Gardening (The Sims 4)

Gardening

A Sim tending to her garden

Gardening is a skill included in The Sims 4. It primarily focuses on a Sim's ability to grow different types of plants. The plants grown through gardening can be sold or in some cases used in recipes.

Learning

Gardening skill is mainly built by tending various garden plants. To do so, the player must purchase seeds or have a Sim harvest wild plants and plant them. Then, the plants must be regularly watered, weeded and eventually harvested. Sims may also read a Gardening skill book, and the unlocked abilities to "Research Gardening" and "Talk to Plants" will also build Gardening Skill.
