How to get Life Fruit ?

[kiko94]

Like the title is saying, how to get life fruit, besides of planting them, I have a sim who has to make the master invention, I need 10 life fruits, I have 1 from being in the science career, now common people, only 9 to go ! (I have all ep's) so I believe the pyramid have some? if someone knows how many and if they are ready to be harvested? I'm playing in Twinbrook , so do you know if any townie has some? and finally, I don't wish to refer to cheating unless it's the only thing I could do

I don't think any Twinbrook townies have life fruit, It's not that hard to get life fruit just read the skill book untill you get to level 7 and look for seeds.

Plant the one you got from the Science Center and plant the first 3 or 4 you harvest.

I know nut it's for my weirdo story, he hates gardening, but he is level 10, so I know that getting that plant shouldn't be that hard, but I wish to find a cool way to get them , and gardening isn't :p

If it's legal for you to go to Edit Town, you could have someone else plant some life fruit and then harvest theirs.

[kiko94]

Ah now your talking  everything is legal in Kiko's zone , excellent suggestion

Or, I know you said you don't wanna cheat and that's fine. But just throwing it out there for anyone else that might be having this problem and doesn't mind cheating, there are Life Fruits in the buydebug menu. They are normal quality of course, but for this quality doesn't matter.

And a lot of times the plants you get with buydebug will already have fruit on them ready to harvest. And you tell in buy mode after you drop them if they have fruit or not. Drop enough plants until you see 10 fruit and come back to live mode and harvest them.

The pyramid with the life fruit is the only place I know of in game that it grows.  Otherwise you have to go to buydebug to place life plants in town.

However, if you go to that pyramid with it in the room, and harvest it, and then come back a couple of days later, you might have enough.  Make sure your sim has the prepared traveler reward to help with this.  That particular pyramid is in an opportunity chain, but it's the one that starts with the newbie quest.  Without a moodlet manager and/or level 1 visa to start, one trip may not be enough.  You have to do a couple of tombs before that, but with a moodlet manager and knowing where to go, it goes quick, especially if your charisma is high for the parts of the opportunity chain that require you to talk to locals.

Are you sure that's Life Fruit and not Flame Fruit?

[imaGleek]

Yeah, I've done that adventure before and I'm pretty sure that it's flame fruit too.

[athena]

The truly fastest way is to plant the life-fruit you have, tend it carefully, put fertilizers, then harvest and multiply. That's all there is to it. If by any chance you have the omni plant, feed it with the life fruit and it will bear/replicate life fruits too.

[Pam]

Athena sums it up nicely.  There's really no other way to get 10 Life Fruits.  There are special seeds in Twinbrook, just like there are in every other town (except Barnacle Bay).  You've just got to find them and grow them.

[PJSim]

Are you sure that's Life Fruit and not Flame Fruit?

It's both. If you follow that first adventure chain you get in Egypt (the one with the Morcucorp storyline) one of the early tombs has flame fruit but much later (after hacking the computer) you get to a pyramid with both life fruit and (I believe) a death flower and also money trees. With the Prepared Traveler reward I can usually just make it on the first trip; it's a long adventure chain.
Then on your second trip you can camp out at that pyramid and the fruits should respawn at 5 am. You can fish for Mummy fish while waiting. I have never actually checked how much you can harvest from that life plant though, because I find it easier to just grow them at home, lol.
