Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Corylea on March 02, 2007, 05:17:30 pm I just had my first normal sim turn into a plant person, and it's fun.
He was spraying a buggy plant, and then a cloud of spray enveloped him, and I thought, "Oh, crap, he's poisoned himself." But no. After the game froze for quite awhile (must be a complicated transition for the poor guys :-)), he turned into a plant sim. Plant sims have three needs: Sunlight, Water, and Love. No more toilets, comfy sofas or TV! One of his options when taking care of plants now is "talk to plant." And he hunkers down beside a plant and has a conversation. He seems to talk about normal sim interests, but ones that are especially relevant to plants: weather, environment, and animals. At one point, he was talking about ladybugs and made buzzing sounds when talking. :-) I had him talk to a sickly plant, and he made it healthy again, just by talking to it. AND talking to the plant satisfied his own "love" need. Cool! When his water need got low, I tried having him drink some water, but that only raised it a little bit. But taking a shower -- bam! Full up! :-) Well, this happened five minutes ago, so I don't have a lot of details yet, but I thought it was fun and wanted to encourage people to try it at least once. Happy simming! Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: rook_cheshire on March 02, 2007, 05:21:33 pm Oh I can't wait to get the game. They seem actually neat, unlike werewolves:(
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: vanessa on March 02, 2007, 06:24:37 pm If you play in the Flowerhill or whatever is called(I'm in sweden) there is a family of plant people,they have a toddler.The girl can shake her head and get a toddler for 4 days,then the toddler becomes an adult.I already have 3 plant families and I'm totaly into the gardening thing.
Remember to use sunlamps into the house,plant people needs sun. I have now hudge bathrooms,they need waterII already created the bussiness center and a citty for them. I stayed at home today and played flatout.I love the snow and the rain.Love the game again! Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: misstrgal on March 03, 2007, 12:05:48 am I made my first plantsim and he alrready has plant grandchildren (thanks to age changing cheats) The grown plant children seem to start out with a family aspiration. For instance the plant grandchild, Bud, wants six grandkids of his own. And the wishing well sure makes it easy to find love quickly (Yay!) Plus the non-plant spouses are great for using the abandoned furniture and such. Plus you can spend a seemingly endless amout of time downtown as long as you have some sun lamps installed in the buildings. And I now have an additional use for the bath tubs I installed downtown to keep the dogs clean, how convenient. I LOVE plantsims Yay!
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: dragon_tfm on March 03, 2007, 07:17:26 pm cool..i hope walmart has it in stock today...i wann aplay =[
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Sam the T-man on March 03, 2007, 07:26:07 pm I hope the wishing well doesn't spawn people who are already attached... sounds like one hell of a gamble (aside from CrumpleButt climbing out of it ;))
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Roxxy on March 07, 2007, 05:58:03 pm The wishing well mentioned is kinda cool if only it was a little more random and had some variety in regards to the spawned love interest.
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Sam the T-man on March 07, 2007, 06:12:56 pm I have a werewolf living with a servo, and I turned him into a plant sim - he's become so easy to look after since, and I actually have a use for the drinking water now :D I'm surprised the hot tub doesn't boost the water as much as it would taking a bath though, maybe 'cause it's too hot?
Anyway, I got him to spawn a plant-baby, the guy was maxed out on skills so his tot now has no use for smart-milk, and I got the skill-building toys only to keep her busy. Neither of them even need to sleep - after the fun I've had with some families this is heaven! Might get them to start a business selling home-grown produce if that's possible, since I've got them some orchard trees and garden plots. Will be interesting to see if the juicer keeps his water level up, since it's still liquid. I'm seriously loving these guys :D Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Amanda77 on March 10, 2007, 01:02:18 am Yeah Plantsims are cool, and extremely easy to care for....but they have FUGLY babies. Kinda scary mine were...funny but way scary. :geek:
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: simskin on March 10, 2007, 12:02:55 pm Can't wait to have fun with the plant people...
