roots moist.
The bare minimum which you can do for your plants is water them, but this won’t be enough to keep them growing healthily. With some time and love, Sims of all gardening skill levels can grow the perfect oversized crop!īeware: The Uproot Plant interaction will trash the plant, so don’t use this unless you are sure you want to get rid of it. Sickly plants will eventually die if you do not try to salvage their damage, which would be a waste of the plant, but also your money as you’ll need to start over. Taking Really Good care of your CropsĪs with any harvestable crop, your oversized crops will need proper care to grow. Kids will unlock new gardening interaction by improving their mental skill. The seeds will appear in your Sims’ inventory so go ahead and plant them. You can pick between five kinds of crops: aubergine, lettuce, mushroom, pumpkin or watermelon. Click on either a computer or one of the garden patches to order them. Now you have the garden patches placed, it’s time to order some seeds. Oversized crops will grow year-round, so no need to place them inside a greenhouse even with The Sims 4 Seasons installed.
Less is fine, but keep in mind each crop will take about a full week to grow. Start with 5 to 15 garden patches if you can.
To get started you’ll need to place a garden patch in Build Mode. Unlike regular crops, oversized crops can’t be planted in the regular ground or planter. Use the new harvestables to create canned goods or visit the Finchwick Fair to join the Oversized Crops Competition. Plop down a garden patch or two and you’ll be ready to get started. If you’re into gardening in The Sims, you’re going to love the new oversized crops that come with The Sims 4 Cottage Living.
