Unlike the previous Sims games, The Sims 3 gardening has been much expanded upon, introducing many real-life plants and several fictional species such as the ' Life Fruit', 'Flame Fruit', and 'Plasma Fruit'.
It involves (as with gardening in real life and the previous Sims games) the planting, growing and harvesting of various plants that Sims can find within the game. The skill is augmented by the Green Thumb trait, and the Super Green Thumb lifetime reward.