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Sam the T-man on March 10, 2007, 12:09:36 pm @Amanda: Do a search for CAS face replacements... ;)
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Frostwyrm on March 11, 2007, 12:29:00 pm Sounds great about Plantsims^^
I should play one myself :D Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Mickey57 on March 11, 2007, 01:55:33 pm Hi all, I am sitting here reading how 'easy' plant people are to take care of. But I have a plant person problem, a toddler! I am playing the premade family with the mom and toddler plant and the human dad. The mom does fine, she gets all that she needs and she is very easy to maintain. The little one is a nightmare. She is in the dark red when it comes to sunlight, but the little bugger won't go anywhere where there are sun lamps. I literally put her in her crib and put two sunlamps over it, her need for light started to get better, made it to orange! Then the little pest jumped out of her crib and away from the lights. She was constantly playing in the toilet, so I put some sun lamps right over it, now she does not go near it. Her love and water are maxed, but her sunlight needs never even get as good as yellow, I am afraid I will lose her. It seems like my only option would be to put a sumlamp in every available space in the ceiling! That's just not practical. Help me! I am so afraid I will lose her, I don't mind picking off the occasional adult, but I could not handle killing a little baby. Any Ideas??????
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Sam the T-man on March 11, 2007, 01:57:44 pm Just direct her to play with toys in her room, she should be fine then...
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Rochelle28nm on March 11, 2007, 01:59:47 pm I've been wanting a plant sim for a while now. How many times do I have to use the spray option before I become one?
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: sweetpea190980 on March 11, 2007, 02:04:34 pm Quote from: Mickey57;621850 Any Ideas?????? as far as i know you wouldnt kill her shed just get took away by a social worker saying that when i played this family she was maxed red all through the toddler stage then when she grew up she ran outside and passed out Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: mchaos on March 12, 2007, 10:17:14 am I didn't have too many problems with Daisy, I just placed sun lamps over her toys. She played with them a lot, and usually played with the dog I got them in that same room. As far as I could tell with the crib, they were messing with us. There is no reason to ever put a toddler plant sim in a crib. They don't sleep and they don't need comfort. If she gets too low, one thing you can do is have the mom or dad hold her and cuddle her either outside or under a sun lamp.
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: flopi_flopi on March 13, 2007, 07:32:50 am If you have problems whith the sun light, put some green house lamp under the toddler, but use moveObjects on and then Bam! the sun light need is up!! =)
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Mickey57 on March 13, 2007, 07:35:49 am Cool thanks, I will try those, I want daisy to live and thrive.
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: PrincessJen on March 15, 2007, 10:35:00 am Flora, Fauna, Ivy, Goldenrod, Silverleaf, Aspen...
hope those help a little. Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: friendlyquark on March 15, 2007, 11:52:14 am Rose, Rowan, Elenor (LOTR reference), Berry, Mustardseed (Shakespeare), Summer, Aviva (Hebrew for spring), Autumn...
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Sam the T-man on March 15, 2007, 12:28:47 pm I called Luca's sapling Nelly after the real Luca's Mum... :P
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: collin152 on March 17, 2007, 02:45:51 pm Violet, Camellia, Crysanthemum (Or however its spelled), or if your into oriental things, Snapdragon, or if you want a Japanese name for a boy, Hanamaru essentially means "Flower Son". Harumaru means "Spring Son", Natsumaru is summer son, Akimaru is autumn son, And I'm not too sure, but I think Fukumaru is "Winter Child"
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Blackdelfina on March 17, 2007, 11:20:10 pm I have Lily, Rose, Oak, Sprout, Berry, and an alien baby born to one of my plantsims is named Lemon Drop because she was born while her father was tending his lemon trees.
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: collin152 on March 17, 2007, 11:52:52 pm Oh, and Sakura is a very popular japanese girl name that translates to "Cherry Blossom"
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: LytleMsLulu on March 18, 2007, 06:51:33 pm Can your sim go back to being a regular person?
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: char5263 on March 19, 2007, 06:05:23 pm I'm not to crazy about the plant sims..not sure why I'm just not
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Alexavbriana on March 19, 2007, 07:26:11 pm I used a couple of motherlodes, turned the house into a giant greenhouse with lots of sunlamps, and I've had no trouble at all. I really love plant people. Rose spored a second child, Oleander, and I'm thinking of having her spore a third.
