I think my sims were getting wet while gardening, and they didn't like it. So I'll ask you... do you have any sprinklers in your greenhouse? Try taking them out if you do. :howdy:

your sprinklers might be broken. they do that. its SUPER annoying.

Use the option 'stock'. If you are using a custom fridge, the option might not be there, in that case use a maxis fridge.

You can then choose a juice type to make. if the produce was "mouthwatering" quality then the juices have special effects. (I don't know the combinations or effects sorry)

You can stock the fridge with fruits and veggies- it doesn't give you any options for new meals (only fish do that as far as I know) but it does designate the other meals (custom and standard) as fresh/more satifying.

I've used sprinklers in a composted ground and my plants where thriving after a couple of days even when the only thing my sim did was tend them, I'm still not sure of the way the timing works but I noticed something tricky... You have to use "Top Down View" in Buy/Build mode to see the exact area of effect.

EDIT: After posting this I played for some time and realized that the "water" option always shows up, but when the "water many" option shows up it means that some plants really need some water

I had my PlantSim plant tomatoes at the end of autumn. It seemed like that the plants took more work to keep them thriving than it did in the summer, but they were definitely alive and thriving. Just pay attention to them since it is really hard to see if they need watering or tending when they are covered in snow. My sim harvesting his thriving winter tomatoes! LOL! Dream

Wish for friends:
Three random sims spawned with a lifetime and daily relationships metters at 55. Maybe it's a casuality but the sim that made the wish needed three more friends in order to be promoted at her job

Wish for money:
A bag of simoleons fell from the sky and 1000 simoleons were awarded from the bag.

Wish for romance:
A sim with a lifetime and daily relationship meter at 75 fell from the sky and kissed (tenderly) the sim who made the wish

Drink: It has no special effect, just like drinking water from a sink

NOTE 1: After using the wishing well (To make a wish) it could not be used by any sim in the house for five game hours
NOTE 2: The sim that made the wishes had the aspiration meter just a little above negative (almost red)

The same way you place a normal door in a normal wall, Keep in mind that it's imposible to place anything in "Pleasant Earth Dirt" so leave at least one free space for the door

you must build the wall first that you want you door to go on (just like normal walls and doors) then choose the door in the same catelougue area and place it on that wall section...i hope i was clear its late and my brain is gettign fuzzy

Use low fences(those sims can step over) around your vegetables, this will prevent your veggies from lowering the environment score on the whole outside - Then you can tend/fix the problems when you feel like it! :Pimp:

I tried each option once so can't tell you exactly what happened, maybe it's because of some hack. I tried once with each option and it turned out pretty well, you should try again after five game hours and if nothing happens try with a clean download folder (No custom content installed) or at least remove all hacks

Two questions:

Can fruits and veggies be sold as fresh produce as part of an Open for Business store?

Does anyone know the exact recipe for the strawberry/lemon (platinum aspiration) juice mentioned by missmontignac?

You just drag the veggies out and put them up for sale on a display.

Strawberry lemonade= 2 strawberry, 3 lemons (X6 to serve).

Edit: some disagreement on quantity. Game guide says 3X..then it says 2X. Other gamers claim it's 6X. I've got to try this out later.

I'm worried that my latest Salvation Army donation will result in homeless people looking like sluts from the 90s.

I'm also curieus, can you open a fruit and veggie store?
