How do you grow a money tree? My green thumbed simmie has a wish to grow one but I don't know how? I didn't even know you could do that!? If this has been asked before or is in the wrong place please tell me

You need a money tree seed and the ability to plant special seeds. I believe the only time you know you have a money tree seed is when an existing tree spawns one or when you fish one out of the water. So the best (non-cheaty) thing to do is plant every special seed your Sim can find and just discard the ones that sprout as special plants you may already be growing in adequate amounts.

There are special seeds out there...one of them is the money tree. I've only found it once and I don't remember what level of gardening you need to be (although I'm fairly certain its 9 or 10)

Special seeds require level 7 gardening skill IIRC.

Thanks I've never leveled gardening to level 10 before, I don't usually pick Green Thumb as a trait. Where am I most likely to find seeds in Sunset Valley?

Everywhere. But special seeds (while they will pop up in many locations) are most common next to graveyards.

Actually, seeds pop up wherever there is a seed spawner. Having the collection manager helps speed things up. But you can do a manual search for things by simply going over ever square inch of your sims world; when you find something, have you sim pick it up. The most valuable items are not easily found -- you won't find them along roads or downtown. They tend to be in the middle of big empty fields, or in the middle of a forest. So you really have to look at the map very closely and very carefully. However, on sims day of diligent searching (with or without the collection manager) should yield a nice collection of sees. And the odds are some of the valuable sees, like the money tree and life fruit will be among them.

In Sunset Valley, the most reliable spots to find Money Tree seeds are on either side of the vacant 60x60 and near the dome side of the Science facility. Be sure to look away from the front of the building.

I've found almost all my money tree seeds by the Science Facility in town - there are always special and rare seeds there. Also in more rural areas of town, like out by the waterfall (in Sunset Valley) and on that hill over by Agnes Crumplebottom's house.

...and then they say money does not grow on trees. Ha!
