The table below shows you everything you can grow on a garden patch. It includes the levels you unlock the seeds at, how much they cost from the garden patch or from the supermarket (you get a discount on most items if you buy from the supermarket) as well as how many simoleons and XP you earn from growing that item.
Remember if your sim is inspired (all their needs are fulfilled) they will earn more simoleons and XP when gardening

*Plant at your own risk! Some seeds you can plant on the garden patch have a green monster triangle symbol on them, this means that they could turn into a sim eating plant instead of the plant. If this happens you will not earn the simoleons or XP you would have got if it didn’t turn into a sim eating plant and you will have to negotiate with it for 3 minutes before you can use the patch again. Although you can usually watch an advert now to get a reward rather than negotiating with it, but it isn’t the full amount and you don’t always get this option.

Hi! This is very off topic, but do you have any advice for starting the SimsFreeplay? I am not sure if you have made a post on this, and if you have I’ll look for it! I had gotten so far with my sims game, but then I lost all my progress and I couldn’t retrieve it, so I’ve started again. Thank you! P.S. I love your blog!
Thanks, I have a beginners guide that might be quite helpful: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2014/01/01/the-sims-freeplay-beginners-guide/ let me know if you have any questions
Hi I love ur blog and it explains everything I need to know about sims freeplay! Can you tell me if the spinage plant is worth it? I had a LP and I spent it on it…but I didn’t realise the ‘plant at your own risk’ sign! whats the chances of not getting the XP and money? Knowing my luck, I won’t get it lol! (Sorry if I spelt spinage wrong)
That is a good question, sorry I don’t know the % of it turning into a plant, they don’t say in the game like they do with the spin plants, sorry again!
