How to Get Every Seed (Including Locked Seed Packs)

Gardening is the fresh air of relaxation and a hobby for many, and The Sims 4 offers an excellent way to grow plants of choice. Moreover, the game allows Simmers to brush up their skills to get more seeds and farm. The more your Sim improves their gardening skill, the more they will benefit. Not only for hobby, but many game features require specific plants to prepare beverages, potions, and many more items. 

With the Seasons pack, you can become a pro at gardening and grow yourself in the Garden Career. To start with gardening basics in The Sims 4, you must have the seeds in your Inventory. So, this article will help you obtain every seed, including the locked seed packs, in The Sims 4.

Using a Garden Planter Box, Garden Pot, Garden Patch, or Vertical Garden

How Fertilizers Help Growing Plants in The Sims 4?

When you evolve the plants perfectly, you can do numerous things with them, including selling, preparing potions, etc. In The Sims 4 gardening journey, fertilizers become an essential factor, but not all are useful. 

Before fertilizing your plant, ensure you have reached Level 3 of the Gardening Skill. When reaching Level 3, tap on the plant and choose the Fertilize option. Fertilizing plants can be done after every 4 days, but, if your plant needs no fertilization, then you won't be able to access the Fertilize option. 

Note: Beware as you will not get any notification on fertilization from the system, requiring you to check it on your own. 

The strength of a fertilizer is affected by its Simoleon value. The more valuable a fertilizer is, the more beneficial it is for your plant. When evolving the plant, you need to choose a costly fertilizer immediately for the best benefits. However, selecting a low-strength and cost fertilizer will not help your plant.

• Any fertilizer between 5-11 Simoleons will not be that fruitful.
• Considering any fertilizer with the 12-19 Simoleons will give you mediocre perks. 
• Fertilizer above 50 Simoleons is the best to use for excellent growth. 

Some of The Sims 4 Fertilizers you must consider for maximum plant growth are: 

• Fungal Infusion Fertilizer
• Dragon Fruit
• Bees
• Growfruit
• Pet Poop
• Wolf Eel
• Anglerfish
• Tuna
• Rose
• Trash Fruit