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: mchaos on March 28, 2007, 02:07:46 am I got a little silly with Rose's quads, and gave them all plant names. Can't remember them all, but two were Basil and Acorn. I think they're all boys. Rowan, Juniper, Heather, and Ivy all all good female plant sorts of names.
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: jjsmith on April 01, 2007, 10:24:16 am i'm surprised no one thought of Hyacinth or Posy
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Sam the T-man on April 01, 2007, 03:51:17 pm Rowan's not just a girl's name either... I thought it was a boy's name actually :dontknow: Also Rosemary, Lavendar...
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: mchaos on April 04, 2007, 03:35:47 pm I guess I thought it was a girls name cuz' I've actually met women named Rowan, but not men. Guess it's one of those things...like being surprised to meet a man named Shannon cuz' I was sure that was a girl's name (due to having hung out w/ a chick by that name in Jr. High). Gender Neutral names can be confuzzling to weirdos like me. :D
more, Ash (it's a tree), Heath, Fern, Hazel, Myrtle, Willow, Laurel Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: jjsmith on April 06, 2007, 10:22:20 am i've got a male cousin named Shannon, and Mr Bean is played by an actor named Rowan Atkinson.
Title: Plantsims Post by: latibia2716 on April 06, 2007, 02:59:18 pm Quote from: LytleMsLulu;636122 Can your sim go back to being a regular person? I think they can, similarly to the way that vamps and werewolves can: call up the gypsy and buy the potion. Plantkiller, I suppose? :-) Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: friendlyquark on April 07, 2007, 12:49:35 pm Actually, you call up the Gardening Club and they sell you the plantsim cure potion. Or, you download Monica's computer, or the InSim, or MATY's FFSLotdebugger or...well, you get the idea. LOL
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: YHsims2003 on April 12, 2007, 06:36:47 pm Tulip, Rose, Sunshine, Nature, you know...anything thats outside but boy names are harder to come up with.
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Laughingshadows on April 12, 2007, 06:55:10 pm Alot of victorian names had plant references, have a look on the internet for romantic period names.
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Vampyre on May 04, 2007, 01:31:13 pm I suppose naming a plantsim Rutabaga would be a little odd. Ok he could go by Rudy, but still...
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: friendlyquark on May 05, 2007, 12:48:58 pm Well, then there would be Broccoli, Beet, Cabbage, Dill, etc. I mean you COULD get all silly on it. You know...that sounds like fun!
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Sam the T-man on May 05, 2007, 01:00:15 pm Dill's not a bad name :) Calling them after the average vegetable however is asking for trouble :laugh:
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Vampyre on May 05, 2007, 03:44:46 pm I don't feel so bad about naming Cuke and Ghurkin now.
Hey Popeye had Sweetpea back in the day. How else would anyone expect us to name sims that look like they just stepped out of the label of a can of vegetables? ;) Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Sam the T-man on May 05, 2007, 04:00:41 pm :sign5: Good point...
I wish I could find a way to allow Plantsims to change their hair... it's been driving me nuts trying :( Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: KacoshiAjewl on May 05, 2007, 05:14:15 pm On the subject of names one i love to use that not many people know of is Lycrosis its a type of red flower very beautifull.
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Vampyre on May 06, 2007, 04:13:36 pm My newest plantsim just had twins. I wouldn't have just assumed they could, but lo and behold! :P
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: friendlyquark on May 07, 2007, 11:13:56 am I guess it's like those tomatoes in my garden where one does a kind of mutant budding thing off of another. LOL It happens rarely but it does happen. Was the second one a vegetable too. :)
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Samantha2977 on May 07, 2007, 11:24:30 am Quote from: Corylea;606121 I just had my first normal sim turn into a plant person, and it's fun. That is cool, That is still one of the two things i have yet to have happen. The other is turing my sim into a werewolf. Still working on those. Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Vampyre on May 07, 2007, 12:26:06 pm Quote from: friendlyquark;716787 I guess it's like those tomatoes in my garden where one does a kind of mutant budding thing off of another. LOL It happens rarely but it does happen. Was the second one a vegetable too. :) Yep. A boy and a girl plantsim babies... or toddlers I guess would be more accurate. Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: friendlyquark on May 08, 2007, 11:09:58 am Yeah, my only problem with the plantsims is the short lifespan, I guess it balances with the no sleeping thing, but I feel a little bad that they don't have a childhood. :(
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Terra Caliente on May 12, 2007, 02:30:01 pm I will name my main plant guy Kakarotto!
