@GACLove14 You've probably got your bean by now, but just in case, I've found using the Mischief social "give fake bad news" works pretty well for making sims sad. :)

@scoed Exciting that you found such a great use for the vampire powers. If you want another option for making plantsims confident, "instill with false confidence" under Mischief socials worked for me.

Confident is easy as long as you have some of the dlc such as spa day. Use the suggest self esteem exercises interaction.
Or maybe the mischief skill and install false confidence. But pretty much if you wait a confident plant sim should appear. I actually had a real problem with flirty as all the plant sims were non-flirty and just got angry at my sim trying to flirt. My sim got super embarrassed and nearly died lol.

I'm laughing at everyone manipulating the emotions of those poor, hapless greenie sims!

@FrancescaFiori   Shaming on you, pranking that greenie sim for a magic bean, rofl.

Out of curiosity, is there a way to stop being a plantsim? Some type of "cure?"

According to Sims VIP:

Quote
PlantSims who do not get enough water will eventually “dry out” (which causes their hair to turn grey) and after 24 hours, their hunger will begin to deplete. PlantSims who do not satisfy their water and hunger needs will receive the “Parched” and “Sun Starved” uncomfortable moodlets. This is the final warning to get them water. If PlantSims have not replenished their Water need within 24 hours, they will Wilt Away and become human.

In my game I only saw three plant sims ever. They showed up as happy, sad, focused (most common), or uncomfortable, never playful, angry, flirty or confident. As only three sims showed up ever and never more then two a day it took a while to get all the beans as is given the long cool down timer. Had I not manipulated them I would not have completed the challenge in the two sim weeks of trying. I had to talk to Jasmine twice to get the first plant sim to show and regardless of my conversations no more then the same sims would show up. I even tried traveling. Your lucky only flirty gave you issues, I had to manipulate sims for over half of the beans as I haven't seen a flirty, confident, angry, or playful plant sim I didn't  manipulate into said mood. It is kinda moot anyway as the sim family I am playing are a bunch of blood suckers immune to the fruit. At least I got a cool looking tree out of it.

Good to know that "instill false confidence" and " suggest self esteem exercises" trigger a confident moodlet in case I create a normal sim to become a plant sim. Minus Vamp powers I was at a loss. Thanks Nindigo, Candyd, and Playalot I learned something new from you. It is much appreciated. Reggikko good information on changing them back.

One thing of note plant sims can be turned into vamps. I got mad at one of the three plant sims in my game and turned her as punishment after I got my last been. That might have been a mistake given how rare they seem to be in my game world if I start a boring human just to turn it into a plant sim. Actually a plant sim ghost sounds fun. Anyone know if the is possible?

If you are in control of a ghost and direct them to eat a forbidden fruit I'd imagine they will turn into a plantsim for those 5 days the buff/moodlet lasts. I haven't tried it though.

Having to manipulate the plantsims into giving the right type of bean can certainly be frustrating. I have no problems with cheating to get what I need as I have absolutely zero tolerance for unnecessary stress in my gaming time. If it stops being fun I cheat it and move on. I wasn't like this with previous sims games but at times with TS4 the mechanics of the game are actually at fault, not your skill as a player.

In a way I am thankful for the added challenge. I learned about emotion manipulation that I likely would not have. And it only took maybe 6 hours real time to complete even with the lack of plant sims and the need to manipulating them into the right moods. I have another question, those of you who have successfully created a plant sim, can other sims get beens off of them? That kinda would be cool.

Can't get beans off a sim that has eaten the forbidden fruit and become a plantsim. But the forbidden fruit tree has a max harvest of 10 fruit so you'll get plenty of fruit if you like your sim being a plantsim.  :)

In my current game, without talking to Jasmine, I've had 1 plantsim come along.  It was Siobhan Fyres and she was angry.

I kinda wish Sims would automatically keep their regular hairstyles after becoming plants :-\

That is too bad about not being able to shake down player plant sims for beans. So the tree is only good for ten fruit? I was hoping it was on a timer so after five days when it wears off you can get a new fruit thus staying a plant forever if you wish. I am a occult life state nut and keeping plants sims plants indefinitely would have been nice. I guess I can cheat new trees if that is my goal. Thanks for the information.

No, I mean the forbidden fruit tree has a max harvest of 10 fruit every time you harvest it. Not just 10 fruit in total.  :) So you will easily be able to keep a sim as a plantsim forever if that is what you want.
