So, you’ve embraced your inner botanist and transformed your Sim into a PlantSim in The Sims 4. Maybe it was for the seasonal challenge, or perhaps you were just feeling a bit…leafy. But now the novelty has worn off, and you’re yearning for the joys of showering without photosynthesizing. Fear not, my green-thumbed friend! Returning to your human form is entirely possible, and here’s exactly how you do it:
The primary method to revert your Sim from a PlantSim back to a regular human is by drinking the antidote, crafted using a special serum. The PlantSim Serum is the key to your transformation, and you can get this serum to cure your plantified Sim in two ways:
-
Completing the “Finding a Cure” Aspiration Goal: This aspiration is available once your Sim becomes a PlantSim. By completing the various tasks associated with this aspiration (which often involve tending to plants, socializing with other Sims, and researching gardening), you’ll eventually receive the PlantSim Serum as a reward. Once you have it, simply have your Sim drink the serum to return to their human form.
-
Purchasing the Serum from the Reward Store: For those who prefer a more direct approach, you can purchase the PlantSim Serum from the Reward Store. To access the Reward Store, open the Aspirations panel. The PlantSim Serum costs 1,500 Aspiration Points. Earn Aspiration Points by completing whims and milestones related to your Sims’ aspirations. Once you’ve accumulated enough points, purchase the serum and have your Sim consume it.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About PlantSim Reversion in The Sims 4
Here are fifteen frequently asked questions to further illuminate the process of returning your Sims to their human form:
What are PlantSims in The Sims 4?
PlantSims are a temporary life state in The Sims 4, usually introduced through special in-game events or challenges. They have unique needs, like hydration instead of hygiene, and can photosynthesize by standing in sunlight. They also have distinct interactions and visual features, such as leafy hair and green skin.
How do Sims become PlantSims?
During specific events, Sims can become PlantSims through interaction with special plants or by eating certain fruits. One common method is related to in-game events that often tie into seasons and gardening.
Can children be PlantSims?
Yes, children can become PlantSims during related events if exposed to the necessary triggers. However, the effects on children might be slightly different visually.
How long does the PlantSim transformation last?
The duration of the PlantSim transformation varies depending on how the Sim became a PlantSim. If it was through an event, it usually lasts for a few days. The PlantSim Serum can be used to reverse the transformation at any time, regardless of the remaining duration.
Does being a PlantSim affect my Sim’s skills?
No, being a PlantSim does not inherently affect your Sim’s skills. They can still learn and improve skills as normal. However, their needs might influence their focus and productivity.
Can PlantSims reproduce?
Yes, PlantSims can reproduce. The genetics of the PlantSim status are not passed down, so the offspring will be regular Sims unless exposed to the PlantSim-inducing triggers.
What happens if a PlantSim doesn’t get enough water?
Instead of losing hygiene, PlantSims need hydration. If they become dehydrated, they will suffer negative moodlets and eventually pass out. Keep them watered and happy!
Can PlantSims get sunburned?
While PlantSims need sunlight for photosynthesis, they can still get sunburned if exposed to excessive sunlight. Be mindful of the in-game temperature and provide them with shade when necessary.
Does the “Finding a Cure” aspiration appear automatically when a Sim becomes a PlantSim?
Yes, once your Sim becomes a PlantSim, the “Finding a Cure” aspiration should automatically appear in their aspiration panel. This provides a structured pathway to reverse the transformation.
Are there any cheats to instantly turn a Sim back into a human?
While there isn’t a specific cheat code dedicated solely to reverting PlantSims, you can use cheats to give yourself aspiration points and then purchase the PlantSim Serum from the Rewards Store. To do this, open the cheat console (Ctrl+Shift+C), type testingcheats true, then type sims.give_satisfaction_points [number], replacing [number] with the amount of aspiration points you want to give your Sim. Then, head to the Rewards Store and buy the serum.
Can I store the PlantSim Serum for later use?
Yes, the PlantSim Serum can be stored in your Sim’s inventory or in the refrigerator for later use. This is helpful if you want to keep it on hand for future transformations or to help other Sims.
If I turn my Sim back into a human, can they become a PlantSim again?
Yes, your Sim can become a PlantSim again if they are exposed to the same triggers that caused the initial transformation, such as interacting with special plants during events.
Can I sell the PlantSim Serum?
No, the PlantSim Serum cannot be sold. It is a reward item that can only be used to revert a PlantSim back to a human.
Does being a PlantSim affect my Sim’s lifespan?
No, being a PlantSim does not significantly affect your Sim’s lifespan. Their lifespan is determined by the game settings and any lifespan traits they possess.