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: jjsmith on May 15, 2007, 08:37:35 am a dbz fan, ne? i prefer raditz

Still vegetation.... I didn't mean to focus on vegetables in particular. They are indeed flowers. Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: brad2006 on May 17, 2007, 12:39:45 am What about Claudia & Dahlia,they got along with Heather(silent hill reference;Black Dahlia,White Claudia, & Pink Heather)
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: fryluvr16 on May 19, 2007, 12:17:11 pm After Daisy became an adult, I turned Rose back into a regular sim. She's pretty!
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: friendlyquark on May 20, 2007, 02:28:36 pm I have turned all my plant sims back into regular sims, I find the whole not sleeping, having no childhood, and wilting without sun and water, to be a little too much for me sometimes. I do use Insim to turn some of my knowledge sims into one briefly, also to get the gardening badge :), but I don't leave them that way for long.
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: goody13 on May 27, 2007, 11:02:17 pm The other night, I had my sim talk to an Orchard tree that was on the decline while I focused on the husband playing with the toddler. The next thing I know, she is walking over to the husband wearing the fig-leaf bikini (obviously, she wasn't wearing it before hand..lol). Is that the start of her becoming a plant sim or just an aberration?
Edit: OK, I feel like an idiot; it turns out that when my sim reached the Ecco Guru level, in her career as a Natural Scientist, she dons the aforementioned fig-leaf bikini and flies off to work. I saw her after she came home from work and just assumed the outfit was due to the spray...to be honest, I was reading about the Plant people and was kind of hoping it had happened to mine...lol. Title: how Post by: yas345 on June 07, 2007, 11:48:37 am how do you actually get a plant sim?:-P
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Sam the T-man on June 07, 2007, 12:43:25 pm The official way is to spray your crops when they get infested, and do it a lot. There's no "transition" when they change, they just do.. and head straight for the nearest sink for a glass of water :D
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Minty94 on June 07, 2007, 03:32:15 pm I am getting sims 2 seasons as soon as i can. I can imagine how cute the babies are! I have a list of girl names:
Rose Lavender Lilly Daisy Flora Heart Sakura Cherry and that is all i got. I havent thought of boy names yet, only girl names. ~Reanna Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Minty94 on June 10, 2007, 03:23:23 pm I NEED HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!! i just got the game and i was playing with the greenman family (with the plantsims) and daisy and her sister lavender grew up. So they each had some babies of their own (Flora, Mapel, Thorn, and Lana) and moved out. they live in their own house now but I CAN'T KEEP THE SUN LEVEL UP!!! I have put the daylight lamps in every single square inch of the house and no matter what, ever if they directly under FIVE daylight lamps, the sun thing is red and it keeps going down. So in all, the sun lamps don't work for me. i am really stressed because i love these people but i can't help them, and it is winter in their house. Can anyone help me? THANKIES! :D
~Reanna Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Bloody_Tears on June 11, 2007, 06:01:45 am This might sound like a fairly stupid question, but are they turned on? Mine aren't always on, so that might be the answer. And I think you can probably use Insim to max all their motives anyway.
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: sorrowfultear on June 13, 2007, 09:03:12 pm I went to buy it at target, but it was sold out!! T.T So I ended up getting Uni...
