Can a sim survive by only gardening in The Sims 3? 

The worst thing is I googled this a bit before I did it and forgot the sprinkler existed 💀

@@ryanplaysthesims even after your sim was playing in the sprinker...💀almost as if he was trying to tell you something

Hahahaha this makes it so much worse. I was just so happy he was finally having some summer fun

Gardening in 3 is like gnome carving in 1 💰💰💰💰💰💰

I always forget about the sprinkler 🤦🏾‍♀️

😄

Overcoming adversity indeed makes the difference. I love TS3 exactly for this reason, which TS4 lacks unfortunately.

To be fair, gardening is quite overpowered in basically all the sims games. It's one of those things that intentionally take a long time to get going, but are very profitable once you do. I mostly play TS4. One of the best money-making plants in that game is the dragon fruit, which is base game, sells for hundreds of simoleons (at normal quality), and can most easily be obtained by grafting two fairly common plants together. And, because they are so expensive, they make one of the best fertilizers. Add to that, plants in TS4 don't die easily, and the Money Tree is easily obtainable by getting max level and buying a few rare seed packets (added with Seasons),... and you have a pretty easy way to attain and maintain your riches.

Also! Sprinklers (from generations iirc?) auto water your plants and cut your gardening time in half

@@justaperson4656 Sprinklers in ts3 from the base game, with the handiness skill they can be improved so that they water plants every 5 AM

@@Tevi_L7151 wait really? Man that's so cool! I only just started using sprinklers, so I know very little of them

@@jennynoelle6782 its not in ALL of the sims games. gardening sucked in ts1, it was not great in ts2 and ts3 really took it to another level even with the base game. ts4 is decent for sure... it can go places plus with the basemental mod you can become a marijuana millionaire very quickly lol

happy simming!

Busted strategy of my choosing is Omni plant + Dragon Ripple, the most expensive book in the game. Farming the things nets you stupid amount of money

@@6ubble-gum oh wow i had no clue you could grow inedible things as well lol the omni plant is so versataile

In Sunset Valley there's also one Omni plant at the science lab for quick access to one, I only really use them for roleplay reasons personally.

I recorded this pre voice being gone so it’s not better yet but I hope you enjoy gal!

Hahaha I can’t win 🤣 people kept asking me to add all parts in and when I finally do it’s boring! I know what you were actually trying to say though and thank you ☺️

I like it long

@@ryanplaysthesims I think they meant that the gameplay has its boring moments when you're not cutting it out (as in watching the sim sleep and take care of needs etc) But not the commentary or the content at all! I much prefer the longer videos! Please keep them up!

Thank you so much! It’s so crazy to me that people care enough to watch this!

@@ryanplaysthesims So many people played the Sims as kids and find it boring now, but your videos are always SO entertaining! I could watch all of your videos back to back and still be entertained by the chaos, lol. You actually inspired me to redownload the Sims 3… and I played for 8 hours straight 😅 It feels like such a waste of time but it’s so addicting!!!

Money trees are overrated, instead plant a whole field of red berry beans, row after row of them, and start a coffee plantation. You can buy them straight from the supermarket, there's no skill requirement to grow them, they're much easier and faster to propagate than money trees, and they still make insane amounts of money because each coffee bean can sell for a few hundred $ and you get multiple from each plant. The downside is you'll probably still need more coffee plants than money trees to make the same amount of money. But you still make a ton of money regardless especially if you get your coffee plants up to perfect quality, use sprinklers and other labor-saving methods, and raise lots of either birthed (better potential trait choices) or adopted (can start on later life stages to save time) children to become expert green thumb gardeners

@@nikolozgilles I never set out to do money trees, they happen. My favorite OP career is painting. The challenges for 15 paintings for the business office or wherever pay up to 4 or 5 times the actual price. Those are worth doing, they don't count toward the painter profession advancement but you can get partnerships in more rabbit holes.

Not Ryan, but I know a lot of sims players use Nraas' mods to improve the playability of TS3, especially their Overwatch mod. It automatically cleans up passive actions in the neighbourhood, such as turning off speakers, TVs, resetting sims, etc.

I’m crying at “not Ryan” 🤣. I use Nraas overwatch too and the game has run so much smoother since. The only other mods I use are lazyduchess’s smooth patch and a few other Nrass mods

To eat from the plants, make sure no produce in inventory, click the red hunger icon. They'll automatically bend down and eat a produce. And with produce in inventory, click one and select eat. To not lose expensive produce, Cheaper - common ones are apples, lettuce, tomatoes and grapes. Maybe more? Nice to see someone else giving gardening career a shot! It's super frustrating, gardening at times, aint it!

Hahahah it’s the accent

I’m always Tryan my hardest

@@ryanplaysthesims omg senpai finally noticed me
