All those hours put into work aren’t just for simoleons. Once your Simreaches rank fivein this career path, they’llunlock the Aquagreen Hydroponic Garden. This unique item allows your Sim toincrease their Creativity skillwhile cultivating specialized plants.

These plantstake a few days to grow,but once they mature, you cansell them for a small profit. Additionally, you may decorate with them. You can onlyearn this object once per sim in the career, but if your sim is fired or quits, they can rejoin the career and earn it again.

Male Sims that are sloppy and playful can “water” the plants to relieve their bladder motive.

Child Sims can’t plant the initial seedsdue to their height, but they cantend the plantsafter an adult gets things started. This enables a household to start cultivating skills at a young age–which will only benefit their growth into afully-functional adult Simlater.