Sunny, Augustus, Akito, (japanese boy name) Starlene, Stellaluna, Daisy, Rosalyn, May, June, Clover, April, Saffron, Violet, Narcissus, May, Lily, Lavendar, Chrysanta, Columbine, Iris... lol, just look up flower "boy name" or flower "girl name" on google. Tons of stuff. ...I'm going to go all furuba here: (these are all some form of the japanese names for the months, but have to do more w/ the zodiac than the seasons) Girls: Ren Kagura Kisa Boys: Hatsuharu (Haru) Momiji Yuki Kyo Aayame (Aaya) Shigure Hatori Hiro Ritsu lol yeah. you can tell i've thought about this alot. XD (I think I've mentioned a lot that were shown before... btw, "maru" is a masculine japanese ending for "boy", so just tack that on the end of anything) Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: tngrspacecadet on June 15, 2007, 07:05:21 am i also assumed that the sun lamps were on when they were not.
i just got seasons so played the greenmans for the first time last night after reading this thread! goodness, but plant sims make a nice change... the toddlers just happily skill themselves and just need the occasional bath. jason burnt some food and i had put a sprinkler in the kitchen, after it went off needless to say the puddles of water were a great source of amusement.:happy8: Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Sam the T-man on June 15, 2007, 09:52:30 am I've got a plantsim in my game whose LTW was to max all his skills, and he's perma-plat ;) Got a load of toys and let the tots please themselves most of the time - talk about refreshing change! :D
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Vampyre on June 15, 2007, 10:03:40 am They make great business managers too I discovered.
Uh... plantsims not tots. Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Sam the T-man on June 16, 2007, 12:14:29 pm Riverblossom Hills is good for getting into how they work, but can't beat your own :) I cheated with mine ;)
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Vampyre on June 16, 2007, 12:22:12 pm Quote from: haushinka_2007;777495 I've yet to have a Plant Sim. I'm dying to get one. Even though I can just go into Riverblossom and play that one. :smt106 Use that bug spray every chance you get. Buy a few trees instead of just one. Wake your sim up in the middle of the night to go down and spray trees if you have to. Spray! :) Then you could get one. Just might happen. Have I mentioned that your sim should spray the trees? Don't get the ladybug house.... not until you're successful. Title: plant sims Post by: chocholady90009 on June 27, 2007, 09:40:09 am guess im going to have to try to do some cheating to get me a plant sim like have a plant sim spawn and then have the spawn move to different neighbourhoods
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: chocholady90009 on July 03, 2007, 11:07:58 am Quote from: Corylea;606121 I just had my first normal sim turn into a plant person, and it's fun.

Maybe I should try a plantsim again... it just sucks that you cant change their hair... I did it once by mere fluke, but can't remember how... plus the skin is boring, I still haven't found a decent replacement Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Nita-Chan on July 06, 2007, 09:52:50 am I love plantsims. <333 They're so much fun. I totally forgot I had a ladybug house and I sat there, like, HAY, WHY DON'T MY PLANTS GET BUGS. D:< Then I realized, oh, ladybug house = no bugs. xD;; So I didn't buy one when I got a garden for another one of my Sims, who adores gardening; it's her life, pretty much. She sprays her plants before she goes to work, and her husband sprays them while she's gone. I'm afraid he's going to turn into a plantsim, because he's like, a celebrity, and I can't imagine having a celebrity plant-sim. ; n; But I don't mind his wife much. xD After all, she IS the garden-holic. So it's fine with me.
I had no idea that the heat lamps gave the plantsims sunlight. To think I always made them go outside when I wanted them to get sun! xD!! But I'm okay with it, mainly because I love gardening with Rose. She has mystical healing powers or something. o_o I have yet to download a replacement skin for the plantsims, but I'm getting ready to right now. xD Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: KacoshiAjewl on July 06, 2007, 10:28:39 am I would love to have an Pixie Moss as a default replacement for my plant sims T-T It would be the perfict plantsim skin
Title: Fun with Plant People Post by: Aconite on September 10, 2008, 11:26:35 am I currently have a plantsim called Echidna (yup, ive been playing Devil May Cry 4 :smile:) Another of mine is Gaia.
If ur imagination fails, just look up a couple of plant names, maybe altering the sounds a little to make them unique :smile: Ive always fount mythology to be a good resource for names. |
