It’s not very convincing to me. Do the world’s top scientists really have to take so much time out of their day to weed bell pepper bushes and apple trees? Of course, there are fringe benefits, like the Flame Fruit (see yesterday’s account of the mysterious Cozy Fire bonus carrying it in your pocket), the Money Tree, and some sort of Life Bush I’ve seen referenced, but haven’t found yet. And to “learn” new plants, you have to hunt around town for seeds. And when I say “you have to hunt around town”, I mean “you” the player, not “you” your sim. The seeds are tiny specks. Scroll around the map looking for them. You can’t miss them, so long as you know to look for little specks (for 40,000 life points, you can buy a magical butterfly that you set to show seeds, insects, or rocks on the map view). Once you’ve found some seeds, send your gardener/scientist to gather them.
