I rarely play with supernaturals (apart from witches) and decided it might be fun to add some plantsims into my neighbourhood. The only problem? No sims are turning into plantsims. I have several families with large gardens but no matter how much I've sprayed for bugs (and I've tested over a two sim-week consecutive period) not one sim has changed. I have a few different plantsim mods but the only ones HCDU detects a conflict with is Cyjon's Plantsim Fix and jfade's Some Chance Of Plantsim. Is this a load order issue or are they incompatible?

The only other plantsim mods I have are a DR skin and sim, Cyjon's Plantbaby Changes, and [Black_Spirit]'s Plantsims Can Turn Other Sims Into Plantsims, if that's relevant.

Yes, first of all JFade's mod will prevent Cyjon's fix from working, and second of all there seems to be a bug in JFade's mod that reduces the chance of becoming a plantsim to zero in at least some circumstances. With Cyjon's mod the chance is already only 10% anyway.

Good to know. I'll get rid of the jfade one, thanks.

In the default game without mods it seems you need to spray a plant with pesticides multiple times in the same play session. Spraying adds a memory token that has an invalid identifier. It is then removed on the next load and the counter restarts.

That's why I played for two consecutive sim weeks, I even gave plants bugs in debug mode to give extra chances to turn into a plantsim. Nothing. So I'll try it again without the jfade mod and see what happens.

Yes, that's the issue that Cyjon's mod fixes.

Update: I took out jfade's mod, loaded up my household with the largest garden and started playing. Lo and behold, one day in and Emlyn became my first plantsim!
