The Sims 3 Gardening Guide: Seed/Plant List

Plants in University Life, World Adventures, and Other Expansion Packs

This Sims 3 Guide was originally written for the PC and Mac versions of the game, but also will help owners of the console versions - PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. Please remember some info or numbers may have changed.
This Plant List includes growth times, values and notes for obtaining every type of plant in the Sims 3 and the Sims 3's World Adventures expansion packSupernatural Expansion, and University Life Expansion, the three which currently provide the most additions to the game's plant types. The list also goes a long way toward helping Xbox 360 and PS3 console owners of the Sims 3. Look to the bottom of the list for information on finding the new plants in the travel destinations included in the expansion.
The requirements for what you can plant are simple. At level 1, you can only plant common plants. Sims can plant Uncommons at level 5. Rare and Special plants are plantable at level 7. The special gardening opportunities require your Sim to be in Sunset Valley or Riverview and be at least level 9 before they will trigger.
Base Growth times are included to show the effects of powerful fertilizer. Check the Fertilizer Guide for information on what fertilizer does and doesn't do in the game.
Harvest Value is for one harvestable of that type. Plants can give anywhere from 1-5 produce depending on the variety. The formula is simple. Perfect quality plants sell for quadruple the value of a normal specimen.

Plants New to The Sims 3 via Expansions

World Adventures Plants

Champs Les Sims, France is the single best place to head to find the new plants in World Adventures. One trip there and you'll have all of them except the cherry tree. Cherimola and Renoit grapes can be purchased at the general store. Look to the house along the dirt road up the river from the base camp to find two other varieties. The rare grapes can be found from the special vendor at VISA level 3. They can also be found on the little island in the river. You can get there by using Zeneport, cheating or by going through the tomb located in the image below. It's quite a big one, but you can also find some valuable collectibles on the island and find plenty of treasure along the way. Smashing the rocks requires Pangu's Axe, which is only obtainable in China. If you're out to get this I have to recommend Martial Arts as the easiest way short of cheating, because a single trip to China may not be enough to get the axe but it's plenty of time to grab a skill book or training dummy for use in between trips.

You can find other countries' rare plants in the garden of the house in the shot below. Pomelos, Plums and Pomegranates can all be picked here. Thanks to Pam Marsden for this helpful map which saves me the time describing how to find this house!

The next place I'd like to mention is Shang Simla, China. A trip here to learn Martial Arts and picking up cherries is all you need to do to get yourself access to all the new plants in World Adventures. The marketplace here sells Plums and Pomelos, while Cherries and Pomelos can be harvested wild from Han's Orchard.
Al Simhara, Egypt is the last place to look for the new plants. The first two are so good you'll likely only be interested in harvesting here if you're already travelling there. Pomegranates and Cherries are sold at the general goods vendor, while Pomelos and Pomegranates are harvested wild across the river at the farm to the Sphinx's left.

The Sims 3 Late Night Plants

The Sims 3 Late Night only adds one new type of plant to the game: The Plasma Fruit Plant. Plasma fruit are important to Vampires, as they serve as a way to satisfy their thirst for plasma. They require level 7 gardening to plant, as they are of the special variety. Several Plasma Fruit are given to a Sim who has recently turned to a vampire. If they're a gardener, they can plant them at gardening level 7. Plasma Fruit can also be purchased in the supermarket in town. They can be used in recipes and for Nectar Making. You may also consider stocking a bar with them to make Plasma Fruit mixed drinks. Plasma Fruit can satisfy a Vampire Sim's need to feed, but they won't get a good moodlet unless they're Vegetarians. Using Plasma Fruit in Nectar or Drinks from Mixology will give Vampires better moodlets.
You can find the new seeds in Bridgeport's Butterfly Pavilion Dome. The seeds will glow red, and are worth about $50 a pop, so should be picked up even if you aren't interested in planting them.

The Sims 3 Pets and Showtime

These expansions bring one plant each. Pets brings the uncommon Carrot, and Showtime the Banana Tree. Bananas offer the single highest Gardening skill experience boost when planted, and are the easiest way to level from 7-10 Gardening.

The Sims 3 University Life

Herbs and Coffee Beans in The Sims 3 University Life
The Sims 3 University Life adds Coffee Beans and Herbs which can be planted and harvested with Gardening just like other plants. The plants and their growth times are listed in the master list above, but here we will discuss the special effects of these new plant additions.
Eating these raw with a normal plant will give you an hour buff, cooking it in food will give a 5 hour buff, drinking 3 hours, and inhaling from the bonfire 2 hours. Higher quality plants give longer boosts, multiplying the duration by up to 2.5 for Perfect, while poor-quality plants will give less.
Upon ingesting these plants, there is a chance for Nausea - giving no positive effect, only making a Sim sick. Plant Quality affects this chance.
